Looks great, but following suit of 9800XT, X850, and not very "new". R600 should be the card debuting, and @ the end of October. Development of this card was a waste of time and resources.

Good price, good performance and a silent cooler, it's just to close to r600.
Great card though.

it doesn't look like DH has posted a review on this card, or there being a link to one. if there is, can anybody tell me where it's at? ATM, i'm thinking it as being just a filler card, but that's just my opinion until i have seen a review comparing the results of the x1900xtx and the x1950xtx

I voted for great card, I'd love one
I mean christ guys, what more do you want?
there's always new tech 'just around the corner', so you always gotta get on with what you got right now, and this card looks pretty fecking sweet to me right now
I'd have one at a stroke, the whole dx10 argument is mute as far as I'm concerned cos it's gonna take at least a year after release of vista before that whole shebang works properly and is worth getting
but what do I know, I still have agp (and an apparantly doomed AiW at that)

Well, i got 2 x1900's, and the performance boost offered by the x1950's is not something that appeals to me @ all, due to the small increases.
I tend to buy new cards as soon as they are available locally, because i like to benchmark. but i won't be buying two of these...might buy one tho...

Great board, id love one (If I had an appropriate rig to "accomodate" it)
It is oviously a filler, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a great product: one of the highest performing and most advanced cards has just got better!

very good card for a single card solution
but they are lacking a dual gpu solution, the dual gpu is what keeps nvidia still on top
