This time, the PCI-Express-native R430 that's fueling the X800 is directly connected to the PCI-Express bus without the use of the RIALTO bridge to convert the signals.
The R430 offers 12 pixel pipelines to the X800 vanilla, just like the X800 PRO but unlike the X800XL and X800XT's 16 pipeline architecture. 6 Vertex pipelines are still there for vertex processing as with all X800's.
The Connect3D X800 features 256MB of GDDR3 and a great 256-bit wide memory interface to support it.
A summary of the differences between the various X800 flavours can be seen in the following table.
