Sapphire's RADEON X800GTO series, based on the highly successful X800 architectures, feature a 256-bit memory interface and 12 pixel pipelines, but by offering a choice of memory size, GPU cooler and clock speed options Sapphire delivers the best performance in this class.

Silently cooled by an amazing new heatpipe system, the Sapphire RADEON X800GTO ULTIMATE 256MB is equipped with GDDR3 memory and has a standard core clock speed of 400MHz and memory speed of 490MHz (980MHz effective). Using the bundled Sapphire TRIXX overclocking tool these speeds can be raised to 520 / 500MHz or better, depending on system conditions.

For the performance enthusiast the Sapphire RADEON X800GTO Fireblade Edition uses a conventional dual slot fan cooler venting outside the case. Fitted with 256MB of 1.6ns 256-bit GDDR3 memory the standard clock speeds are again 400MHz core and 490MHz memory (980MHz effective). On this model the bundled Sapphire TRIXX overclocking tool can raise these speeds to 550 / 540MHz or better, depending on system conditions.

The Sapphire RADEON X800GTO 128MB uses 256-bit DDR1 BGA memory; and has standard core speed of 400MHz and memory speed of 350MHz DDR (700MHz effective). Also designed for overclocking, this model is expected to deliver 520 / 380MHz at a very competitive price.
