Here's a video card for the gamer, engineer or artist with high standards. Using a Radeon X1950Pro processor clocked at 600 MHz with 12 pixel pipelines, 256 MB GDDR3 memory, you're not talking "slow display" here!
It has dual DVI connectors (with an adapter so they can be used on VGA-style monitors as well), a VIVO port, and an integrated TV encoder putting out HDTV, S-Video or Composite Video. Crossfire-ready (so make certain your power supply can handle it!), it features HDR (High Dynamic Range) for ever more realistic lighting and display effects. 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.
