X1950 XTX

[Goody_GTI]

These cards seem to be available to pre-order at ocuk now and i must admit they do look rather tasty!

One query i have is what is the main difference with the GDDR4 they have in comparison to the usual GDDR3?

And i might just have to pre-order one of these, how do they compare to the 7950's?

They are only a few FPS faster than the X1900XT-X. Save your money and get the HIS X1900

Theres a few threads around just a few below this one that will tell you those answers:

plus there are many reviews online comparing the X1950 to the X1900's and the 7950s

Yeah get the HIS ICEQ3 x1900 XT, clock it to XTX speeds = 1-2 frames slowe than the x1950, but you saved a packet, but if you want the best then get the 7950GX2 as it creams the x1950.
