B.Ob. Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 World Exclusive Preview - ATI Radeon X1950 XTX 512MB DDR4 "The end result is the R580+, which is expected to be exactly the same as the original in terms of architecture, features and specifications. However, the crucial difference performance-wise seems to banking on support for GDDR4 memory type on the new flagship product with a staggering debut clock speed of 2.0GHz DDR. Temperatures and noise output are also predicted to be lower, thanks to a newly redesigned cooler. ATI has announced the new arrivals, with both the high-end Radeon X1950 and a mid-range Radeon X1650 series slated to launch on 23rd August. Only the top model Radeon X1950 XTX will use the R580+ cores while a new Radeon X1950 Pro using a new 80mm R570 core will take over from the Radeon X1900 GT."

B.Ob. Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 The Crimson Loveboat: ATi's X1950XTX "Our testing shows that the X1950XTX is significantly faster than NVIDIA's 7950GX2 at rather common enthusiast in-game setting. This is definitely very appealing for the gamers, especially when you factor in the ability of the card to run true HDR with Anti-Aliasing compared to the 7950GX2 which can't do that, and the fact that the X1950XTX offers dual display without compromising performance while the 7950GX2 has to sacrifice dual GPU performance for dual display. Add the best performing and best looking default cooler found in the market and it really seems ATi has come up with quite a winner this time. It is rather shocking however, to discover that the card actually draws more power than a multi-GPU 7950GX2. Other than that this card seems to have almost everything going for it, even though 3D Mark performance boost is not catching up to the 7950GX2 at 650MHz Core clock. Now it's much of a question of the availability of the cards at launch, and this may be partly affected by the production quantity of the rather new GDDR4 Memory. For gaming enthusiasts, if this card really retails at the USD$399 it is slated to, this is THE loveboat as you won't be able to get the performance for that price looking at any other card than this. It seems that ATi has delivered quite an uppercut to NVIDIA with this!" there are also some pics of the card minus its cooler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
