Jetway has gone through the trouble to deviate from the ATI reference design and come up with a X1950 Pro video card packed with 512Mb GDDR4 memory chips. We compare its performance to the vanilla X1950 Pro with GDDR3 to see if there are any improvements performance wise.

Although many have been a bit disappointed that the latest hardware renditions that ATI released didn't take the GTX performance crown, they tend to forget that the money is in the mid to low range cards, not the top end. This is a market that is still held pretty firmly by ATI with their x1950 Pro cards. Today I have Sapphire's version of the series which has proved itself time and time again; let's see how this one fairs against new challengers from the 8600 series.

If you're looking to buy a graphics card now, you might be tempted to wait for the next generation of cards. But sometimes you may not have a choice on the matter. So, your best bet is to get a card that still have enough power to run the latest games and don't break your wallet. The Radeon X1950 Pro has proven to be quite the performer from a price / performance point of view. Today, we're going to take a look at three Radeon X1950 Pro cards on the market. They are the Gigabyte Radeon X1950 Pro, MSI RX1950 Pro T2D256E and Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro.

Images from both cards are exactly what you would expect from any modern relatively high-end card. They are exceptional. Both, however, showed some strengths and weaknesses. Without filtering the Nvidia card had more of a tendency for pixel shimmering than the ATI card. Pixel shimmer is the ugly sparkling that happens where a moving dark object meets a lighter one. It is usually very apparent in vegetation such as leaves on a tree blowing in the wind. At the point where they meet the sky the image shimmers unnaturally at the edges. Even with Bilinear or Trilinear filtering some pixel shimmer is apparent with both cards. But if you intend to run at 1280x1024 or 1024x768, you can still manage very good frame rates with the X1950 Pro with a good deal of both anisotropic and anti alias filtering.
