    Where'd all the x1950gt agp's go?

    Well folks it arrived today...and...it's working! Speed is up, but not as much as I was hoping for - which is not all bad since I was fairly impressed with the speed of my former X800XT agp. At least I have access to shader 3 games now. Thanks for all the help.

    Where'd all the x1950gt agp's go?

    Well fellows thanks for the encouraging comments. I'm looking forward to trying it out when it arrives this Mon - with my current psu. I'll let you know how it goes. Oh, also, I just downloaded the cat 7.10's. Hey, since I'd rather use ATI tray tools, is it ok to skip the CCC part of the...

    Where'd all the x1950gt agp's go?

    Thanks HJ, I have always appreciated your thoughtful responses. My only concern is: a few months ago I did try out a 1950PRO in my current system (as mentioned earlier) and it did not even boot. (Fortunately Newegg gave me a full refund on that PRO). So now that this GT is on the way, I'm...

    Where'd all the x1950gt agp's go?

    It does indeed reconfirm my decision, but it also leads me to a few questions (actually your post doesn't lead me, other things I've read do)... here are my specs: Asus K8N-e Dlx AMD 3400+ @ 2.5Ghz (socket 754) 2GB Kingston DDR ATI X800XT (of course to be replaced with the GT) 2 160GB...

    Where'd all the x1950gt agp's go?

    I've been putting off buying this highly-praised AGP upgrade for some time, but now when I finally decide to get it...it's nowhere to be found. Newegg removed it from their site and all of the other reputable sellers show it as out-of-stock. Anyone know of decent place that has one. Or...

    Are you having troubles with your Sapphire X1950PRO 512MB AGP?

    True, he could get the aftermarket cooler - but he probably won't want to keep his Sapphire as it most likely fried as he stated before.

    Catalyst 7.1 out

    What issue are you having? You know AA works in BF2 if you create a profile for it in ATI Tray Tools: set to "App Pref" for both AA & AF and set CatAI to low.

    Are you having troubles with your Sapphire X1950PRO 512MB AGP?

    The only thing I can answer of your questions is: yes, the Catalyst drivers always flicker the screen to black after the reboot following install. Prior to this flicker, the 2D display will be slow, after the flicker things are back up to full speed.

    Are you having troubles with your Sapphire X1950PRO 512MB AGP?

    Maybe this was a card someone RMA'd back to them - but not before trying to cool it better by applying a heatsink on the back. I do not think that the back side is supposed to have any additional cooling. See the newegg pics - they show both sides of the card I think. Let us know how it goes...

    Are you having troubles with your Sapphire X1950PRO 512MB AGP?

    Wow. I've cancelled my order from ExcaliberPC. It looks like Sapphire needs to start working on "edition 2.0"...

    Are you having troubles with your Sapphire X1950PRO 512MB AGP?

    I'd like to get a consensus here. This is not another "how do you like the X1950PRO agp" thread. Clearly everyone knows these things are selling like hotcakes. This thread is to weed out the prob-post-phenom (that is: the tendancy for it to seem like there's lots of problems because only...

    Places to buy X1950pro AGP

    I'm hoping it's not a quality issue also - as I am expecting one to arrive at my house soon. But it seems I've been seeing more X1950PRO problem threads lately. Usually it goes like this, "I luv the card - but, hey now I'm having weird problems..." or "I'm having problems and can't even get...

    Places to buy X1950pro AGP

    Yeah, I placed an order with excaliberpc also... This just plain stinks - I had been waiting for ZZF to get more in for so long that I finally broke down and made the order with Excal. I did research on them at resellerratings.com and everyone seemed to like them - but now, everyone has the...

    Places to buy X1950pro AGP

    They've got pics up now. It seems it has a bluish PCB with what looks like an "aluminum" heat spreader. hmmm.
