ATI X1900X - AGP or PCI Express?

[pointy shadow]

Hi all.

I am getting an ATI X1900X for free off of my cousin but he doesnt know if its AGP or PCI-E or what size it is as he is abroad at the moment.

Anyone here care to elaborate the specs of the above card for me please?

x1900's are PCI-E, it could either be 256mb, or 512mb Ram.

Specs:-

Connect3D Radeon X1900 XT - graphics adapter - Radeon X1900 XT - 512 MB
Device Type: Graphics adapter
Enclosure Type: Plug-in card
Interface Type: PCI Express x16
Graphics Processor / Vendor: ATI Radeon X1900 XT
Core Clock Speed: 625 MHz
Memory clock Speed: 1450 MHz
API Supported: DirectX 9.0, OpenGL 2.0
Video Memory Installed ( Max ): 512 MB - GDDR3 SDRAM
Video Input: Video capture adapter
Video Output: 2560 x 1600
Max Monitors Supported: 2
TV Interface: HDTV out / video in
Pixel shaders 48x

Theres also an XT-X version which is the same as above (but only has 512mb Ram), but slightly faster as it has a 650mhz Core, and 1550mhz memory.

Theres also a slower GT (which has only got 256mb Ram), which is slower than both above (core/memory), and only has 36x pixel shaders instead of 48x.

Thanks for the info

Looks like its a new mobo/power supply for me then.

Im gonna ask a daft question as I dont play any games apart from Tiger Woods but will this card run the new games that are out specifically either driving games or platform games as I am not into 1st person shooters where I believe the graphics are pretty GPU intensive.

It will run every game that is released without a problem.
Its still a high end card.

Yeah x1900 will cut through everything for a good while yet.

Thanks for your replies lads.

By all accounts it seems a pretty good card to get nevermind getting it for free!

Been using shared my mobos 64mb shared graphics so hopefully this will make an improvement to the gameplay of Tiger 07
