Hello everyone. ATI is officially announcing five new members in their Radeon X1K family of the products today, the Radeon X1950 XTX (standard and CrossFire Editions), the 256MB Radeon X1900 XT, the Radeon X1650 Pro and the Radeon X1300 XT. We outline the specifications and features of all of ATI's new cards, and benchmark the high-end products in single-card and dual-card CrossFire configurations. We've got standard and XHD resolutions covered and compare the new Radeons' performance to the best NVIDIA currently has to offer. Here's a quote from the article...
"At the high-end ATI is announcing the Radeon X1950 XTX and Radeon X1950 XTX CrossFire Edition cards. The new flagship features essentially the same GPU found on the older Radeon X1900 XTX, but the X1950 XTX is the first consumer level graphics card equipped with ultra-fast GDDR4 RAM. The RAM on the Radeon X1950 XTX is actually clocked at 1GHz, for an effective clock speed of 2GHz.
For performance enthusiasts on a budget, ATI is announcing a new 256MB Radeon X1900 XT and for the mainstream and entry-level market segments, the company has the Radeon X1650 Pro and Radeon X1300 XT on tap."

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
