Not sure what the overall consensus from [H]ard is about the quality of Diamond products, but I thought this news warranted some sort of discussion.

3 different news stories, all seem to be based on the same event

Diamond Multimedia's release of new ATI based cards on the x1950 model.
This seems all too normal, except the part that they are in fact releasing a x1950pro model that is apparently for AGP!?

At first I dismissed this as a typo or something but seeing 3 different websites, post similar findings made me think this worth bringing up.

Also I've heard that the x1950AGP version would retail somewhere near $200 US. Also seems somewhat hard to believe, unless this is what ATI AGP users are looking for, a decent card, that is actually worth upgrading to (Unlike the x1600's)

Anyway, what do you guys think... I dunno about Diamond cards for one... but the ability to have SM 3.0 support is kinda sweet.
Also... My thoughts are these cards are gonna need some serious power... Perhaps my 460Watt from Tisonic wont be able to cover it.
 
Wow, I'm done sorry this topic is already posted.
