[cravenn]

Tviler på at jeg kommer til å kjøpe denne da jeg nettopp har kjøpt ny PC, men det ser riktig bra ut

[bOMS]

jeg har bare skummet testene det refereres til, men det virker som om crossfire skalerer bedre enn på andre ATI kort, men kan være at jeg burde ha tittet en gang til.

 

Ellers er det sikkert ett fint kort, hvor de har lært å bli langt mer effektive.

[leifeinar]

synest det ser ut til og yte veldi bra.... 11K i 3d mark for 200 dollar

 

 

noen som finner noe konkret om strømmforbruk. alltså kun kort, ikke system load

 

 

ble litt ivrig her.... ser for meg en conroe shuttle her, med en lett over klokka E6700 og 2 slike kort i cf. det hadde blitt en fin maskin.

 

allt etter hvor jeg ser er max power consumption i CF mellom 260 og 300W på hele systemet

yter sikkert bedre i CrossFire fordi den har intern Crossfire-Kobling akkurat som SLI. Men i motsetning til SLI kan CrossFire sende og motta data samtidig

 

EDIT: la til send/recieve

Betyr det at du ikke trenger et "Master"- kort?

Det der så veldig bra ut. X1900XT ytelse vil gjøre det til en konkurrent mot 7950GT, og 7900GS. Den kjøleren ser ut som det beste som er laget av skjermkortkjølere på lenge. 1 slot, og maksimal størrelse likevel.

Med en pris på ca. 1900 kr vil det være ett godt kjøp.

(Må komme under prisen på 7900GTO, som også er ett fantastisk bra kjøp)

[efikkan]

Nok en gang, dette er skjermkort i nedre toppklasse, ikke middelklasse.

 

Det er bra at konkurransen mellom ATI og nVidia presser prisene nedover og nye versjoner på markedet.

[eXa]

skjønner ikke hvordan dette kan yte som ett x1900xt? er det ikke samme kjernen bare krympet? (90nm vs 80nm) Og når den i tillegg har færre pixel shadere og lavere klokkehastighet

 

X1900GT med ddr4 ram trodde jeg dette var...?

Det er vel kanskje noe svakere enn X1900GT. Forhåpentligvis er varmeutviklingen lav.

ATI brings enthusiast-class features and performance to the mid-range with the new Radeon® X1950 PRO

Features new native CrossFireT technology designed to simplify the multi-GPU experience on a wide range of platforms

MARKHAM, ONTARIO, Oct 17, 2006 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) -- ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:ATY)(NASDAQ:ATYT) today announced that it is introducing new levels of performance at a mid-range price point with the new Radeon® X1950 Pro graphics card. Available and shipping today with an estimated street price of US$199 or EUR199 (VAT included), the Radeon X1950 Pro bests competing offerings at the same price in both single-card and dual-card configurations.(1)

 

The Radeon X1950 Pro is the first graphics card to make use of new native CrossFireT technology, simplifying the multi-GPU experience by eliminating the need for a branded CrossFire Edition card. Using CrossFire bridge interconnect cables that attach directly to the cards, installation is easy and gamers get a clean, elegant look. Native CrossFire technology also delivers the same high-performance multi-GPU gaming experience CrossFire is known for, enabling high resolutions and refresh rates. The new CrossFire technology works on the same broad range of Intel and AMD platforms that cable CrossFire technology supports, including AMD socket 939 and AM2 motherboards, and Intel® 975X and P965 motherboards.

 

"The Radeon X1950 Pro is incredibly good value," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, PC Business, ATI Technologies Inc. "Bringing ATI's high-end features into the mid-range gives gamers blistering performance and gorgeous image quality that's unmatched at this price. The Radeon X1950 Pro shows that ATI is taking gamers' feedback to heart with the introduction of new native CrossFire technology to make it easier than ever for gamers to get up and running with a CrossFire setup. ATI will continue to enhance CrossFire to be more open, flexible and easy to use, giving gamers the superior performance they expect from our products."

 

For games that look stunning, the Radeon X1950 Pro includes the same image quality features as ATI's flagship Radeon® X1950 XTX, such as the ability to enable FP16 High Dynamic Range effects with anti-aliasing at the same time. Sharp texture filtering makes certain that every game detail is crisp and clear. Beyond gaming, the Radeon X1950 PRO also provides exceptional video quality when playing today's high-definition media formats, displaying one billion colors, or 10-bit throughout the graphics pipeline.(2) The new card is also HDCP-compliant, including a built-in EEPROM and HDCP key.(3)

 

With Windows VistaT on the horizon, the Radeon X1950 Pro is ready to enable the premium experience.(4) Armed with the stability and performance of ATI's Windows Vista drivers, the company recently earned the industry's first graphics hardware Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certification for Microsoft's new operating system.

 

For Folding enthusiasts, the GPU clients now available for Stanford University's Folding@home distributed computing project also support the Radeon X1950 Pro. For information on the project and how you can use your ATI GPU to contribute to disease research, please visit the Folding@home website at http://folding.stanford.edu.

Pressemeldingene til ATi bør taes med en klype salt... Det samme bør alt hva "Se og Hør" skriver...

 

SLI (nVidia MIO) kan ofr det første både sende og mota data samtidlig, det er en full-duplex bus...

 

Ellers er det bra at de har integrert Crossfire i GPU (det de har gjort er å ta komponentene som før var eksterne på master-kortene, og integrert dem i GPU). Teknisk funkgerer altså Crossfire på samme måte. Regner med at det er dette vi kommer til å se i R600 og.

 

Ellers har AnandTech gjort en god test av kortene:

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2858

 

De har sammenlignet power med x1900GT og 7900GS. Limer inn AnandTech sin "Load" test. 80nm utgjør omtrent 8 Watt.

 

 

Overall ser dette ut som en god brikke til en god pris.

[mhsalangli]

har et x1900gt kort med akkurat samme kjøler som dette nye. litt rart siden det ikke finnes noe bilde av det på nett, der er bare den hvite kjøleren avbildet.

[leifeinar]

det som er så rått med dette kortet er at det er kaldt. og når slike som power color krysser et kalt kort med en artic cooling axxelero X2 da blir det faktisk lydløst....

 

har X2 på mitt 1900XT og da trenger ikke vifta og gå over 50%, tipper dette kortet er så kaldt at det ikke trenger mere enn 25% hastighet uansett load. dermed totalt lydløst. ferdig overklokka er det også

[rudolfrock]

Hvordan blir dette kortet i forhold til X1900GT?

[eXa]

litt bedre, sjekk linken [GDI]raptor postet:

[lysbryter]

Jeg tror jeg går for PowerColor-kortet. Ser at Extreme-utgaven har en annen kjøler enn standard-utgaven.

 

Noen som vet om forskjellen på dem, med tanke på ytelse og støy?

[HBK]

Forskjellen er vel ikkje annet enn ytelse og kjøler. Extreme utgaven er klokket litt høgare og betre kjølar.

Har extreme kortet sjølv, og veldig positivt overraska over støyen

Kan du si noe mer om forskjellen på denne kjøleren og kjøleren på standard-utgaven av kortet?

 

Et annet spørsmål: Utgjør 512Mb-utgaven stor forskjell fra 256Mb-utgaven?
