ATI has quietly launched the Radeon X800 GT, The Register has learned. News of the part emerged last month, and today at least one Taiwanese board maker finally launched products based on the new chip.
A visit to ATI's web site reveals a reference to the X800 GT, but only among products which its hardware partners will ship. ATI, it seems, will not be offering X800 GT-based boards of its own. The X800 GT is believed to derive from ATI's R480 core. It contains eight pixel processing pipelines and six vertex engines, and is clocked to around 470MHz. It only supports PCI Express x16 connections - there's no AGP 8x version.
