x1950xt AGP (YES 1950xt AGP) Confirmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by: Schadenfroh
Yes, but where can you buy one?

Oh so your saying it's never going to show?
I seem to remember people saying that about the x1950pro.

So back to the question. PSU and CPU requirements?

EDIT: Yea the picture is a 1950pro?

 
same as PCIe wattage requirement

and i'd say you need at least 4Ghz to not be a bottleneck - at all.

and i'd say also look out for x1950pX2 in AGP ... why not? all they need is a bridge chip [or two] 😛
 
If there was XT version, it would be out by now. That guy obviously doesn't know difference between pro and XT versions.

I emailed that guy (Bosco) and asked him to confirm.

by NOW? the article is Jan 5, 2007 😛

but it could be a TYPO ... looking at the picture it says 'pro'
 
I'd be happy just get my hands on a Sapphire X1950 pro 512mb.....damn you Australia...damn you all to hell :|

Yes it is confirmed we have one coming for a review, we were just as shocked I couldn't believe it until they pulled it out.

You wrote that Powercolor had a x1950xt AGP card on display. Can you confirm this?

Thanks, Many AGP users
 
Sounds like it's coming then and as it is Powercolor I'm not surprised, they have done things like this before.:thumbsup:

As for CPU. I use the PCIe version and with my CPU (AMD64 3200+) overclocked to a 3800+ I'm still a bit CPU-bottlenecked.

So will this do?

the P4 probably isn't going to let the card stretch it's legs much...but I've seen a lot slower fitted with high end cards and they work fine.

At least you won't be limited by the Video card like many AGP users with higher end CPU's are.

now where are the 8 series AGP cards nvidia?

Same place as the R600 based AGP cards, I suppose.
X800 vs. 6800
X1800 vs. 7800
X1900 vs. 7900
R600 vs. 8800

Did that help you?
