For over 10 years, Sapphire Tech has been supplying the computing industry with products out of their ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO18001 certified factories. They have been producing quality ATI based graphics boards since the middle of 2001 and are the major manufacturer to top ten tier 1 OEMs for ATI based boards. With a claimed 1.8 million board monthly capacity it is no wonder Sapphire Tech is a recognized worldwide leading producer of ATI powered graphics cards. Today we will look at their PCIe Hybrid X700PRO video card.



Sporting 256MB of 128-bit GDDR3 memory, this X700pro chipset based board fully supports DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL. With double the pixel pipelines of the Sapphires X700 entry, the performance of this fairly mainstream chipset will hopefully satisfy the average gamers needs and requirements of today�s games. We will get the complete specifications and conduct a full range of benchmarks to see where this card stands. For now, we'll have a look at the very compact packaging.
