  • ATI Radeon X1950 XTX (512MB) Reviewed on 08/23/06

    ATI Radeon X1950 XTX (512MB)

    ATI's Radeon X1950 XTX is the fastest single-chip 3D card that you can buy. Unfortunately, with Windows Vista and its accompanying gaming technology, it's going to become obsolete in just five months. ATI adjusted the price of the Radeon X1950 XTX accordingly, but at $450, it's still not an insignificant purchase. We recommend it only if money is no object.

    Specs: ATI Radeon X1950 CrossFire, 2560 x 1600, 512 MB, PC, 2
