Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Mark, from my understanding these vendors have made the conversion from PCI-E to AGP by adding a chip and circuit modifications. Nothing done with the GPU. It doesn't sound to me like the conversion was all that costly or difficult (an extra 20 bucks or so per unit). Bandwidth issues aside...
I'm not an expert but I have the AGP version of this card. Before I bought I read several reviews, not only of the Powercolor card but also of the X2 cooler. Do a search on the net for "Accelero X2 cooler review". There are tons of reviews. I was convinced after the 3rd or 4th article that...

I look at it this way, the X1950PRO was designed to compete with the 7900GS in PCI-E form. In most reviews I've seen, the X1950PRO is considered better (overall) than...
Newegg has the PowerColor back in stock at $239.99, or $219.99 if you factor in the $20 mail in rebate. That puts the AGP version only $20 bucks more than the PCI-E version.
I have an Antec TP II 550 with 19A on each of the two 12v rails. I didn't think I would have an issue with this PSU but now I'm starting to wonder. The card seems to be running OK with BF2 and 3dmark 06 and 05. Should I be concerned?
I just installed mine about a few hours ago and I love it. The PowerColor X1950PRO replaced a BFG 6800GT OC with an Artic Cooling 5NV Silencer. I had the AC 5NV Silencer for a year and a half and I was very happy with it, much better temps than the stock BFG cooler (another jet engine) and a...
