TRIPLEX Para-souls X1950PRO

Does anyone know anything about a company called TRIPLEX?

I ordered what I thought were ATI made X1950 Pro's . . . . which look like the picture below . . .

But the boxes were from a Manufacturer I never heard of before?

TRIPLEX Para-souls X1950PRO

The boxes were sealed so I have no way of knowing if there were the sleek red X1950 Pro's in the first pic, but having looked at the TRIPLEX website there is no clue as to what the card looks like or indeed what type of cooler it uses? (some of the coolers on their range look ****).

Lol oh well I just RMA'ed them back!

Hurray! finally got enough cash to buy myself a decent midrange card, been struggling with a nVidia 6600LE 256MB for the past few months so obviously any upgrade was gonna be a massive improvement!

As I already owned the X1950 Pro I felt I could get something a 'little' better so went with one of these:


£140

I still think the X1950 Pro is a good card for people with a budget less than £100 but if your looking for something that can handle higher res then the 512MB Powercolour card offers great value, almost £100 cheaper than an nVidia 8800GTS 640MB (which I wanted of course but I can't afford one!).

Just playing through Doom 3 for the first time, everything maxed at 1600x1200 (inc 4xAA) and I'm getting a smooth 71.2 FPS. I just learnt how to set it up for play at 1920x1200 and with everything maxed (4xAA) its still a playable 61.0 FPS

Amazing Visuals and a dam scary game lol!

OCUK own brand X1950PRO

Hi, I would also be interested to know what card you get. I ordered a similarly priced one from a competitor and got these.

Let us know what you get ta!

Hi, the OCUK own brand card is that Triplex one that you had.

Thanks for the heads up. Anychance you could post a picture of what the card looks like please? I'm interested to see the cooler as the ones shown on the Triplex site look a bit whacky . . .

Or does it have the slim and sleek red plastic one?

Iv got a pro and it runs bf2 maxed out fine

I guess it depends what resolution you game at.

Bump!
