Overall: Keeps the noise down while providing excellent performance

Although graphics card manufacturers might not like to talk about it, many people still own a PC with AGP graphics.

If you’re one of them and are feeling left out with all the recent hype over the X1800 and 7800GTX launches, the X850XT Platinum Edition Uniwise AGP from Gecube will still give you a decent frame rate in any game you care to mention.

Based on ATI’s Radeon X850XT Platinum Edition core, the Gecube does away with the reference design two-slot cooling system. Instead, it uses Gecube’s own single-slot Uniwise copper-based heatpipe cooling technology to cool the core.

Clock speeds are 540MHz for the core while the 256MB of GDDR3 memory speeds along at 590MHz DDR (1.18GHz effective).
