REVIEW

By Jason Cross

The ASUS AX800 XT, based on the ATI Radeon X800 XT, offers more goodies than most graphics card packages. For starters, it includes the usual connectors: a DVI to VGA adapter; component, composite, and S-Video video cables for a TV; and a power cable in case you need another Molex plug. The card is orange and occupies a single slot in your PC, and the heat sink/fan lights up blue when you power up. Performance is on a par with other X800 XT Platinum Edition cards.
