VisionTek Radeon X800Pro Review

By Ian Bell June 7, 2004

Quote from the review at HardOCP:

“There is no question about it; VisionTek is selling a solid gaming card with a great amount of enthusiast potential. The MSRP is $399 USD. The MSRP of the GeForce 6800 Ultra is $499. The cards stack up to be gaming equals when you view the big picture. You can do the math on the pricing levels. Also you will want to consider that VisionTek is a USA-based company that has toll-free phone support during normal business hours, and they back their cards with a lifetime warranty that we have seen them stand behind.

We have been very strong supporters of buying ATI brand boxed video cards, but now that we have seen VisionTek weather a choppy business climate over the last year and come out swinging, they are once again turning our heads. If warranty and support are an issue for you when you buy a video card, the VisionTek X800Pro is looking to possibly become the de facto standard for ATI cards in the USA.”

One of the drawbacks of Apple’s new Vision Pro headset is the small number of available apps. Sure, you can load most iPad apps onto the mixed-reality headset, but it’s the tailor-made apps that really bring out the best in the Vision Pro.

The good news is that the Vision Pro App Store now has 1,000 visionOS apps ready for download by owners of the face-based computer, which started shipping for $3,499 on February 2.

3 ways the Quest 3 is better than the Vision Pro

Meta CEO Zuckerberg models the Quest 3 on the left while someone else wears an Apple Vision Pro on the right.

Meta's Quest 3 VR headset costs a fraction of Apple's Vision Pro, and while it didn't grab as many headlines, a humble Quest 3 quietly does several things better than Apple's ultra-premium spatial computer.

It's a topic that's been a source of contention in social media lately as Vision Pro fans fend off feisty Quest 3 owners who claim Meta's popular, low-cost device is still the best VR headset at one-seventh the price.
