hey guys,
im building a CPU for my friend and he's a high end gamer and wants a great / top of the line graphics card for his pc. he's looking between the 100- 200 dollar price range and wants a 16x pci express one... doesnt matter what brand or anything but has to be really great / top of the line for high end gaming... thanks and leave links if their on newegg or tigerdirect
Codename: RV570, 90-nanometer technology
36 Pixel shaders, Eight Vertex shaders, 12 Texture units, 12 Raster Operator Units
256 bit external memory bus (512-bit internal ring bus)
575 MHz core, 690-MHz DDR (1280 MHz effective) Memory
The X1950 PRO is similar to the X1900 GT, the main difference being that it is not based on the X1900 XT, but a whole new and less power-hungry core.
The card's main competition is the 7900 GS, which it soundly beats in almost every benchmark.
I have already seen brand-new X1950 PROs for as little as $165 on Newegg. At that price this card is an absolutely incredible deal.
Best PCI-E Card For ~$250: None
I agree with Labbby here if I was gonna spend around 200 on a card right now I would chose the 1950 hands down (even if ATI did make a deal with the devil.... but hey it must have been a good deal ! lol)
