How $200 Goes a Lot Further

Introduction

Last week we received a new budget performance card from Sapphire that might suit your appetite for higher frames per second while it takes it easy on your wallet. For close to one third to one half the cost of the high-end cards, the Radeon X1950 Pro Ultimate has the performance to satisfy the majority of gamers. We put this card up against the top performers as well as its peer, the GeForce 7950GT. As you will see from the results, both mid-range budget cards demonstrate that there is a sweet spot just under the leaders in terms of price per performance.
