x1900 Benchmarks

[Neat_Hedgehog]

That's right, a few benchmarks have been released by Hexus covering the new x1900 and even the upcoming 7900 512mb from Nvidia. I just wish they could give us more details, but ATi is keeping this project pretty secret so far.

Re: x1900 Benchmarks

I want a 7900!!!

BTW, when I next upgrade my PC would it be possible for me to keep my 7800 and buy a 7900 GTX 512 to put in SLi. Would that work? BTW, this is for about 1-2 years time...

I just look forward to see the cards which can run Battlefield 2 on High with good FPS, like the 7800GT and X1800XL reduce in price. Because new graphics cards makes the olders ones cheaper. In half a year you would run BF2 on High for 250 euro and with 40-80 FPS. That's just what most people need.

I'm pretty sure you have to use the same model number in SLI.

$1100...Holy ****.

And we all know that 3Dmark05 doesn't mean sh!t, so as a benchmark, its invalid.

$1100...Holy ****.

I agree that 3Dmark is not very good, but that $1100 is for two X1900 XT's in crossfire.... $549 each.

Re: x1900 Benchmarks

Thats the Crossfire Edition of the card. Not 2 cards in Crossfire.

So one card is $1100. Same typical ATi BS.

Why would a better card cost less than the 7800GTX-512MB? That would be ATi heresy. :laugh:

Nope, they have to be the same model number.

Well that page is confusing at best. Everything that says crossfire is two cards. I can't tell if you are agreeing with me or not.

ATi RADEON X1900 XT 512MB (625MHz VPU / 1450MHz GDDR-3) $549
2 x ATi RADEON X1900 XT 512MB (625MHz VPU / 1450MHz GDDR-3) in crossfire is:
2 x $549 = $1098

A x1900 XT which performs on par with the current 7800 512 is $200 cheaper than the 7800 512. The X1900 XTX which will beat it in performance is $100 cheaper.

Re: x1900 Benchmarks

I wouldn't trust everything Hexus says anyway, they could be wrong, just like the 7800gs agp thing.

Yeah you notice the 7900 scores have a ? mark next to it...

Re: x1900 Benchmarks

I'd be inclined to think that "?" was about the price because it doesn't list one.

I'd think that also, but no one has a 7900 to test which would make me lean toward a projected score and not the price. Where would they be pulling this number from? I guarantee it doesn't score that high with a single card.
