Posted over at R3d, looks real to me? Discuss!

 

[dug777]

Sounds awesome

cooler looks the same on the outside at least tho...

 

[Extelleron]

Probably fake but definatly not out of reach for ATI. W/ 80nm process and a slightly better cooler 750/1800 is hardly impossible for them to reach.

If its quiter and faster it ill be all for it!

Right now they are pretty much the same, and i give NV the nod for easier to configure drivers, less phone calls to me

 

[VERTIGGO]

it mentions combining two of them in crossfire, but does it mentiona master card? are we seeing an improvement? or was it negligence

Somebody has got to PM Cooler about this card!! He's been waiting for this for awhile now.
Nice find OP!

Edit- I wonder if they are using the same memory as the 1900XTX's? And if they are, how did they get a 900 clock out of it from the 1900's 750?

 

[CaiNaM]

i'd like that new redesigned HSF for my card!

X1900 memory is 1.1ns which means it is rated for 1800 MHz effective anyway.

Has ATI forgotten where to make money, in the mid-range? Still no X1900XL?

 

[santz]

i am gonna reserve my judgement untill i find out that this is real!!!!!

if it is, it came out just after a week after i bought the x1900xt from dell.
does any1else feel broken over this?????

or , cant decide!!!!!!!

X1800GTO- $200-225 price point
X1800XT - $300 price point
X1900XT- $430-450 price point
X1900XTX- $500 price point

Where does the X1900XL fit into that? ATI already has a very solid lineup in EVERY area. ATI doesnt need an X1900XL when the X1800XT already competes fairly well w/ the 7900GT, even if you do consider oc'ing, since you can oc the X1800XT to 695/1600 easily and most likely beyond.

After X1950:

X1800GTO- $175-200 price point
X1800XT - $275-300 price point
X1900XTX - $400 price point
X1950XT - $500 price point
X1950XTX- $600 price point

That's my guess.

Yeah, this is 90% fake. Some small grammar/typographical errors give it away from what I can see. Still, this sounds like a good possibility. As I said above, a better HSF+80nm should easily make 750/1800 possible.

Agreed. I say it's fake for sure. Too many errors...

Well supposedly there will be a X1900XL and a X1900GTO coming as well so ATI should definately have a card for every mid-range budget. The XL is supposed to use 1.4ns ram so that's not TOO bad-wish they went 1.2ns though.

Beyond that, I doubt they'd keep that HSF given the issues users are reporting with it. I'd expect the X1950XTXPE to have a Silencer or Zalman type cooling solution.

It would just be too risky of a business move for ATI to use the XT/XTXs fan.

thats what i thought but,
as extelleron said there's no place for x1900xl to fit in

 

[jayanath]

oh yeaaah
maybe its a april fools joke
anyways what i want is a midrange 512mb card

[Cooler]

I have told people a long time ago from the memory clock speeds of xtx that better version would come out later on.

 

[nib95]

If thats all true, I may ell my 7900 Gt's and go for the X1950 XTX!!
Yeaaaa babyyyy! God, I'm changing GPU's every 2 weeks at this rate lol.

Still, where does it fit? The X1900 AIW is 48ps and 500/980 and gets eaten alive by the X1800XT, unless the X1900XL is much faster it will too. It would have to BEAT the X1800XT and be available for -$300. In most games a 550/1300 or so X1900 isnt going to beat a 625/1500 X1800XT just because it has 3x the shaders.

The picture is just a background for the slide. How do you know this is a picture of the X1950XTX's cooling solution. I bet this information is accurate.

Anyone else notice the "Watch for our Gemini GPU announcement"

I can't wait.
