Hardware Description

The Radeon X1950 Pro is based on ATI’s 80-nm RV570 GPU. RV570 sports 36 pixel shaders and eight vertex shaders, and runs at 575MHz core/690MHz memory. In PCIe form, the card also ships with integrated CrossFire support that’s built in to the GPU itself; ATI’s CrossFire master cards are no longer necessary. In our Radeon X1950 Pro Performance Preview article we found that the PCIe X1950 Pro was not only capable of outrunning the GeForce 7900 GS, in benchmarks like F.E.A.R., Half-Life 2 Lost Coast, and Oblivion, the card could even outdo the GeForce 7900 GT!
