Today at HEXUS we have for you a review of a GeCube Radeon X800XL graphics card. The X800XL is a great card when you look at price/performance. However, it is natively a PCIe part. So, where does that leave the mass of gamers with AGP slots? Worry not, as this X800XL features the Rialto AGP -> PCIe bridge. There's VIVO functionality too, so even more to cheer about, providing GeCube has put a decent product together.

Here's a snip from the review: The bridged card opens up the X800 XL for a well-established market that covers a plethora of chipsets, and the Rialto bridge doesn't appear to hurt performance at all. GeCube's eschewed the reference design by using an in-house cooling system, although it's not as elegant as the company's Uni-Wise implementation. Going with a custom cooler has added extra noise over and above the reference card's, so GeCube loses a few marks here. The card, too, is a larger-than-normal affair, making installation into small form-factor PCs needlessly difficult. The saving grace, as far as design is concerned, is the inclusion of ATI's no-frills Rage Theater ASIC, giving rise to basic VIVO functionality. The bundle makes a point of reiterating the card's HDTV and VIVO compatibility, but, other than that, it's strictly average.
