Should have posted this earlier...it was there like 9 hours and 20 minutes ago...

The card isn't all that interesting anyways...

I agree kinda craps

Quite simply, it?s the coolest-running Radeon X1950 XTX board on the market right now, and with the addition of A.P.E., it?s also the fastest X1950 XTX.
...
With an MSRP of $539, Sapphire?s TOXIC X1950 XTX is by no means cheap. With street prices on X1950 XTX boards often selling for $450 or less, you could buy your own Radeon X1950 XTX board and mount an aftermarket cooler to it and still have some change left over, but you?d void your card?s warranty in the process, and wouldn?t get the TOXIC board?s guaranteed speeds of 695MHz. Apparently that?s the price you pay for peace of mind.

doesn't add very much over a stock xtx . . . practically . .. in increased games' fps.

Didn't the review say that the TOXIC makes slightly more noise than the stock cooler?

thats on high , keep at low and you still have a low temp of 64 on load.

The overlock doesn't seem to help performance much.

even for someone who likes ati . . . it is damn disappointing performance. ..

it is the 'end' of the x1900 series

and it looks like r600 is probably [relatively] late
