Elite Bastards take a look at a Radeon X1300 XT-based graphics board

As we've already mentioned, what we're looking at today is the Overclock Edition of Sapphire's Radeon X1300 XT, which comes with some pretty hefty differences from ATI's reference design for this part. The first major change is in the memory department - Out goes the 256MB of GDDR2, to be replaced with 256MB of GDDR3 in its wake. Then, as the product name suggests, we find ourselves with a hefty boost in clock speeds - Core clocks are increased from 500MHz on the standard X1300 XT up to 575MHz, and the 400MHz memory clock on the base SKU is thrown out the window (largely thanks to the use of GDDR3 ram), leaving up with modules clocked at a massive 695MHZ. While some boards can be labelled as 'overclocked' thanks to just a clock speed bump of 10MHz or so, Sapphire have really gone to town and pushed the specifications to the limit here, which really must be commended.
