ATI's Radeon X1900GT On Test

An anonymous reader writes "ATI's Radeon X1800XT reached end of life last month and the company announced its replacement on May 5th: Radeon X1900GT. Bit-Tech has put a pair of retail Radeon X1900GT cards from Connect3D and Sapphire to the test in a range of real-world benchmarks to find out how it matches up to NVIIDA's 7900 GT."

ATI have caught on..

that the letters GT in the card name make it run faster. maybe if they add a x after it they could even topple Nvidia's cards once and for all..... or not.

They should put a "Type R" sticker on it.. .then it would be SUPER FAST!!!!

But can these cards pass a VESA test?

if there's something I've learned over the years, it's that logic will never win out in a convo on /. - best of luck to you, though ;)

What other platform? Apple? [apple.com] Yes they support Macs. But I can't personally attest to anything on mac because, quite frankly, OSX is inferior to both Linux and Windows [berkeley.edu] on a technical level.

And yes you can run AGP + fb and switch between X and console just fine with the current driver ... and you could a few years back (2002)... I'm sorry if you can't configure an xorg.conf/XFree86.conf file.

By that logic... the Radeon 9700 is way better than this new X1900GT...

Yep, so easy... requires no reading at all.

And the more Xs, the better? And which is better, GS, GT or GTX? Or XT or XTX?
