Article on the x1950xtx


The Radeon X1950 employs the latest memory technology of GDDR4 to deliver blazing performance. With an effective data rate of 2 GHz, the new cards are easily capable of rendering fast frame rates at high resolutions, or maximizing image quality settings for gamers running at more mainstream resolutions. Accompanying the addition of GDDR4, the Radeon X1950 also introduces a new fansink that results in cooler, quieter operation.

"The Radeon X1950 gives gamers exactly what they want - super high frame rates and the best looking games possible, with image quality features that can't be found anywhere else" said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, PC Business, ATI Technologies Inc. "With the new Radeon X1950, ATI is introducing new technology in GDDR4, setting the performance benchmark even higher with the ultimate gaming solution available today."

Why?  DX10 is right around the corner, an a few weeks for the same money you can get a very nice DX10 card that wont be obsolete.

I dont see why people are jumping all over the 7950gtx's and the x1950xtx's when they have a effective lifespan of a few weeks before they wont  be able to fuly support new stuff.

Yea what xCLoudx said....  Wait for the r600 this christmas cause the latest rumor is it'll have 64 real pipelines not just shader operations.  Granted it's just rumor but if thats true look out.  especially since the x1950xtx only has 16 pixel pipelines.
