    Interesting review.
    Won't last long though, with newer cards coming out from both sides soon.

    Yeah, that's why we didn't give it an award. Crazily, it's got a shelf life of less than two months if X1600XT ships on time.

    What a shame...a pretty respectable card. Why didn't they do this earlier?

    It is, we're just worried about availability, shelf life and the non-arrival of the HIS X800GT in the UK marketplace. We reviewed that product at the start of September and it still hasn't appeared in the UK. :(

    I agree, had they done this 3 months ago or so, it would've been the most popular card out there, but now, just 2 months from the X1600 ship date, I can't see this getting much attention. Might want to mention why you didn't give it an award at the end of the article though.

    well... its pointless, spend a few more £ and get an x800gto2 like myself... o' look mines already unlcoked to an x850xtpe (pipelines + speed wise) and ho' sh!te i only spend £150 lol....

    must admit, i dont regret my purchase, i know the newer cards are coming out, but i cant be bothered to spend £300+ on a gfx card, that this card can keep up with, maybe when prices drop i'll get a newer card

    Well, that'll teach me to read everything thoroughly.

    Irritating clicking noise on the X800 GTO

    This is a great card but if the fan is set at any speed less than 100% then it starts making a noise like a cricket or ciccada.

    Don't bother trying to get any support from HIS they don't answer web site support forms or emails.

    Such a shame that a company can't be bothered to support their products when they have a flaw.
