ATI has come with a flurry of punches lately trying to take back the ?video card crown? at very affordable price points. They started by introducing the Radeon X1950 XTX (the fastest single-GPU video card you can get) at only $450 MSRP. With today?s announcement ATI is poised to take the $199 pricing segment as well. The Radeon X1950 Pro performs exceptionally well for the price; it competes easily with NVIDIA?s GeForce 7900 GS providing a better experience in most games.
ATI has made a couple of noteworthy innovations today. ATI are the first to market with an 80nm GPU proving the technology is ready. ATI has also proven their Native CrossFire technology is solid and user friendly. These key technologies are a peek into what ATI has in store for us with their next generation products. If you are in the market now for an affordable video card with fast performance in today?s games the Radeon X1950 Pro video card will fit the bill nicely.
The big question is, will AMD totally cancel all this ATI innovation?
