Fatal1ty X800XL 512MB Wins 3-Way Roundup at Clubic
Innovative design triumphs with unique features and strong performance

October 18, 2005 – ABIT is no stranger when it comes to innovation. By collaborating with World Champion Gamer Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, ABIT has produced the Fatal1ty Hardware Series – motherboards and graphics cards designed for the gamer from the ground up. The latest addition, the Fatal1ty X800XL 512MB graphics card, was recently tested against two other graphics cards at Clubic.com. Not only did the Fatal1ty X800XL manage to win a "Very Good" rating from Clubic editors, but it also distinguishes itself with its unique design.

The Fatal1ty X800XL 512MB is engineered with unique features. Clubic was very impressed with its XTurbo Technology: "And just right beside of VGA connector, we find one of the great originalities of this card: a red push button, the XTurbo...This button is used for overclocking automatically the card, bypassing its original frequencies of 400/500 MHz, to 418 MHz for the VPU and 546 MHz for the memory."

How did it fare with overclocking? "For ABIT, the report is different and it is extremely logical considering its target audience. At the level of overclocking, XTurbo, we could reach the 425 MHz for the VPU and the 550 MHz for the memory, which is very honorable even if we would have liked to reach the 430 MHz."

But what about performance? "The ABIT Fatal1ty model always leads his competitors based on the X800XL…Here, the excellent frequencies of the ABIT Fatal1ty model really profits well since it shows 3% faster than PowerColor VGA card…ABIT's Radeon X800XL continues to work very well since it gets ahead of GeForce 7800. When tested under DOOM 3, the excellent frequencies of the ABIT VGA card meant 3% better performance than the PowerColor VGA card…On side of Radeon X800 XL, ABIT model remains the most powerful, thanks to its higher frequencies. Compared with PowerColor card, the ABIT Fatal1ty X800XL is 1.8% faster."

Conclusion: "Between these 2 cards, we should notice that ABIT model is the most original design and this uniqueness is our preference...ABIT innovates with its overclocking button."
