DIAMOND Viper Radeon X1950PRO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card X1950PRO256PCIE

Pros: Very good card for price range. got mine at Cir**t C**ty. haven't really tried to overclock or benching it yet. I installed one of the 2 ZALMAN VF900 I ordered onto it but left the backplate from the stock cooling. It fitted perfectly, better than leaving one side unprotected. Will recieve a Diamond card to crossfire them. It's a bugdet to midrange GPU but most of the time these are the hardware that are the most fun to play with.

Cons: Just one. It's the fan connection. The ZALMAN VF900 has a different fan connector than the x1950pro. I pulled the cap off of the GPU 3pin fan connector whick allowed me to then plug in the ZALMAN VF900. But the ZALMAN VF900 fan just wouldn't work. No biggie, I got 7 fan connections on my Crosshair.

Overall Review: xxx for this card is a sweet deal. Go big or go for this.

Pros: I used this in a pc I built for work. Not much gaming going on (never know who reads this...) so I was just looking for a cost effective system. However, once I overclocked this card it performed pretty well, scored slightly lower than an XPS with dual cards, so I'm not complaing. Excellent bang for the buck.

Cons: There are better cards, but not for the money. Becomes unstable if drastically overclocked. The fan, despite it's small size is the noisest fan in my case. It's loider than the huge zalman on my E6700 and all of my Antec case fans combined. Again, you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: Overall pleased with it. It handles any game I throw at it under max resolution. Still, if I would have been buying it for myself, I would have stepped down from an E6700 to an E6600 and bought a much better card.

Pros: Works. Fast. Single slot.

Cons: Diamond documentation consists of a couple of pages photocopied together. IT IS NO VIVO.

Overall Review: It is AVIVO as all X1K cards are, but it is NOT VIVO. Rather irritating.

Pros: works great runs eq2 very well. I can run high performance with no probs.

Cons: The cd with drivers wouldnt instal but got those from website

Overall Review: Good card for the money

Pros: Its fast, quiet, and it works.

Cons: After about a week I started to get some glitches in games mostly (Warcraft3). It got really choppy, but setting graphics to 16 bit and closing all of my applications fixed that problem. =/ wish I could play at 32bit. Also it is big and I have to take out this beast before I can remove my ram and CPU heatsink. It also increased my MB and CPU temp at least 10c even at idle.

Overall Review: Does it's job.

Pros: Great Card for the price. I game at 1280x1024 and can run any current game at max settings with AA and AF enabled and get awesome framerates. COD2 Quake 4 COH FEAR u name it.

Cons: I dunno maybe that it doesn't overclock well, but then again non of the x1950pros do. Also doesn't have a temp probe, or I cant activate it.

Overall Review: Im running x2 4200, 2 gigs ram, 550w psu and this x1950pro. About the overclocking i already read some threads about people getting their x1950pros to 600/800 with some chages in oc software.

Pros: Very good card. Excellent performance jump from my previous Raedon 9800 Pro! Installation was quick and easy. No problems whatsoever.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I bought this card to increase my FPS in Flight Simulator X. It helped a lot, but I'm still going to need to upgrade my AMD 64 3200+ to be able to max out the settings.

Pros: Read other thoughts.

Cons: Read other thoughts.

Overall Review: I had to comment on JustMe's review. "The fan, despite it's small size is the noisest fan in my case. It's loider than the huge zalman on my E6700 and all of my Antec case fans combined." Small fans are always louder than the big ones. Reason being is that the smaller the fan, the higher the RPM's which in turn makes the fan loud. The larger the fan, the slower the RPM's. Thus making them more silent. Anyways, I hope this helps.
