X1900 ... what is known ?

Vogon · 10 Jan 2006 at 09:54

I have been out of the loop for a bit, so can anyone update me on the x1900 specs/features etc ?
Will one of these be faster than 2 X1800XT's in crossfire ?
What sort of expected retail price ?

Cheers

Its all under NDA.

lordedmond · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:17

I know one thing about the ati x1900..

its going to be expensive

LoadsaMoney · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:20

Yeah around the price of the 512mb GTX according to Gibbo.

Vogon · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:28

Hmm well TBH not too impressed at the X1800XT crossfire speed increases from reviews I have seen.
Will be interesting to see what the X1900 puts on the table.
I think the main problem now is top end CPU's are just not fast enough for current high end graphic solutions

roadie · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:46

There's only 2 weeks to wait...

lordedmond · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:48

I don't think i have had a top end card superseeded by a new card from the same manufacturer, talk about a short life span

lemonkettaz · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:48

right cheers.

im not at 90days yet anyways, i dont think.

LoadsaMoney · 10 Jan 2006 at 17:12

Id say the x1800 XT Crossfire was pretty good, considering it equals, and beats the 2x 256mb GTX's, and in some cases even beats the 2x 512mb GTX's, then yup id say thats a pretty good start, and Gibbo has already said when the RD580 chipset comes out in Feb, Crossfire will be even better, much faster than SLi.
