ATI has proven they are a leader and not a follower with the X1950 XTX. ATI has released the world’s first consumer 3D graphics card with GDDR4 memory clocked at the highest ever stock speed that chews through games when it comes to high definition gaming. Memory bandwidth looks to one again be the defining factor in 3D performance. With a re-designed heatsink/fan unit, faster memory, and lowered price, the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX and CrossFire Edition are both serious 3D gaming video cards for the [H]ardcore that offer some value over NVIDIA’s more expensive 7950 GX2. ATI’s CrossFire dual GPU gaming platform looks to have just grown up.

[H] Enthusiast - ATI Radeon X1950 XTX / CrossFire Evaluation

HardwareZone has one as well

Given the excellent cooler, one could probably overclock the core to the level of the HIS Radeon X1900 XTX IceQ3 and then perhaps we will find a more convincing score, but we'll reserve our overclocking conclusion for a later date. There is also the consideration to take that the improved memory performance and bandwidth will probably be much more of a boost when the Radeon X1950 XTX is used in a CrossFire configuration and with ATI pushing their triple card setup for GPU physics, it is too early to write off the benefits of GDDR4.

The good news is that just like AMD, ATI seems to be competing more on price now. Initial rumors put the X1950 XTX at a US$399 price, which was a little over-deflated. As the launch of the card approaches, ATI has confirmed that the actual price tag would be around US$449, which thankfully still puts the X9150 XTX in direct competition against the GeForce 7900 GTX. With NVIDIA's dual GPU GeForce 7950 GX2 not really threatened by the newcomer performance-wise, the Radeon X1950 XTX is probably banking on taking down its single core rival with a superior price/performance ratio. In the end, consumers should be the ones rubbing their hands in glee but they will still have to wait till September 14th before these cards are available in retail.
