Manufacturers tend to take different approaches to retail video cards. Some may focus on a nice bundle, with extra features. Others go a bit further, like adding overclocking features and funky cooling solutions. Most though, are content to just slap their logo on the heatsink and call it a day.

Gigabyte is one of the few who go a step further - most of their video card lineup consists of silent versions on both the ATI and NVIDIA side. Today, we're looking at two higher-end ATI based cards - the X800 and X800XL. That's right; a 100% fanless X800XL - a 16 pipe card clocked at 400 MHz. Surprisingly, Gigabyte did not include oven mitts in the bundle!
