Can someone guesstimate the prices of a x1950xt/xtx?

[SpeedZealot369]

I might be interested in getting one, but if they will be alot more then the current x1900xt/xtx then I would just go with the current gen cards.

I'd like some opinions/guesses on how it will be priced so I can make a good decision about this.

thanks!

Probably about $600. That is what seems to be the average for a ultimate, high-end GPU these days.

I think I read somewhere that the X1950XTX/Crossfire (single card) will be $450 and the X1900XT with 256MB is supposed to be $300.

I hope its around 400ish. Im thinking of buying one, because im sick of using old hardware FX5700.. *shudder*

 

[josh6079]

Oh! Woops, he.....sorry I thought you were asking about R600. Yeah, $400ish is about right, more or less.

 

[tuteja1986]

$450 at launch , one month later $400 below

Estimate:
X1950XT : 400$
X1950XTX : 475-500% or up

Percent? LOL, aught to fix that..

I doubt it will be 500$ as it would come too close to a 7950GX2... so probably 450~

benches from the x1950xt/xtx kick the sh$(* outta the 7950gx2, but it will run about $400

 

[redbox]

around $450 give or take about $20 and it will stay that way untill they get R600 on the way.

 

[ArtisTClerK]

I guess $500-550 for the gougers, $450-500 for the norm and $400-450 for the competitive.

Depends on availability. E6600 as an example.

 

[aka1nas]

Did they announce an X1950XT also? Anand only mentioned the X1950XTX and the 256MB X1900XT

 

[coldpower27]

X1950 XT is a rumored SKU for thr time being.

550+ easy.

I don't really see what niche the x1950Xt would serve. It's essentially the same as the existing card with newer, expensive RAM and a better cooler. The 256MB X1900XT serves the upper midrange/lower high-end better. I don't think they would have bothered with the 256MB version if they were going to come out an XT with GDDR4.

much higher performance than the previous x1900xt/xtx cards. It far surpasses the 7900gtx and 7950gx2 in those benches (except for f.e.a.r. for some reason), where as the x1900xt/xtx was equal to the 7900gtx and bit under the performance of the 7950gx2.

 

[ForumMaster]

around $400.

 

[JPB]

Also..are they still going to release the X1950 Pro version ? As this is the card im looking forward too. Anyone know anything yet ?

From what I saw the GDDR4 was kind of a wash on the XTX. It would make even less sense on a lower-end card, which will have less horsepower to handle the higher resolutions that would make use of the extra memory bandwith.
