If anyone missed that :)Quote:

Can't wait for the tests!
Beautiful VGA!:woot:
I imagine one of these X1950XTX cards will score about 18K '05. Thats of course with a good CPU/RAM.
woah, a bit high don't you think? I would say about 13.5-14k stock. Current stocks do about 12-12.5k don't they? I don't think its going to be as much of a boost over the current cards despite what people are hoping.
@ stock ~7%
but we dont care about stock :D
They are under NDA, we will have to wait until the end of the month.Quote:

Prolly yes. They didn't change it from X1800 to X1900 so why do it now? Unless the new chips are in a different shape/size and your block wouldn't cover them (if it's a fullcover). We'll see by the end of the month for sure though :)Quote:

Ok. Thanx Kinc :toast:Quote:

The Inquierer said that it would compete nicely with a 7950GX2, but we know how reliable they are. In any case, I think they are a little late in launching these as I can wait for R600 to arrive ~4 months after the X1900 refreshes hit. (unless they're planning to delay R600 :( )
X1950XTX 650MHz/2000MHz 512 MB 0.85ns 512bit GDDR4
R580+ core
X1950PRO 600MHz/1400MHz 256 MB 1.2ns 256bit GDDR3
R570 core
X1950XTX $449
X1950PRO $199
2006.8.23 release
anyone have more info about the X1950 PRO ??
the card will be faster than the X1800GTO for sure
how about comparing with X1800XL and 1900GT ??
Specs look right but the X1950 Pro isn't supposedly to become available until October and the price isn't yet confirmed. It's supposed to be somewhere around $199-249 though.
It's also a 12 pipe, 36 shader card, just like the X1900GT it's supposed to replace but it's clocked quite a bit higher.
unbelievable ...
its not a new cooler, ati just took the HIS iceq3 cooler and made it out of red, un-uv reactive plasticQuote:

OMG! That's just crazy awesome. Is that on STOCK clocks? Can't freaken wait.
Well the results are ok for a crossfire X1950XTX that may cost double than a 7950GX2....
As for the quad 7950GX2 well for the moment not many games know how to handle 4GPU's because of the stupid DX9 that dosen't allow 4 way AFR + the drivers that are a wreck wright know....who knows, maybe whith the next quad optimized driver nvidia will get it right...
Until then they deserve some :slapass: for not allowing users tu utilize at least 60-70% of a 1300$ quad system :fact:
P.S I'm waiting eagearly to see how well those GDDR4 chips will OC until then X1950XTX will remain a pretty cooler that dosen't deserve an upgrade from X1900XTX ;)
