You get a converter or two in the box usually.

So would a sapphire x1950pro be a good upgrade from a x850xt ?

Yes, would be huge boost in peformance, and id advise you get some new pants ready.

I went from an x800 XT PE to an x1800 XT 512mb, and was totally blown away, the increase in performance is incredible, and the x1950pro at that price is an absolute steal.

Cyber-Mav · 7 Nov 2006 at 11:43

yea its around twice as fast.

Errol · 7 Nov 2006 at 11:49

I'm looking for a card that could run MTWII a bit better so I guess an x1950pro would fit the bill.

Cyber-Mav · 7 Nov 2006 at 11:54

rippling do you have a picture of the x1950pro you have? im trying to work out if the stock x1900xt cooler will fit the x1950pro?

Well it depends heaily on what games you play.

If for example you only play CS:S or HL2 then the upgrade is pointless as the X850XT chews through it easily.

If however you play a much more varied level of games then the X1950 pro would be an excellent upgrade.

i doubt the x850xt "chews" through hl2 with hdr at a rez of 1600x1200 with 16xAF and 8xAA.

the x1950pro is the better card. or are you saying there is no difference between them :confused:

Why take it to the extreme end of the scale?! I just said it could chew through it.

Judging from here (HL2)

http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/176/10/

The X850XT is still managing 69FPS at 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 8xAF.

I would call that chewing through the game perfectly fine.

Of course the X1950 pro is better (I never said it wasn't).

I was merely stating that if the only games played were sourced based apps then the X850XT is still more than capable.

charltonfan1 · 7 Nov 2006 at 12:45

for referance my X850XT chews through HL2 at max settings, can't do true HDR though

LoadsaMoney · 7 Nov 2006 at 13:37

x850's can do HDR in HL2.

Errol · 7 Nov 2006 at 13:38

I'm thinking more of BF2142 and MTWII. Both games can't be run on full on an x850xt.

oh, thought they couldn't do it properly cos they they dont have SM3.0 or something. ah well, you got my point !

Source HDR doesn't use SM3.0 though.

I get 5039 with a x1900gt (256mb), is that any good ? It puts me at last on th orb thing but from reviews Ive read im a 1000 points up from what they benched my card at ?

Errol · 8 Nov 2006 at 17:54

If I'm coming from an x850xt (with dual slot, cooler etc) will the sapphire single slot 1950pro cause cooling problems ?
