Chinese subsidiary of ASUSTeK Computer this week unveiled the EAX1800 XT TOP graphics card that is based on the ATI RADEON X1800 XT graphics processor and features increased clock-speeds, something which was expected to be made by ATI’s add-in-board partners in an attempt to catch up with the performance of the GeForce 7800 GTX 512.

ASUS EAX1800XT TOP clocks RADEON X1800 XT graphics processor at 650MHz and 512MB of GDDR3 memory at 1550MHz, up from default speeds of 625MHz for the visual processing unit (VPU) and 1500MHz for the memory. The board from ASUSTeK is equipped with reworked cooling system that resembles those made by Arctic Cooling company. Furthermore, to guarantee stable operation, ASUS will equip its ASUS EAX1800XT TOP with external power supply.
