Hardwarezone.com	HardwareZone 4.5 Stars Award: Sapphire X800 GTO2 "Easily unlocked to its full potential of 16 pipelines from the initial 12, the modded GTO2 is unbeatable among the Sapphire cards. With some deft overclocking, reaching the heights of a Radeon X850 XT P.E is highly probable. For the bold adventurers though, the Sapphire Radeon X800 GTO2 can be rewarding and a great bargain as its overclocked and unlocked performance can rival the much more dearer Radeon X850 XT P.E. "
