 Sapphire RADEON X800 GTO2
Time for a shopping spree...
(Review by MS, October 31, 2005)
Sapphire X800 GTO:

OpenGL: DOOM3 -- Quake4

Since the max overclocking results will vary from one card to the other, we left out those numbers for DOOM3 and only show those that are essentially guaranteed to work. At the lowest resolution, in this case 800 x 600 pixels, and using high quality, the graphics cards are not even fully utilized, at least not the modded versions as it is evident from the small delta between the average frame rates. At increasing resolutions, and at the Ultra Quality settings, the performance gains achieved by modding and overclocking become more and more noticeable.


Screenshot from the "Operation Advantage" benchmark demo which puts most of the load on the graphics card.
