ATI Takes graphics a step further

By Usayd

Hmm, 256mb hasn’t even caught on yet!

ATI announced their first 512MB graphics card, the X800 XL 512MB. I have some systems that don’t have more than 512MB of system memory, much less on a graphics card. According to AnandTech, the 512MB card can’t outperform its 256MB counterpart and costs 50% more. ATI’s favorite Half Life 2 showed the only real performance increase in the entire article. Overall a disappointment, especially because ATI for some reason didn’t outfit their highest end GPUs with 512MBs, only the mid-range X800 XL.”

Judging from their reviews - this graphics card is shockingly crap! :D
