Pros: With the latest Catalyst drivers (6.5) and 2 of these running in crossfire mode, I scored an amazing 9500 in 3Dmark05!

Cons: My cards seem to be locked against overclocking (ATITool just makes the computer freeze up) ...but oh well, (keep reading)

Overall Review: One thing I was able to do to get higher 3Dmark numbers was overclock the PCI-Express frequency in the MoBo bios. A 15% overclock shot my score up around 500 points. I keep it at that and the system runs very stable. If you try this, just be careful not to clock it to high and fry the video cards or the motherboard. I can only imagine the numbers I could get if I could overclock the video cards as well. My system Asus A8R-MVP Athlon X2 3800 @ 2.25Ghz 2 Sapphire X1600XT’s 2 Gigs of Ram

Pros: Quieter than most video cards out there. Low profile when installed in case (doesn't block a ton of PCI slots). Overclocks very nicely! *** My 3DMark'05 score using crossfire on these cards was 8000. ***

Cons: None so far. Crossfire on my setup runs like a dream. Not worth the money for me to spend a lot for X1800 when I can just OC to those speeds :)

Overall Review: I have two of these in Crossfire setup. I get very nice FPS. BF2 avg. FPS = 55fps (with everything on high) F.E.A.R. video card testrun (everything on high) avg FPS = 50fps.. My Setup: ASUS A8R-MVP Mobo 2.4GHz (Oc'ed) AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Socket 939 2GB Supertalent DDR400 Memory 80GB WD SATA HD 160GB WD SATA HD Two Sapphire 256MB X1600 XT (in Crossfire setup) (OC'ed with ATI Tool) Sony DVDRW Samsung DVDROM X-Connect2 550Watt Modular PSU. Thermaltake Shark case

Pros: Solid card on its own. Great in Crossfire! 3DMark05 Scores 1 Sapphire X1600XT - 5100 2 Sapphire X1600XT in Crossfire - 8500 3Dmark06 2 Sapphire X1600XT in Crossfire - 4000 For this series of cards, you just need to identical X1600XT's to run in crossfire and there are no external connection cables to worry about. It's nice, it's clean, and it's FAST!

Cons: only 128-bit memory interface

Overall Review: Two of these perform about the same as one X1800XT so do the math on price to see which way you want to go. Tests done on: Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (OC to 2.2 Ghz) A8R-MVP mobo 2 gigs of ram

Pros: This card has a very good core clock and can play any game i throw at it really well at the highest settings.

Cons: For those that dont know the speeds in the catalyst control center report a clock of the core at 581 and memory clock of 684. For the novice though you need to know it is ddr3 so on the momory clock you have to take it times 2 so that would be684 x 2

Overall Review: For the price and speed of card is a great value. I upgraded from a x600 pro by same manufacture. I noticed alot of small detail differences glad i bought it. Of course as always newegg ships fast and answeres all questions in a very professional manner . Thank you for the good service newegg.

Pros: It has the latest architecture, DDR 3 memory, almost twice the memory bandwidth as the X1600 Pro version and is the next best thing to the X1800 series if you can't afford more than a midrange price. I've been playing King Kong on the highest settings and have seen amazing detail with no glitches and no issues with frame rate. The real selling point for this card is that it has the latest architecture and will be able to perform well in my PC for a long time.

Cons: Driver from Sapphire was old. No manual even on CD.

Overall Review: I used to read the graphics card reviews on Anandtech like it was the bible. But saw that they lumped in the XT version with the Pro version and concluded it wasn't a good choice. The XT version has almost twice the memory bandwidth as the Pro and more pipelines for just a few bucks more when you consider the cost of an earlier than necessary upgrade next time. The XT version is a solid option.

Pros: Works perfectly and DEAD SILENT! Love it! Don't even hesitate for a budget / moderate system.

Cons: Got ripped on the rebate, big suprise there. Buyer beware!

Pros: What can I say it is cheap and I could play Oblivion and Fear on all high settings. I am very impressed.

Cons: It did overlap onto one of my PCI slots on my ASUS P5B mobo, but other than that nothing negative to say.

Pros: This card Was a very good choice for me. i upgraded from a 128mb, 4 pixle piplines, and stock card. horible i know.... This one is awsome! i can play Cs:s with 60-85 Fps and ping at no higher then 55 in servers under 20 ppl and thats on highest settings! For World of Warcraft i get 60-80fps in Major citys like Org and IF, once again on high settings. I never have any problems with video card lag during AV or Running in IF. This card was a great price, looks cool, Works awsome! This was my first purchase from new egg and i plan to stay =)

Cons: The user interface for the video card options is not very user friendly. ---!!! For some reason i get "engin errors" when starting up some servers. this started when i instaled the card but it could be other things on my PC. i would get an error and it would say somthing about index lock could not connect to Cmesh x83947 .... or sumthing like that. i would start up a gamer evnter a server and when the serer is done loading it would minimize and just sit there... i would open up the game again and it would minimize and close then give me a pop up with an error message.!!!--- Last of witch i attemoted to plug this into my TV and when i turned onthe computer it would make the screen black and white and act like the tracking is off in A VCR on the screen ( if u know what that is ) but when i managed tog et into my user account it fixed itself and everythign was fine from there.

Overall Review: This card is awsome. i definatly recomend it if you want a great card for a great price. quick note on the engin error thing. my friend said it might be somthing to do with my Power suply not being able to handle it. but im not sure so it might now even be the card. other than that this card was a great choice for me and i cant wait to Crossfire it... =P
