Value and conclusion

The Mad Moxx X800 GTO² Burstfire retails for 229.90 €. Compared to a standard Sapphire Radeon GTO² (189.90 €), with an AC Silencer (21.90 €), which together would cost you 211.80 €, I think that the 18.10 € is a good investment. You are certain to receive an X850 series card with a Silencer (keeping your warranty as well). The performance is certainly higher than that of a standard unmodded X800GTO²

ATI strikes back against NVIDIA, prolonging the everlasting battle of high performance at an available price. Mad Moxx manages to improve on what ATI has tried to accomplish, and raises the plank by a significant bit. The craftsmanship of the card is beautiful to look at - imagining that quite a few people order these cards daily, the fit of the components is perfect, and indistinguishable from any "factory" card. You could almost feel the love put into assembling this card by hand, for example the mounting of the cooler showed no "gruesome" overflow of TIM, or anything similar. Mad Moxx successfully manages to re-define meaning of middle segment GPU performance.
