I dont think this will have any noticeable effect since the main performance advantages over X1950 Pro come from 512mb of ram and 16 pipes. Recall Anandtech's review of X1950XTX with 2000mhz memory (29% improvement) vs. X1900XTX with 1550mhz memory provided at most 8.5% at 2048x1536. For the most part though the advantage was between 3-5%. So you aren't giving up much.
Great article, RS; that helped my buyers remorse quite a bit!
