Gecube offers three X800GT cards

jmke · 9th August 2005, 22:01

INFO-TEK the company behind the Gamecube brand has released three different cards based on ATI new old X800GT core. All cards have the same core clocked at 475 MHz and each has eight pipelines enabled. Some of the X800GT cards are R480 while most of the cards are based on R423 core but in each case they are a good bet for not so much money.

ATI is surely pressuring Nvidia with this card. We don't know whether it makes financial sense to sell a cripple high end chip at a sub mainstream price but ATI has got to have some great yields on those chips. Otherwise it might just want to screw Nvidia. We would not be surprised if that is the case.
