Our tests are a little underwhelming for the X800 Pro. With the 3400+, 512 MB DDR memory, and a 120 GB SATA HDD, the system is mostly CPU limited in the situations where we use 1024x768. Amazingly the 3dmark 2003 score is nearly 50% higher than the score for a 9800XT. I really don't care much for 3dmark 2003, but it is a decent indicator DirectX 9.0 performance.
