X1950 R580+ reviews

well they work on the "ring" for every Cat. release. So its a no brainer

 

But the use of the word "flourish" implies, at least in my mind, lots of as-yet-untapped performance. Which I think is why geo was questioning if such a comment was speculative or based on perhaps a little insider info.

 

AT's review.

Update the first post.. or someone else will be forced to make a real review thread.

 

I guess then its to the IRC and grill the Rys , i would assume the gdrr4 with 512mb cards is the next big push.

 

I wished there were reviews with X1950 Pro and X1650 Pro.

 

Is Beyond3D going to do one?

 

You mean X1950 Pro and X1650 XT.

 

Yes, of course. Soonish.

 

Way to kill hexus

 

Seems like an upstream network problem. Some folks can get to it, but seems most can't, and I'm told people are on the case. B3D's piece is coming soon, too

And where's Dizzy to keep that OP updated?

 

I know that red is ATI's official color and all, but couldn't you recolor the two data lines in your graphs to be slightly more different than they are? One's orangey-red and the other is reddish red with a tinge of orange. Can I suggest pink, or yellow, or blue, or something as the second color?

This is what I'm getting eyestrain with:

 

Well that's a first! B3D is getting opinionated

 

Its a secret color blind test! *gasp*.

 

Getting opinionated B3D is no different than any other graphics forum ...

 

The forum is not "B3D" tho. Two separate entities, the official content vs the forum.

 

Sorry for the confusion ... I meant the part that does the reviews which I guess is the "official content".

 

Rather short review, but...

Truer words couldn't have been said.

 

Well exactly. It's that official part that has pretty much avoided subjectivity in the past that I'm referring to. It's a good thing though - shows passion! Just hope it remains as objective on these topics as humanly possible - B3D's reviews are among the untainted few. You can always rely on them as a de-facto standard when all the others are being accused of something or the other. But maybe it has avoided those stigmas simply due to a lack of competitive comparisons?

I liked "opinionated" better than "subjectivity". Actually, I'd like "leadership" even better. Particularly as the original was phrased, which was clearly meant to be vendor-neutral.
