Connect3D X1300 Pro 512MB Video Card Review

How do you squeeze every last bit of performance out of a budget GPU? Why you add more memory, of course! Connect3D has taken this approach when designing their flagship X1300 Pro with an amazing 512MB of dedicated video memory. But is that enough to shoot this card to the top of the charts?

No. The X1300Pro 512MB (and all other X1300 cards for that matter) are built on the RV515 core and there are no more shaders or pipelines available to unlock. It takes a very unique card to be able to unlock pipelines, it isn't very common.

I think I might have posted this before, but again, nicely done on the review :)

Is this 512MB HyperMemory or actually 512MB?

Seems it's actually 512MB. I don't see why many people would buy that card... at least many people who know what they're doing.
