x1950 review

[robg1701]

Sounds expensive to me for a card rumoured to be at $399 MSRP.

$1.9:1GBP exchange gets us £335 (285+vat)?

eh ?

 

[robg1701]

depends on the game doesnt it? i thought if the profile is not avaliable even a x1900xt would beat a gx2. possibly a x1800? lol

Yes, but this applied to like every game they tested, very popular and defiantely supported ones lol...

 

[Meatball]

YES I GET MY GCSE RESULTS AROUND THAT DAY
COULD THERE BE BETTER TIMING!!!!!!
Thanks gibbo

A 485w enermax noisetaker can take this right?

You'll be getting an X950XTX? Jealous! My parents are going for a 7900GT (thinking of an X1900GT now though). Of topic soz but 24th August? good luck

Aye, and keep in mind those benchmarks are also in 1600x1200. Hardly the 7950GX2s home turf, as it's meant for silly high resolution ideally.

HI there

Plus OcUK well be selling for approx £285ish +VAT quite a good price for ATI's latest top of the line product. X1900 XTX will disapear and X1900 XT 512 will remain at current prices of £175-£200+VAT, absolute bargains when you consider how fast the damn things are.

Damn and i thought it would translate to a retail price aroudn the £285 mark.

That HIS X1900XT that was on offer last week seemed lie the bargin of the moment.

Hmmm neither link seems to work for me.

 

[Psypher5]

is there an x1950xt, or is it just an xtx?

 

[KizZ]

OMG looks over performance

 

[FreeStream]

Ooh ummn!


Bro needs a gfx card he has my X1900 atm.

Sold tbqfh!

Ill be having one late sept

Unless nvidia do something awsome, but it will have to really kick ass as nvidia have disappointed me, and the 7900 problems arn't helping

gonna wait for the power consumption figures and reliability results to pour in first. and with dx10 on the way not sure if this card is what i will be going for.

There will be an X1950XT too which will be 256MB as opposed to 512MB, and according to Gibbo will not be far behind at all performance-wise, and will also cost only £275. Might be my next upgrade.

So its the x1950xtx 512mb that will be coming out around the 23rd of August costing £285+vat (£335)?

And then the x1900xt 256mb version comes out later?

Im guessing thats £275, not £275+vat (£323), otherwise everyone will pay £10 more and get the x1950xtx

According to the above links its 20/30W more than the XT-X at load and slightly less at idle.

Reliability should be the same as a X1900

Thats awsome! Launch prices too, so 3/4 weeks after should be under £300 inc VAT (not that I pay it )

Some great prices you got there.
