I'd say they got it pretty much right there, at least for now.
Nicely spotted.:thumbsup:

Bleh. Their prices were off. I could not find a X1900GT on Pricegrabber, Newegg or ZZF for $150. You can get a 8800GTS for under $400.

The 7950GT should have been listed. Also they said nothing was really new for December other than the 8800 price drops, but the wide availability of the X1950 AGP was pretty big news (at least for those still on AGP).

The X1900GT was probably under $150 at the time of the article. If you look in the "Hot Deals" section of this forum, it was at $150 for a really long time, even down to the $140 range for a week.

7950GT, which one? And for which price range are you referring to?

Problem is that prices change all the time. Right, you can get an X1900XT for $200, but in a month I doubt you'll see it there still.

Pretty good read. Amazing how there is'nt worth anything worth buying from $240 to $400. That seems the range most are happy to spend in and nothing there. I'd like to see a crippled GTO to fill that gap or maybe lower price of GTO.

The 7950GT should have been listed.

What for? x1900xt beats it let alone X1950 XT which is same price.

When has an x1650PRO been around 100$? Atleast not the GDDR3 1400mhz ones...

That article convinced me a X1950 XT is the way to go. Thanks Pr0d1gy.

You can get the 7950gt for around $200 AR at newegg Text

edit: nevermind, you can get a x1950xt for $220 which is a better deal than the $200 7950gt Text

The X1900 GT is based on the X1900 XT core, only stripped down a bit - some pixel shaders are disabled, and the card is clocked slower than its XT cousin. There are now two versions: the original 575 MHz core / 600 MHz memory card, and the new 512 MHz core / 6600 MHz memory version. Both perform similarly.

Impressive memory clocks for a x1900gt. I might almost be willing to trade my x1900xt for one with 6.6 ghz mem clocks lol. I guess ATI is really on the ball these days already pushing out XDR2 RAM on their mid range vid cards.

Sapphire X1900GT $164.99

This card was $134.99 2 weeks ago, pretty damn sure about that. So they are kinda right - $150±15.
