1950pro seems to be the best value for money now.

he wants a GPU thats capable of folding, afraid that rules the 7900 out.

take the core off and solder an E6600 on there should do the trick

it would still get owned by the X1900XT

VeNT · 19 Oct 2006 at 11:21

damnit, I'm confused now!
the x1950Pro is out tomorrow, do I wait a day and get that rather than the x1900XT?
what to do , WHAT TO DO?!

X1950 Pro is good (from all accounts) but the X1900XT is much faster. All down to pipes and shaders - the X1900XT has more of them, and can do more for each cycle of the GPU (someone stop me before I start talking twaddle...

).

Even the Tech Report review of the X1950 Pro said to get the X1900XT in preference.

rangor gubbins · 19 Oct 2006 at 11:33

get the HIS 1900Xt. If you've got a £200 budget you might as well use it. The 1900 pro is cheaper, but is also not as good. Value for money maybe, but then so is the x1900xt.
just my 2c.

gt_junkie · 19 Oct 2006 at 12:20

I agree! His X1900XT!

Just do it!!!
