A very curious product made by ABIT. It differs from the reference design by the additional Guru chip already familiar through other ABIT motherboards. This is the first video card equipped with a chip like that, which is sort of an experiment. Further on, more powerful solutions will be equipped with the Guru-video chip. The chip is in charge of the volt-modding: it allows raising the core voltage thus raising the card performance to a level approximately that of X600XT leaving our editor of the "Video" section without extra incomes engaged in re-soldering video cards :). To prevent probable BIOS damage, there is a backup chip installed. In case the master version turns damaged, the backup automatic re-flashing comes into play and the data is restored.

Jumper in the Guru mode
|
Switching between the PRO and XT modes is done with a jumper. A smart solution which still has no analogs. There is the only flaw though - the price. As regards ABIT RX600Pro+Guru, the standard X600XT costs 160$ in retail in Moscow. Of course, the results were taken in the Guru mode.
As is seen from the graph, the card is of absolutely different level than previous ones. The processor is no longer a factor constraining the performance. The 103.6 FPS have not been achieved. The cherished 60 FPS (comfortable gameplay) can be attained at 800x600 without enabling the quality settings.
