Best bang for buck - ATi

[ChucKcasH]

As subject really. With the release of the x1950pro Ultimate I'm a little clouded as to the best bang for buck out there against the others in the range. So, what would be best per £ of the following:

X1950pro
X1950pro Ultimate
X1950XT

Cards will be going into an ASUS A8R32 MVP.

cheers folks

1950pro is the best out of that list, but you might want to consider the 1900XT 256 too.

im thinking about getting 1950pro on here for £135, how does it run games like far cry, doom 3, BF2, company of heros etc?

X1950XT overclock it to a XTX and you can throw any games at it. I bought my HIS X1950XT yesterday and should atleast reach XTX speeds. But im not allowed it till my bday . 7 days to go yay .

i play company of heroes with it at 1280x1024. on mine it runs really smooth. i have every detail set to max excpet the 2 that have an ultimate option. i have them on next setting down and there is a slider bar for character detail or something and i have that on 1 below max. dont know why but when i had it on max game dint start. wierd lol. anyway looks awesome and runs smooth

if you have a really large monitor then you may wasnt to spend a lil more maybe due to higehr res.

I can get the 1950XT for £30 more - I might just go with that. Having said that though the Ultimates are supposed to be amazing clockers.....*goes hunting for reviews

Agreed.

Id edit the above, as the x1950 XT is about £55 more than the x1950pro on here, so thats competitors pricing your mentioning which isn't allowed.

All 3 cards mentioned are great value.
If on a tighter budget the X1950Pro is a great card to get.
But if you have a little more to spend i would look at the X1950XT ....

Agreed, but it's not from a competitor - the XT is nearly new but essentialy 2nd hand. The rest are new options.
