Reg Hardware has sourced a couple of exclusive shots of the up and coming ATI Radeon X1950 Pro graphics cards. As you’ll see from the pictures, this card is quite different in terms of design compared to the X1950 XTX and it is the first graphics card to use digital PWM and ATI’s first graphics card with an internal CrossFire interconnect.
As you’ll notice, the rear of the card is vastly different to the X1950 XTX in as much as there are next to no components here. There are two digital PWM’s and not very much else to be found here. This allows for a cheaper and less complex board design. The miniscule heatsinks also help reduce overall cost alongside the need for fewer capacitors. The power connector has been moved to the middle of the board and the fan connector has been placed just above it.
The internal CrossFire connectors don’t give away too much about how it will work, but a dongle less solution is a blessing. Although ATI has gone for two internal connectors, as not to mimic Nvidia’s SLI technology too closely. ®
- jeden můstek je volný - myslíte, že ten druhý je tam kvůli tomu, že bude možné spojovat více karet za sebe?
- má nový chladič, který vypadá, že by mohl být tichý (vzhledem k velikosti jádra RV570 a rozměrům pasivní části bych byl ohledně hlučnosti docela optimistický)
- chladič je sice jednoslotový a tudíž nefouká ven, ale aspoň fouká do strany a neopíká HDD
Lidi jen by me zajimalo kdy by se mela tato karta objevit v obchodech ??? bo ted skladam komp ... a nejak nevim X1900GT neni tam kde to maji Nejlevnejsi a nejsou me schopni rict kdy bude tak nevim jestli zatim nekoupit treba X1800GTO a cesem koupit NOVOU (plaunuju hrat FEARa a a NFS Carbony ) a nebo proste to risknout a doufat ze 1900GT tu bude co nejdriv a nebo pockat na X1950Pro???? a take by me zajimala predbezna cena jestli nekdo vi diky moc
