X1950XTX and Mastercards... GDDR4 IS HERE!!

The refresh will easily beat the GX2 in a lot of tests (as does the X1900!).

Don't forget, not everything can utilise SLI.

Doubt it. It's still on 90nm.

Im sticking to my 7800gtx until end of the year, and then i will be thinking about a 512/gddr4/dx10/g8 card. hopefully in the region of £300.

in the region of £300 :O, thats a little low for a high end card.. I expect it to be at least £380, unless you want a 256 version

Not after a month or to.

Quite looking forward to this now.... was expecting to go for a HIS IceQ3 1900, but with these around the corner it cant be bad... Hopefully by the time these come out the AM2 crossfire mobos will be around...

Right, but you can still have a more mature process without needing a nm shrink - optimised die layout etc.

They've got to have done something different - the 1900XTX showed there wasn't much slack in the 1900 layout.

Im seriously looking forward to this, though i may have to save up for some time. It should be amazing.
