Well... I just bought the HIS X1950XT >..>;; Reeeealy nervous now.

X1950XT? I don't know of any such card... there's X1900XT's and X1950 Pro's, but I don't know of any X1950XT's. From the product picture, it's not the X1950 Pro (which has a newer cooler), so it's probably the X1900XT - which is a great card. :)

EDIT: Unless that's what they're calling the 256Mb version of the original X1900XT's, which had 512Mb. I haven't seen any announcements to that effect, tho... strange.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Its clocked higher, memory wise, than the x1900xt, it seems, but is indeed 256Mb.

Well, as far as I have heard, ATI hasn't released a X1950XT card yet, so it could just be a rebranding by retailers or something. Whatever, it's not important, just curious.

Hmm, original releases I read had stated that, but it seems now that it is no longer true. Well, then no loss in upgrading to the x1950xt :D

The X1950XT was launched silently a few weeks ago. It's basically a 256MB X1900XT with faster memory.
