Radeon X600XT - PCI EXPRESS

jmke · 20th June 2004, 02:11

Its finally that time, the dawn of PCI Express, with AGP reaching its peak it was only a matter of time before we had a faster standard, and here we have it. PCI express with speeds in excess of a massive 4000MB per second.

How much of a difference will this make right now? Well until the hardware can catch up not a great deal. Over the coming year assuredly graphics boards will be released to take full advantage of the extra bandwidth available. Before we get into testing the ATI X600XT graphics card let me detail the new Driverheaven PCI Express Testing Rig which courtesy of INTEL will be used in alot of our forthcoming PCI express reviews

180 euros

. Too bad the review doesn't compare the card to a 9800 pro.

4 pipelines and a 128bit memory bus, I don't think it would do that good against a 9800 pro
