A new review today as we recently received a fresh product from PowerColor, which coincidentally is launching officially today. It's now October and although slightly delayed ATI gives you the *drum roll* Radeon X1950 Pro!
ATI worked hard to finish up its new 80 nanometer products and despite a delay of all the 80 nanometer chips, it is finally ready to be released. The Radeon X1950 Pro as tested today is such a product, and is actually the RV570 based card that you probably heard about a couple of times already.
Tul, the actual company behind the PowerColor line of products, asked us if we would be interested in reviewing some of their products a while ago, and so we did.
Roughly 2 weeks ago is was clear that ATI was about to release yet another graphics card onto the market that comes from the successful X1900 series of graphics cards. It's targeted at the high-end segment yet in the lower price range. The product is being positioned against NVIDIA's GeForce 7900 GS and 7950 GT.
So today we'll be looking at the rather lovely Radeon X1950 Pro from this company, a review on ATI's latest 12-pipe mid-range product which obviously was based off the R580 silicon, and is quite frankly a very credible graphics card as you'll learn in this article. The card features 36 Pixel Shaders units. For $199 you can pickup the 256MB version already, it sounds like a great deal as it should offer at least twice the performance of an X1600 Pro.
With that being said I'd like to invite you to hit the next page where we'll start off with a little technical information on the new Radeon X1950 Pro, discuss it's pricing, followed by a little photo shoot, after which we'll startup a large benchmark session to see how well it behaved performance wise.

HiS Radeon X1950 Pro ICEQ3 Turbo review
Today's tested product is the shaggy Radeon X1950 Pro which comes with the newer IceQ3 cooling solution; a review on ATI's latest 12-pipe mid-range product which obviously was based off the R580 silicon, and is quite frankly a very credible graphics card as you'll learn in this article. The card features 36 Pixel Shaders units. And for roughly $219-239 you can pickup the 256MB version already.
Radeon X1650 XT & X1950 Pro & Crossfire
Primarily this is a Radeon X1650 XT Crossfire article, yet with included X1950 Pro Crossfire results as well. Ever since NVIDIA released the GeForce 7600 GS/GT cards earlier this year ATI has had a very rough time delivering a product that offers the same performance. They constantly were close but not close enough. ATI worked hard to finish up its new 80 nanometer products and despite a delay of all the 80 nanometer chips, it is finally ready in good quantities. The Radeon X1950 Pro for example is such a product.
HiS Radeon X1650 PRO review
The Radeon X1650 Pro utilizes the ATI RV535 graphics core, a new revision of the RV530 which was the basis of the X1600 series. What's new then you are asking ? Uhm, well nothing except a newer 80nm fabrication process. That 80nm process ensures cheaper production of the silicon and more importantly less heat and likely lower graphics core voltages. That means you can clock the core faster, which was done quite insignificantly for this model but the increase is there.
