The X1900XTX is a monster it show almost no loss of FPS in some of the test when AA and AF is turned on!!!

Cant wait for the new Nvidia card, should kick this in the face

@Rburley - I take it you will be wanting one of these

I take it they will be worthless when you have to sell your arms to be able to afford them.

 

[Person]

Nah sell your legs you need your arm to play games

$650 is a bit much tho.

Already sold my legs to get the New Dell Pc's

 

[Silent_Bob]

i am surprised how well they do when in high resolutions with AA ect on

 

[Toxin]

Hey look everybody. They actually got crossfire to work.

 

[gkm]

I like it when ATI and NVidia takes turns to be king. Us gamers win all the time then, alternately buying ATI and NVidia cards.

ROFL
Yeah I saw the review a few days ago, mighty impressed *drool.
Hopefully when I get my new PC(waiting for AMD X2 socket M2) the prices will be around the same as the x1800xt now, as I am budgeting for it.

But I am not ruling out Nvidia if the new Geforce is better I will take that rather, but if they similar ATi all the way

now m2 must just hurry up before i do something stupid and buy a xbox360

 

[rburley]

ATI's victory in both the single and dual card segments.

i say no more

The cards have arrived here in South Africa; They are in very limited stock. And if you really want a price PM me... But it’s not going to be pretty, trust me.

 

[rburley]

R6 760.66 for the XTX
R5 739.22 for the XT
R6 377.62 for the XT mastercard(crossfire)

[rburley]

yeh that is always the case with the cards that come out LATER.
Like how the X1800xt killed the 7800gtx

*awaits rude comments

What i do think is ridiculous is that ATI has just released the x1800 like the other day and already it has been replaced, if i bought i would seriously be pissed off. The 7800 came out long ago and it still hasnt been replaced, ie greater value. Maybe the x1900 is what the x1800 was meant to be?

Remember that there is a 2 to 3 week waiting list for those cards from Prophecy because they are imported. And they do not incl Shipping
