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."

    According to the actual game benchmarks, the score is even. That tone makes it sound like the GeForce SLI was the one in the lead. The Fear benchmark went towards ATi, the next two games were even depending on resolution and the last game went to nVidia.
