The Guru of 3D has posted a review on the HiS Radeon X1600 XT ICEQ ITURBO video card

Hey everybody, it's time for a new graphics card review here at Guru3D.com, this week a retail version of ATI's Radeon X1600 XT card. A card that was received by the consumer with a "so-so" response. Even though it's packed with the latest features and decent enough performance, the consumers figured that the product was released too expensive compared to NVIDIA's latest gem, the GeForce 6800 GS. And that was a very valid conclusion.

Something has changed since the October announcement though, ATI made sure the prices where lowered and we can now get this X1600 XT product for the same price as, for example, a GeForce 6600 GT .. and that's where this product is getting more interesting. Today's tested product comes from our loyal partner HiS, they are releasing this X1600 XT product with IceQ cooling onto the market for a very attractive suggested 179 USD and that's including 256 MB of memory, a free game and furthermore a nice bundle. This means that you can chip off another 10 or 20 bucks if you order it in e-tail.
