New Radeon X1950 Pro Benchmarked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-for-less dept.

ThinSkin writes "ATI has today announced its mid-range Radeon X1950 Pro, which introduces a new CrossFire dual-card technology with fewer headaches. ExtremeTech has a full review of the X1950 Pro, including benchmarks against a GeForce 7900 GS in both single-card and dual-card configurations. According to the review, the single-card X1950 is a better performer versus the GeForce; however, in CrossFire mode, the X1950 doesn't quite have the punch to overtake the GeForce in SLI."

    What I want to know is, why would some one spend $500 on a videocard for Linux? Unless it's a dual-boot...It seems like a waste...
    Doom 3, Quake 4, upcoming Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and UT2007, using Blender, doing video editing (Cinerella), developing opengl applications...

    Now why anyone would spend $500 on an ATI videocard for Linux.. I have no idea..
