OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Here's a video card for the gamer, engineer or artist with high standards. Using a Radeon X1950XT processor clocked at 625 MHz with 16 pixel pipelines, 256 MB GDDR3 memory, you're not talking "slow display" here!

It has dual DVI connectors (with two adapters so they can be used on VGA-style monitors as well), a VIVO port, and an integrated TV encoder putting out HDTV, or S-Video. Crossfire-ready (so make certain your power supply can handle it!), it features HDR tone mapping acceleration to map any input format to a 10 bit output. PCI Express support to keep up with that fast GPU, it's Vista ready and can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600.

The next generation of games and hi-res HDR applications is here already, so update to a card that knows how to talk to them.

NICE CARD!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This card can OC to stock X1950XTX speed easy. 650/2000mhz
But Still Only 256MB!!
Dont think any under $xxx cards can beat this one right now.
Cons: 256MB maybe cant handle most the new games at 1600x1200 Resolution with max AA + AF. For Sure cant handle 1920x1200 with MAX AA + AF.
Other Thoughts: If you using 1280x1024 Resolution or lower,
This is the very fast card for you for this price.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Extremely Fast. Overclocks well. Mine runs at XTX speeds all day long using ATItool 0.26. Highest stable frequency obtained was 730GPU/1196MEM (used aftermarket cooling). Not too shabby for the price! Runs every game I own well, especially at higher resolutions. The bigger the monitor, the more this card shines!
Cons: Provided cooling is LOUD. If you stick with the stock cooler the GPU runs a little hot at around 74C. Higher if you overclock.
Other Thoughts: Aftermarket cooling solutions will dramatically raise the overclocking potential of this card, and keep the noise down as well. All in all a GREAT value.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This gpu runs great, when it ran, and for the price range without Vista/DX10 it was a great value.
Cons: This gpu burns hot. I used it as intended, have low temps throughout my case, but it toasted itself.
Other Thoughts: Two of my buddies also bought this gpu at the same time, we've all sent them back for new ones. (at least we can always rely on newegg's great customer service). I'll never buy a Sapphire gpu after this.

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: For the cost its great!! Able to play games with High FPS. Not bad for a 256-bit direct x9 card
Cons: Funny thing. Can't raise memory past 990 on atitools or Cataylst. I thought this card can go way higher then that. And oh yeah...the fan is noisy and not very efficient.
Other Thoughts: Not bad for the price, but if you into gaming, go for a direct x10 card. Most game coming out lately are going towards that trend

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very offordable card until you can go for a better one. Nothing is using Dx10 so can tide you over.
Cons: Very, Very hot even after you manually set the fan to you're liking. My is set to max and still gets hot. Might have just been bad luck but mine doesn't oc well, becomes unstable and crasses.
Other Thoughts: Will tide me over but I have been only somewhat impressed with graphics and very much less than impressed with heating and overclocking. Even oc with third party cooling... will do for now, but will replace sooner than desirable for reasons stated
