Sapphire X1600 Pro PCIe Video Card Review @ LegitReviews

Iria · Mar 20, 2006, 05:18 AM

Innovation and competition are constantly driving the high end video card market and as we have seen over the past few weeks it can happen very quickly. The introduction of the 7900GTX and 7600GTX have given ATI competition not only in performance but in price as well. ATI has responded in kind by lowering prices across their lineup. We covered most of the high and mid range pricing in our X1800 GTO article last week. Prices lowering in those two areas is music to the ears of those looking to upgrade on a budget.

The Radeon X1600 Pro has been available since November and up until a few days ago was considered one of the best mid-range cards on the market, but that was last week. With 7600GT being launched and the X1800 GTO on the way we find it being the subject of a significant price reduction. It can now be found just over the $100 mark and at this price represents a terrific value.
