ATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition AGP Review

Published by

Although it may be a bit late to be taking a look at this board now, as ATI's next generation X1000 series of graphics cards have been announced and released, it still looks as though there will be no high end AGP versions coming to market, which currently still leaves the X850 XT Platinum Edition as ATI?s highest performance AGP board produced.

With so many AGP systems still in use, and given the stagnation in Intel CPU?s for AGP platforms, we thought it would be useful to ascertain whether upgrading older graphics boards, such as a Radeon 9800 PRO, to something such as the X850 could be possible path as opposed to changing to a PCI-Express system.
