noticed this today and it said 48 pixel pipes. is this correct? i didn't find anything at the asus site that said how many pixel pipes it has.

No, must be a typo.

Typo. The X1950Pro only has 36 physical pipes.

the x1950pro has the x1950xtx core but disabled pipelines and Pixel procs. its on the card but the bios has to be flashed and they have to be enabled

Wrong. The X1950Pro is a completely unique GPU, which is created with only 36 pipes. The X1950XTX uses the R580+ GPU, which is based on a 90nm process, whereas the X1950Pro uses the RV570 GPU, which is manufactured on an 80nm process.

There is also a comparison shot on this page which shows an X1950Pro chip next to an X1950XTX chip. The differences are pretty obvious.

No, they just cut off 10nm off the GPU dummy

Wait...

So, if I get out some epoxy, and add 10mm to the GPU.. I can have an XTX WITH dongle free crossfire?

KEWL!! Where's my dremel damnit! I got some work to do!!!

Well that should work if I thought it out right
