Neoseeker take a look at Gigabyte's Fanless X800 256MB.



Based on the purported 6600GT killer, the X800 features 12 pipes and a 256-bit memory interface compared to the 8/128 configruation of the 6600GT. Gigabyte has juiced up the original ATI specs a bit going from 128MB of 700mhz memory to 256MB of 1.0Ghz memory. Along with the extra memory is Gigabyte's heatpipe cooling solution which adds yet another few dollars to the cost. The additional costs put it much closer to 6800 rather than 6600GT territory. To get a good idea of where it stands on the performance front we toss the X800 up against the 6600GT, the 6800 and the X800 XL.
