[url=http://www.creative.com]Creative[/url] hat seine Creative 3D Blaster X300 & X700 Pro offiziell vorgestellt. Wie die Produktnamen bereits verraten basieren beide auf der ATI Radeon X300 bzw. Radeon X700 GPU. Die Creative 3D Blaster X300 taktet mit 375 MHz und die Creative 3D Blaster X700 Pro mit 425 MHz. Beide Karten können auf 128 MB Grafikspeicher zurückgreifen, wobei bei der X300 DDR und bei der X700 Pro GDDR3 Speicher zum Einsatz kommt. Bei beiden ist der Speicher mit 128 Bit angebunden. Ab Mitte November sind beide Karten im Handel erhältlich. Die Creative 3D Blaster X300 kostet 209 S-$ und die Creative 3D Blaster X700 Pro soll 369 S-$ kosten. Ob, wann und zu welchem Preis die Karten auch hierzulande im Handel erhältlich sein werden ist noch unklar. Werbung
