When shopping for a new video card, naturally, we all want the fastest card available performance wise. However, many simply can't justify the price that some high-end cards currently command. With many premium models now selling for more than $500, gamers on a budget often need to focus their efforts on finding a good, mid-range 3D graphics solution.
When we look at the mid-range graphics card market, ATI's Radeon X700 is a popular model that fits the needs of many gamers quite well. It's got a good feature set, and it won't break the bank. Today, we are going to take a look at the latest X700 based PCI Express video card to hit our test bench, with a review of Sapphire's Toxic Radeon X700 Pro 128. This is a promising mid-range card boasting 128MB of GDDR3 RAM and an oversized cooler that aims to control heat while keeping noise to a minimum. We've seen similar offerings like this crop up as of late, so we're going to take a closer look and see if Sapphire brings anything new to the fray with their Toxic Radeon X700 Pro 128.
