X1900XT vs. X1950XT

[runninkyle17]

IF you want a really good cooling method then look at the Thermalright HR-03 and put a fan on it. If you have room in your case to do this it is probably the best cooler out there for video cards.

I am trying to figure out if I can fit one in my case with a fan and still be able to use my 2nd PCI-E slot. I may just get one now though even if it does cover up the 2nd PCI-E slot because I won't be pushing crossfire anytime soon since my 1900XTX is running everything just fine. If you do get an HR-03 then you could most likely OC your card so that it performs at least 15% faster.

When is ATI supposed to release their new card?

Edit: Nevermind. January 22.

Looks like it's being pushed back until first half of Mars sadly.

OMG no How can I possibly get that when it gets released, the shipping would be insane...

I'm just hoping once the new card comes out everyone gets all excited and sells their x1950xt's to me. Yay.

The HIS is supposed to have the best cooler, right? And it's only $250 on newegg......

That $250 HIS X1950XT has the stock HS/F. The nicer coolers are in the ICEQ3 series - that said, I just jumped on the Sapphire care for $220 AR.
