Here's a video card for the gamer, engineer or artist with high standards. Using a Radeon X1900GT processor clocked at 500 MHz with 12 pixel pipelines, 256 MB GDDR3 memory; this is a lively and responsive display board.
It has two DVI connectors (with two adapters so it can be used on VGA-style monitors), and an integrated TV encoder putting out HDTV or S-Video. It supports Cross-Fire (so make certain your power supply can handle it!), VIVO, and features PCI Express support to keep up with that GPU; it's Vista ready and can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600.
The next generation of games and hi-res applications is here already, so update to a card that knows how to talk to them.

2 cards are being discussed here
- Pros: Both revisions of this card perform well, but the revision 2 is slower, and doesnt overclock well. The rev.2 is the card with the long red see-through cooler.
- Cons: Newegg is picturing and listing the specs for one card, and selling a different one in it's place. They're both "called" X1900GT's, but they are not the same card. They use a different core, they have different clockspeeds, and they look completely different.
- Other Thoughts: The user reviews for this product can be misleading, you cant always tell which card is being reviewed. Newegg has them all lumped together.
I hope Newegg fixes this, because it is decieving on their part to advertise one thing, and then give their customers something else.
- Pros: Very impressive performance, quality construction, quality all-copper HSF, comes with plenty of cables, ATI's drivers are MUCH better than in the past (AKA on par with nvidia, imo)
Great price too. ATI cards tend to perform better in the games I play anyway, eliminating the slight lead a 7900GS might have sometimes.
- Cons: Heavy, very long.. this makes it a pain to install. Won't run the absolute max settings at the absolute max resolutions on most newer games... but who needs that anyway?
ATI's linux support is hit-and-miss from what I understand. Nvidia's linux drivers are better supported, supposedly. However, this card runs XGL on Sabayon linux perfectly well.
- Other Thoughts: I upgraded my monitor from a huge 19" CRT dinosaur to a nice Samsung 20" widescreen, also from newegg. Unfortunately my x800GTO couldn't handle the massive 1650x1080 native resolution of this monitor in Oblivion and Medieval 2. It's a shame because I was incredibly happy with the performace of that inexpensive card. That thing converted me to ATI from nvidia. So I got this x1900GT, and boy do I love gaming now. This thing handles Oblivion and MTW2 at 1650x1080 just fine, but not at the max settings (Can any sub $300 card run these games at max setting at that res??? lol) My CSS framerates are pinned at 60fps with vsync on, and only rarely during heavy gungame play does it drop... I feel like I'm hacking with this massive widescreen resolution btw hahaha. BF2 is silky smooth too. I'm running an Athlon 3400+ Venice s939 @ 2600Mhz and 2.5 GB dual channel DDR400.

Good performer, but hot as H$!!
- Pros: Good performer, good price with rebate (when I ordered anyway).
- Cons: This thing runs hot when gaming and the fan is loud and not very good at cooling the card.
- Other Thoughts: If you buy this be prepared to buy an aftermarket cooler such as the EVERCOOL EC-VC-RHC which under load keeps this beast under 75
Haven't even began to touch what this card with do
- Pros: So far so good. Car runs well, drivers installed and updated from the Saphire site with no problems. Runs whatever I throw at it with ease. Haven't even been able to push it hard yet, but I bet it will take it.
- Cons: Not a DX 10
- Other Thoughts: I like the great cooling on this card. One of the better heat sinks (copper!) that I've seen. Card is BIG and HEAVY but fits very easily into my case setup (Rosewill R5601) with a Gigabyte MB and Arctic Cooling Pro 7.
Make sure you have a PS that can handle the load.
I'm looking to dual moniter this thing and push it some in the days ahead.
Great Card for the Price
- Pros: Running an E6300 at Default clocks now with 9-3-3-3 1T RAM timings I can get a score of 4491 in 3DMark 06 with the card O/C to 580-702. By default the clocks on this card for 2D and 3D are 500 and 600 although ATI Tools reads them at a little under.
With ATI Tools you can modify the GPU and Memory Voltages and O/C with this card. Not sure on x50s
It has a nice solid copper cooler that certainly adds weight to the card. Default fan speed is at 2700RPM. At this RPM at Idle it reads GPU 53C and Ambient 40. I tweak the fan with ATITOOL to run at 100% or 6100RPM all the time. This gets me GPU 47 ambiant 37 at idle and 67/44 at loads in looping 3DMark. The highest I can recall was GPU in the 70s I don't think it broke 80C at any ambient temps. This is on par with previous other Nvidia cards I have owned.
It has VIVO which is why I picked it over the X1950.xx series. This model is probably soon to discontinue. Its RED and Cheap!
- Cons: It does have the R580XL bios so a no go for unlocking any extras. Cooler type doesn't vent heat outside the case. Slight flicker during POST, fan at full speed would be too loud for most probably insufficient on 2D and speed stepping. Assume it would run rather hot under insufficient case/room temps. Those people may want to consider Thermaltake or Aerocool for noise conditions at Full output.
Needs a high end CPU to get most out of it. Catalyst Drivers are iffy. I'm more Nvidia and they seem to lead in the market right now with better product like 8800GT 320M for the Price.
- Other Thoughts: I've had this X1900GT for about 10 days now purchased on 5-22-07. Layout is the same in the picture except mine has a Ruby sticker instead of the Sapphire one. At first I thought I had a bad card due to artifacts in 3D mode. Well turns out I had to make some changes in my Motherboard BIOS and lower the O/C some now it is running fine. My results were stable however with my 6800GT AGP card. Its faster in HDR then the 68xx series. Close too 7900GS-GT
The card like another review commented, looked as if it was installed prior with screw mark etc. Maybe I received his card? So I'm weary on companies New vs. open box policies. Newegg assurres me they only ship what is given from the OEM.
