The Connect3D comes in a modest box, which is sensible - no need to waste resources with oversized packaging. The box does shout about the presence of 256MB of GDDR3 memory and ViVo (Video In, Video Out) support, provided by a Rage Theatre 200 chip. This gives it a feature advantage over the GeForce 6800 GS. There’s one DVI port, one D-Sub VGA output and one TV Out, with cables provided for Component, S-video and composite output. A DVI port to VGA converter is provided, along with a four-pin to six-pin converter for the power connector on the rear of the board. There are no games bundled, which helps to keep the price down.

The card looks like a conventional X800 with a smaller heatsink and fan to that of the 6800 GS. This makes sense as the GPU clock speeds are relatively modest, at 400MHz. The memory is running at 980MHz. Based on the 130nm micron process R423 core, this 12-pipeline card, six-vertex shader board is a X800 XT that didn’t make the grade. However, there are reports that these cards will ‘mod’ much like Sapphire’s GTO2 to a 16-pipeline card, and overclock almost as well, though we didn’t try it and again, there’s absolutely no come back should anything go wrong.
