Konklusion

Efter endt test af Sapphires Radeon X850XT har jeg ikke den helt store lyst, til at tage grafikkortet ud af systemet. Det kan ikke diskuteres, at kortet ligger nogle rigtig gode tal for dagen i benchmarks. Ikke kun i forhold til de sammenlignede grafikkort, men også generelt. Over 50 FPS i både Far Cry og Half-Life 2 med en opløsning på 1600x1200 og 4xAntiAliasing + 8xAnisotrofisk Filtrering må siges at være ganske imponerende.

Spørgsmålet er så om ydelsen retfærdiggør merprisen på lidt mere end 800kr for et X850XT frem for et X800XL (2600-2700kr for Asus Extreme AX800XL - ca. midt i prisspektret for X800XL). Personligt vil jeg sige nej. Godt nok har vi med et meget hurtigt kort at gøre, men 3500kr er mere end hvad man giver for de billigste low-end computere. Det skal dog nævnes, at Sapphires pris ligger i den lave ende af spektret og samtidig følger der en god bundle med, så for dem der gerne betaler 3500kr for et grafikkort er Sapphires X850XT et godt valg.

Positivt

God ydelse.

God bundle.

Negativt

Prisen.

UK Conclusion

After I finished testing Sapphire's Radeon X850XT I don't feel much like removing the graphics card from the system. It's not arguable that this graphics card produces some very good numbers when benchmarking. Not just when compared to other graphics cards, but also generally. More than 50 FPS in both Far Cry and Half-Life 2 with a resolution of 1600x1200 and 4xAntiAliasing + 8x Anisotrophic Filtering is quite impressive.

The question is does the performance justify the extra charge of a little more than 800kr for an X850XT in preference to an X800XL (2600-2700kr for an Asus Extreme X800XL - approximately in the middle of the price range for X800XL). Personally I think not. After all this is a fast graphics card, but 2500kr is more than what you pay for the cheapest low end computers. I would, however, like to bring out the fact that Sapphire's price is in the low end of the price range and their bundle is quite good, so for the people who gladly pay 3500kr for a graphics card Sapphire's X850XT is a good choice.

Positive

Good performance.

Good bundle.

Negative

The price.
