Sapphire takes aim at mainstream gamers with their Radeon X1950Pro card. This reasonably priced card has enthusiast class features like a 256bit wide bus to the 256MB of GDDR3 memory and acceleration of multiple formats including MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and WMV9. The 36 pixel pipes and 8 vertex shader processors provide stunning detail to every frame.

Native CrossFire support makes adding a second card easy, since it doesn’t require slave or master hardware. The 24-bit connection enables high resolutions and refresh rates on a broad range of Intel and AMD platforms.

The Avivo video and display engine has dual independent controllers with 30 bits per pixel support throughout the display pipe for maximum color accuracy. Each interface supports resolutions to 2560x1600 and beyond so you can use the card well into the future. In addition to the advanced DVI ports, there's also a component video output to directly drive HDTV displays.

Great...

Reviewed By: Swil on 11/2/2006

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Great XFIRE card with ATi's new technology so you no longer need master/slave cards. Fan is a little loud but can be replaced for about xx$ if it bugs you that much.

Cons: Stock fan is a little loud when gaming.

Other Thoughts: Ignore that nVidia fanboy who posted below. This card is good, check out some reviews.

145 FPS on Counter-Strike: Source!

Reviewed By: JayHub on 2/7/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I run Windows Vista Ultimate, and using the Counter-Strike: Source stress test I came up with an amazing 145 FPS! I had the settings all the way up and I ran at a 1440x900 Resolution.

Cons: I had to RMA the first one, but now all is forgiven.

Other Thoughts: I wish I bought it now, because it comes with a free game. It was Guild Wars: Nightfall now its Rainbow Six. Also it runs Company of Heroes fine and gets a 5.8 score on Vista.

Great card for what I paid.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This card for the price gives you a lot of kick. I was able to play Battlefield 2142, Rainbow Six: Vegas, and Unreal Tournament III on full graphics with no problems.

Cons: My card died after a while, but then again I didn't expect it to last forever. For $135 dollars expect the possibility, but regardless of that it's done really well.

Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a great card for not a lot of money, this card would be (in my opinion) your best choice.

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Installed without a hitch. Runs hotter than my stock card but the fan keeps up. Replacement for a X1350Pro and the difference is incredible and I can run most games on highest setting. World in Conflict stutters but that was expected and of course Crysis runs at about mid settings. Runs without problems with a stock Dell power supply but calls for 450W on box.

Cons: None at this point. It does run hot and I had some problems in Vista with the driver software interfering with Steam but got that straightened out. If anything involving Steam pops up during installation just hit cancel and continue.

Other Thoughts: For the price I'm very happy and until the day I want to build my own computer I'll always stick with these types of cards...Cheap and just enough power to make me smile knowing that I didn't spend many hundreds of dollars on a video card.
