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 people with problems are posting, while others are not posting because there happily using their cards problem-free...)
If you're anything like me, you've read up on all you could find regarding the X1950PRO agp cards (ie., 256mb or 512mb?, which brand?, adequate cooling?, will my PSU run it?). I've come to the conclusion (like some of you) that the Sapphire 512mb agp card seems to be the best bang for the buck - however, it also seems that these cards are causing folks problems - anywhere from not booting to weird artifacting.
[Edit: Any X-1950PRO AGP user is invited to post in this thread - just please specify your model. Thanks.]
So, I'd really appreciate only those who've bought and installed the Sapphire X1950PRO 512MB AGP card to post whether or not you're having good experiences with it. And if you've had problems - what are they and have you been able to rectify it. Please.
Thanks.
Also, I do not have one yet but I expect it to arrive once ExcaliberPC sends it...
