Gathering our experience with each card in this shootout and considering the outcome of all the categories in which the cards were judged, our Winner Of The ATI RADEON X800 PRO Shootout goes to the Gigabyte GV-R80P256V graphics card. Though it is the most dearly priced card of the roundup, it had excellent out of the box performance thanks to it VPU having 16 active rendering pipelines, furnished with one of the best software/game/accessory packs and we had no qualms of its display output capabilities either.

As the results have shown, the Mobility Radeon 9700, as equipped in the Joybook 7000, was expectedly memory-limited. As a result, overclocking its memory always improved its performance much more than overclocking the GPU itself. Your own experience may be different since your notebook may come with faster graphics memory. Of course, overclocking the GPU also helped, just to a lower extend. And overclocking both GPU and memory generally resulted in even better performance.

There isn't really anything that we didn't like about the x800XL. Starting off, it's a single slot solution that doesn't require any additional power. Next, it performs as well or better than a 6800GT in most applications- in fact, it even outruns a 6800GT SLI setup in a few applications. And best of all, ATI has priced it at US$299/- which is pretty sweet for a card that performs as well. We think that ATI has a clear winner with the x800XL provided they can get the cards out to their partners fast.
