X1900 XTX Round Up

One card is from Sapphire, one from Club 3D and one from Connect3D. Let’s remind ourselves what the X1900 offers. The XTXs we’re looking at here are all clocked at 650MHz core clock and an astonishing 1,550MHz for the memory. We played briefly with overclocking, but at the moment manufacturers aren’t offering retail overclocked cards as is common with NVIDIA. This is most likely because ATI cards are clocked so high that there’s far less headroom than there is with NVIDIA.

As the cards are all clocked exactly the same, and sport exactly the same reference design we only present one set of benchmark results for the XTXs as at stock settings the cards will perform exactly the same. These results are put up against a 7800 GTX 512MB clocked at reference speeds.
