X1900XT or X1950XTX ???

Should I get the Connect3D x1900xt for 289 with XP Home (40 dollars combo savings)

Or wait a couple of weeks and get the x1950xtx.

I don't think that the performance increase is all that great, really what I care about is the noise level, will the connect3d be bearable?

The launch date has been pushed bat to 14 september.

I was also thinking about getting the X1900XTX too but decided to wait for the X1950XTX even if it is $100+ more.

What sources do you have for the date? Xtremesystems.org, or someone else?

i just saw a chart, which makes the HIS x1900xt look like a waste (although it was for the x1900xtx's (found on anandtech.com)

Graphics Card dbl level

PowerColor X1900 XT 52.0
Sapphire X1900 XT 49.6
Sapphire X1900 XTX 50.2
GeCube X1900 XTX 51.4
HIS X1900 XTX 49.5

yeah.. how stupid of me.. i should have thought that

does anyone know the decible level of the x1900xt with IceQ3

I personnaly bought a X1900XT (but they shipped me an XTX) because I'm planning to buy a high-end DX10 card in a year or in a year in a half...

X1900XT is more than enough for every games except if you play in high resolution (21''+)...

I'm using a 19'' ViewSonic VX922 so my X1900XTX works tremendously well.

The only difference between the x1900 xt and the x1950 xtx would be that the x1950 xtx has 2.0ghz GDDR4 memory.So performance increase will be there but not by a lot.The core clocks are identical for a x1950 xtx and a x1900 xt.
but the ggdr4 memory at 2 ghz consumes less power than gddr3 at 1300-1500.
And rumours are ATI will be pricing the x1950 aggressively with release prices starting @$400.

This forum should be dead. I purchased the HIS x1900xt, because of the pushbacked date of the release of the x1950xtx.

First of all I wouldn't trust Anandtech.



Why not? dont just say things like this without providing facts

NO.. it was a plain error on my part

That is the regular stock HIS x1900xt.. not the HIS x1900xt IceQ3

The IceQ3 is the one I got, but im still not sure how much quieter it is... anyone have an article?

Well even so it should still be a lot quiter than the stock fan since its an alternative cooling solution. The noise by far is the biggest complaint people have with the stock cooling unit.

what he is saying is that it IS the stock fan, not the alternative IceQ 3 version...

I have, many times before, perhaps you should do your own reasearch.

Mighta helped you avoid many easy mistakes like Anand makes rushing to post, perhaps avoid one like this;

Well damn, like I said reference ATi cooler, no different than the rest. IceQ3 is the different cooler which I thought you'd know by now with all your talk about it in the other thread.

haha lol, noob alert, noob alert.

i have bore witness to apes examples in a few other threads concerning anands bias and dodgy reviewing. don't get me wrong im sure toms does the same on occasion but to say you, lol you have owned anyone's ass is a joke TBH.

Yeah thats really proving your point to me about anandtech give the facts or shut up.

I gave the facts, like I did in this thread. Who the faq are you other than some whiney little boy who can't figure out the difference between stock and specialized cooler, you screwed up, so you STFU!

I CAN do it now, but don't NEED to do it now, as Stranger pointed out I've done it before, so YOU do YOUR own research because it's apparent you can't do it for yourself, and me having to point things out to you shows you're really st00pid. GO find it yourself with your so called 1337 skillz, or can't you do even that, only thing you seem to be able to do is be contrary, with nothing to add.

You haven't owned anything, and the fact that you falsley think that shows even clearer you don't know WTF is going on, making more BS statements like your one above.

In this thread you've be pwnt and rolld n00b!

Dude serisously just STFU already you dumb little immature bitch. You have given no facts whatsoever about anything you have talked about other than your own stupid fukin biased opinions that are not worth a shit.
You and Strangstranger and the rest of your little dumb fuk fan club can have fun sucking each other off and butt fuking each other everytime you get half the chance.


Seriously if I ever get the chance to meet any of you in person I will beat the fuking living shit out of each and every one of you.

You're the one talking about owning A$$ (not surprised you're obsessed with A$$) and bringing over your petty antics from another thread where you ALSO got 'owned';

Once again yuo're projecting. I provided solid backed facts in this thread, complete with multiple reviews supporting those statements when calmly questioned by the OP, you on the other hand decided to bring your insecurities from the other thread into this thread. I leave grudges in the thread they are in and wouldn't bother you in other threads unless provoked, which is exactly what you did here, which is childish and detracts from the OP's post, research and the forum in general.

Once again very lame, and just proves what a hot head you are, as for your threats they're as unimpressive and baseless as everything else you've written.
