Liquid Cooled X1900 XTX Card Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the big-barrel-of-oil-so-much-more-fun dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TrustedReview's Andrew Miller has posted a review of the new liquid cooled Radeon X1900 XTX card. There have been a few reviews floating around based on engineering samples of this product, but it sounds like the actual card turned out to be quite a sight to behold." From the review: "If you are seriously considering buying an X1900 XTX, then it is well worth paying the extra money for this card as the noise reduction is dramatic. The extra performance is just an added bonus. However, the 7950 GX2 is simultaneously faster and quieter for the same money. The X1900 XTX on the other hand has the option of HDR and FSAA as well as the possibility of running in Crossfire (assuming you can get hold of a similarly cooled master card).

    Indeed, my MasterCard will need some cooling off time after I purchase one of these babies.

    "Any time I look at buying a card, ATI gets completely ignored because Nvidia's Linux support is so much better."
