X1950XT AGP hits Newegg

I so want that card, since it has Dual DVI ports.
 
512 megs o' mem0ry and I'll make this happen as the last upgrade for my agp machine.
 
It uses a combo TEC/Heatpipe cooler with dual fans and is suppose to be very overclockable.

I would have liked 512mb one too as long as it was still DDR3. The trouble with most cards with both versions is they use slower memory for the 512mb ones.
 
Holy crap two 120mm fans on a video card? LOL. Might as well hook up your rad there while your at it :D
 
Would it be worth while trying to return my x1950PRO for this?? Only $40 difference!
 
I just kinda find it funny that the newest "HIGH-END AGP" vid cards are using the 6 pin "PCI-E" connector... :p

These cards are designed on PCI-E boards, almost identical really.

Sapphire did put a 4pin molex connector on their x1950PRO

Looks like there is a minor difference at huge resolutions, but not too much of a difference. The switch would end up costing about $65 and I wouldn't have a video card for about a week or two. I think I'll skip the hasstle. I knew I should have waited to buy this card...oh well
 
I think that heat sink is incredulous... No chip needs that. Not even a "ATP 35000xhg edition itk wGTS X550032NH J8800 unreal cocktastic ludicrous speed enabled OCG UI indescribable dung bettle special addiction" named card such as that.

CPUs do not need such extensive coolers either, but some people would like then to run as cool as possible both prolonging the life of their investment and adding to the overclockability. When you stop and think that some people water cool there CPU and GPUs, I don't think it's all that overkill.

Well, I agree to that but that heatsink/fan is not really all that well made, it's kinda like making something big just to make it big. A similarly sized fan that actually pushes the air out the back of the computer would be worthwhile but that, that's just made to heat up your case for little reason.
 
The GeCube bumf suggests that the card can be made to run quiet because of the cooler it has. I seem to recall reading that the X1900 series sounds like a hairdryer.
 
My goodness.... Who needs such a huge cooling system when you can just rent out a meet locker and your local butcher shop. :p
 
It's not twin 120mm fans, looks too be more like 80mm fans. The setup looks much bigger in the pictures than it does in person.

Aside from the source, AGP bridge chip confirmed to be compatible with R600/RV610/RV630.


Hmmm, very interesting. ;)

"It seems that the gamer's computer of early the 2000s, a combination of Athlon XP 2500+ (@2.2-2.5 GHz) on an nForce2 motherboard (such as Abit NF7-S) will continue to run in 2007 as well. µ"

How did they know what I am still running?!:rolleyes::mad::rolleyes:

That makes two of us, 'cept I've got a 6800GT, so a sweet vid upgrade would sure taste good....
 
is there any point in upgrading from a X800 to a x1950XT , and what's the difference between the XT and Pro? and benchmarks available?

I did some quick 3DMark comparisons between the X1950XT and the Pro's. See this Post and Thread.....

I came to the same conclusion as yourself. If you already have a Pro, I'd stay with it.

Honestjohn, sorry if you've already covered this, but what are your impressions of:

1. Noise level of the cooling between the Pro and XT.

2. Stability/likelihood of failure on the VRMs/caps of the XT vs. the Pro.

No problem Commander S

1. My case is pretty noisy to begin with, but as far as the noise level goes, I would say it's less. Although on my X1950 Pro's I normally ran the Fans at 100% using ATI Tray Tools. In all honesty, I'm probably the wrong person to answer this question.

2. This card is really a different beast than the X1950 Pro's and I really don't see the VRM's being an issue with the XT. Hell, they don't even have any ramsinks/heatsinks on the memory and I was still able to overclock the card without issue.
 
Did this post get moved from the Video Card forum to the ATI flavor forum? Kind of confused me for a bit. :confused:

Still waiting on Newegg to send my X1950XT replacement. They got the old card back yesterday morning, but my status still shows it at step1 (waiting on card). Sent them an e-mail after work last night and they told me sometimes it takes a couple days to work it through the system. Still showing as the same tonight. I was hoping to have it back this week. :(
 
LOL!

So for the cost of a single card you could upgrade your whole system to PCI-Express? Reeeeaally good deal there.
 
Gigabyte 8KNXP MB, P4-3.4EE, 3 GB DDR Ram at 2-3-3-6, Radeon 9800pro.

Now, upgrade my MB, RAM, CPU and Video Card versus just the Video Card with an already decent system. I think the later is more cost effective and the system is still pretty fast. Sure I could get the latest and greatest C2D, but then cost would escalate even higher.

Really?...that I would like proof of.....considering most decent PCIe cards are only a few dollars less....and then you need a motherboard at minimum....Who sells decent motherboards for a few dollars?

Please don't feed the Trolls. If you ignore them, they'll just slink back off under the bridge they crawled out from .........hopefully

I also just ordered a new SATA 500GB hard drive and some new Kingston HyperX DDR for my old AGP based system. Had some spare Birthday Cash but what was I thinking spending all that money on my old AGP Rig. Hummm, let's see. I know, it's my rig and I will upgrade it until I choose to get rid of it.
