ASUS Extreme AX800 XT Sneak Peek

Zitat

We really like what we’ve seen from the Extreme AX800 XT so far. Dual DVI is a feature ATI owners have been wanting for years now. This call only intensified with the GeForce 6800 Ultra’s dual DVIs as a standard feature. Today, ASUS provides it with the EAX800 XT. This feature alone could sell a lot of boards for them. Smart Doctor and the heatpipe cooling will also likely draw a lot of gamers eyes. ASUS even provides a webcam (although we don’t know how popular this feature will be). The only thing that’s really missing is video input, but we assume ASUS plans to provide this with their PCI Express-based X800 XT Platinum Edition card.

ASUS’ video cards have been impressing us for years now, and the Extreme AX800 XT is poised to continue that tradition. ASUS is one of the few manufacturers that builds cards that stand out from the crowd. Whether it’s single-slot NVIDIA cards, or ATI cards with dual DVIs and video input support, ASUS is definitely turning heads. As we said at the outset, it looks like ASUS has another winner on their hands with the Extreme AX800 XT. Be on the lookout for the full review in the coming weeks.
