ATI Releases Five New Radeons

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the money-sinks-that-come-with-heatsinks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Eager to retake the performance crown from NVIDIA, ATI has announced five new releases for their Radeon product line. The latest card features 512MB GDDR4 memory running at 1000Mhz, it's currently the fastest single CPU VGA card out there. From the review: 'ATI has proven they are a leader and not a follower with the X1950 XTX. ATI has released the world's first consumer 3D graphics card with GDDR4 memory clocked at the highest ever stock speed that chews through games when it comes to high definition gaming. Memory bandwidth looks to once again be the defining factor in 3D performance. With a re-designed heatsink/fan unit, faster memory, and lowered price, the ATI Radeon X1950 XTX and CrossFire Edition are both serious 3D gaming video cards for the [H]ardcore that offer some value over NVIDIA's more expensive 7950 GX2. ATI's CrossFire dual GPU gaming platform looks to have just grown up.'"

    My Radeon 9800 XT overheats, fun to see laser beam like lines during gameplay.
    Drivers regulary crash my system.
    Crappy Linux support.

    I am never buying another ATI card.

    And the war is on, yet again! So who is better this time? ATI? Nvidia? No one will ever know...cause in the next six months they will have a new line of video cards coming out. I'm still on my good 'ol Radeon 9700 non-pro. I shall not conform to these new changes....:)

    I think I'll hold off for the Radeon XX1999X XTXXQ Dual Core Deuce2Duo. Then we'll see some performance!

    Seriously, do the Marketing people even look at the names they come up with??
