ATi Radeon X1K Graphics Launched, Benchmarked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pixels-are-good dept.

MojoDog writes "ATi has officially launched their all new Radeon X1000 family of 3D Graphics cards this morning and a full showcase with benchmarks of the entire line-up can be found at HotHardware. What may or may not be surprising to you, is the fact that the new high-end flagship X1800 is still a 16 pixel pipe GPU but now running at a blistering 625MHz. Is it fast enough to catch NVIDIA's 24 pipe GeForce 7800 GTX?"

    Their Windows drivers suck, too. I can't wait until I my 9800 Pro needs to be replaced so I can get an Nvidia card. ATI wooed me with a great price, and they lost me with lousy drivers. Their Linux drivers are without a doubt horrible.

    The apparent lack of X1000 series cards is probably more to blame on the fact that the NHL starts again tonight (and the fact that most of Canada will be taking a sick day tomorrow). Coincidence? I don't think so...Duke sucks!
