Gecube company already stated about video card radeon x1950 XT with 256mb memory of type GDDR- 3 and interfaces AGP 8x .Such card will became new high end solution for AGP8X owner. But here in this case for potential buyers was manifested two question: the price of such video card could be very high, and print run is limited; the possibilities of the existing processors, which are in motherboard with AGP 8x, could not be sufficient to explore the complete speeds potential of similar video card.
from the last opinion. Actually, to find sufficiently fast (even in the overclocked state) processor socket 754 or Socket 478 processor able to fully use the capability of such video card is a bit complex . However, if we focus attention on motherboard with core of 2 Duo and AGP 8x support (such are in the assortment of aSRock and ASUS production), then the problem of insufficient processor performance will be solved.
As far as the price of the AGP- version radeon x1950 XT is concerned, in Germany this gecube video card already sold for 229 Euro. Which is characteristic, the version radeon x1950 XT with interface PCI express x16 having the standard design cost only 249 Euro. In this case the AGP- version is in some ways inferior: the default memory frequency is equal to 1400 MHz DDR, whereas video card with PCI express interface x16 has memory frequency at 1800 MHz DDR. The video chip r580+ in both cases operates at frequency 625 MHz, AGP- version simply guarantees the minimum overclock to 675 MHz.
As salesmen explain, this video card is equipped with the six-pin power connector , which is more frequently used on video cards with PCI express x16 interface . Related Products :
