Overall: A no-nonsense and well-priced version of ATI’s latest-range graphics card

ATI launched the X1800GTO in response to Nvidia’s latest mid-range card, the 7600GT.

Based on a cut-down version of the X1800XT’s R520 core it features just 12 pixel pipelines instead of the 16 found on both the XT and XL. Vertex shaders remain the same at eight.

The Gecube X1800GTO doesn’t vary much from the reference design - the core and memory clocks are both 500MHz (1GHz effective for the 256MB of memory).

The card comes bundled with all the cables and other bits and pieces you should need, including a DVI to VGA adapter, S-video and composite extension cables. You also get a Component video dongle.

With a low price tag, it’s a card that would suit most users including casual gamers.
