A couple months ago, I reviewed the Sapphire Radeon X800 Pro and was quite impressed by the performance it offered, especially when compared to the former ATI flagship video card -- the 9800 XT. In this review, I take a look at another card from Sapphire. It happens to be another X800 Pro, but this one is much different from the previous card, which was simply a copy of ATI's reference design with a different sticker on the cooler.

The card on the review bench this time is the Sapphire Toxic X800 Pro VIVO, and it is an entirely different kind of beast. Under the hood, it's still a X800 Pro of course, but Sapphire has tweaked more than just a couple things that will undoubtedly make you raise an eye-brow or two. For those of you keeping track at home, the Sapphire Ultimate series is out, and the Toxic series is in.
