It should also be noted that it appears vr-zone used High Quality in nVidia's drivers which means the results are much more realistic.

Yep that's something a lot of review sites leave out. Doesn't matter how many games a site tests if they're all using standard settings because the results are only 50% complete.

Yeah but the standard fan speed is 1000 rpm and even when he cranked it to 3000 rpm he said it was silent.
I don't think there's any real reason to crank the fan to 4800 rpm unless you're planning on doing some serious overclocking and/or you have poor case cooling.

Remember the days when people like rollo bought a 7800GTX 512MB for $800 and its not even been a year since then ... we are already have a $400 card that can beat it in SLI

Wow, I see a lot of people not really thinking critically here.
X1900XTX -> X1950XTX is simply not a huge improvement in performance.
I have both an X1900XT (OC'ed to XTX) and a 7950GX2 and let me tell you, the 7950GX2's performance destroys the X1900XT(X). There is simply no way a minor memory improvement is going to allow ATI to beat the performance of the 7950GX2/7900 GT SLI so easily. These benchmarks are bullshit.

Too bad they went with the goofy red cooler instead of the cooler looking silver one... Results are decent, and pretty much what I expected. If this card goes for $450, then it might be a winner.
Card is 399$
AND the hardwarezone results tell us one thing - CONROE FTW! Just look at the abysmal performance difference seen when using a x6800 and the very small gain when using an FX-55?
Dont bring that Intel fanboy crap here.. this is a discussion about GPUs..

That sounds about right if they used Nvidia's "High Quality" driver setting, which disables AF, Trilinear etc. optimisations. The "High quality" setting makes it look more like ATI's IQ, but at a serious performance hit.
the did use high quality settings.
"I ran all 3d cards at best image quality settings on the driver level, since those buying these cards care a lot about eye candy."

I will wait for Xbit (17+ games ftw).
Still looks like a nice card, to bad ATI does not have a step up program like eVGA.

BTW guys, VR-Zone benchmarks with High Quality, no optimizations. This accounts for the huge drop in NVIDIA scores.
