X1950 Uber Edition card bundle is kinda cool

[FragTek]

Whilst surfing ZZF's site I came across THIS, which I thought was pretty neat. You get 2 overclocked X1950XTX's, a metal carry case, mouse pad, and a certificate of authenticity. It looks like they're doing this as a "thank you" to the last CEO of ATI before the buyout.

Just thought it was pretty cool. Might be yesterdays news but I didn't know how many people knew about it.

Not too terrible of a price for what you get either all things considered.

Price is definitly good only about $60 for the service and case. Itll be sad to see ATI go DAAMIT.

i know AMD bought out ATI, but are they removing the name aswell?!

 

[NoL]

DAAMITS more a joke, but its really now AMD.

I really liked the X1950Pros graphics (not the BSOD part) I bet those cards are just beautiful to use.

The X1900XTX is a tank.

That's a nice bundle at a good price: maybe ideal for a collecter (or not )

I totaly missed the X1950XTX part.

 

[all4spl]

wow thats pretty nice.. so r those a lot better than 7950's????

 

[FarFarAway]

Depends on how you look at it I spose.

The 7950 will out-speed an X1950XTX, but the XTX has stunning visuals compared to the 7950

Plus Crossfire XTX's will be very fast

 

[PP Mguire]

The X1950XTX is the best supported DX9 card out there. In Crossfire no Nvidia setup can touch it. (Besides 8800s of course)

true but is it worth the price tag?

since dx10 is at our door steps i dont think it would be wise to spend all that money to get two dx9 cards.

Actualy for now yup. I wouldnt recomend getting a DX10 card till gen 2 comes out cause DX10 and DX10 games are kinda still far away. Exactly why if anything i MIGHT get an 8600ultra if it outperforms my X1900XTX in DX9 (muahaha i doubt it). The price tag is good for getting Crossfire X1950s. If i remember right the link to ZZF for this was like 500 something.

it would be well sweet to have them, just don't have the money
