VR-ZONE review of X1950XTX

[largon]

Much worse performance / clk than X1900XTX? Would the higher memory latency be enough to make such a difference?

X1900XT prices went <300€, thanks to X1950. Mmmm... I think it's time to upgrade my 9-year old ATi 3D Rage II+DVD w/ 4MB SDRAM @ PCI.
(I think E6400 would be somewhat bottlenecked w/ an upgrade)

ok forget the game benchmark numbers for the time being, I got flamed pretty bad all around by readers, I gotta figure out what went wrong with my 7950GX2 runs.

Since the date i can publish the review is pushed back quite a bit so i'll redo it and redo the setup.

the rest is still pretty relevant though

who is your "contact"?
it seems like the x1950xtx is better than the HIS x1900xtx by alittle
does any1 have a actual msrp price of the x1950xtx

Don't quote me on it but I think its $450. I'm going to sell my x1900xtx try to get atleast 350 for it, i don't mind spending $50 for a 1950, im prety confident it will be less then $400 through the ati accommodation i get through my work. I found out shortly after I spent $575.00 on my xtx, that I could have gotten it for $329.00 through ati's accommodation.

Wow...launch delay ?! Thats unexpected.

Hard to believe $399 Shamino...at least for retail...considering this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ice=&maxPrice= (Only 2 out of all are under $399.

Damn, later? Any reason why? That could seriously hurt sales as that makes the cards release that much closer to the R600 release, leaving the X1950 with a very short life span, about as long lived as the X1800 cards.

[DilTech]

Sounds like they're trying to clear stock of the x1900xt's and xtx's first.

Either that, or they've fallen into the world that NVidia was in with the 7800GTX 512mb... The memory shortage world. It's a curse that almost always happens when a card uses bleeding edge new ram first, especially if the other company is stockpiling it already for their next card.

It's probably the same reason we haven't heard a release date beyond "september - october" for the G80. GDDR4 is still rather new.

I used to think for the longest time that it meant Quite F*cking True.

Perhaps it can as well? Who is to say what acronym actually means what? Who comes up with this stuff and claims what it will mean?

ive been counting pennies.

hahahahahaah. Coming from the one person on this planet, that is well and truely full of horse .

Gibbo from the OCUK forums???????? LMAO

people on there believe everything he says. He could say plant an oak Tree in your garden and it will grow Conroe CPU's and people would believe him.

Take with a pinch of salt.

O i know the stuff he comes out with, but he's normally pretty accurate with his pricing close to launch, as lying to customers on the forum, getting their hopes up, would certainly be bad for his business.

But i rofl'd @ when he said that OcUK were getting 90% of the UK allocation of 1950XTX's, now that is a load of

ya... but with all the other stuff that most people really want, they usually are delayed
wow! the x1900xtx dropped in price?
two weeks ago, i was thinking about getting a x1900xt for 420$ LOL

[DCR]

If this new card truly releases at $399 USD, and there are cards in hand for sale, this is going to be an awesome time to be in the market for a new card.

First, the AMD vs. Intel price war, and now this...I don't know if my wallet can keep up.

[JollyTime]

Latest news i got is that launch's put back from 24th aug to 14th sept
price i double checked still supposed to be 399

Got any sort of confirmation on the date yet?

Luckily I read your posts here like 5 minutes before my rig was getting shipped from my retailer, so I quickly called and cancelled my X1900XTX. Now the only question is how long I'm gonna have to wait for the 1950? It's gonna be quite sad having $3000 worth of hardware standing without a graphics card

Yes very cheap, the 7800GTX and 512mb GTX both launched between 400-550 pounds....do I need to say more?
