Excellent Card

Strengths: Fastest card on the market. Crossfire will make it even better. Very easy to install. Great drivers.

Weakness: Expensive. Takes up two PCI slots. Power hungry.

Very nice card, fastest thing you can buy (though this might be changing with the new cards coming to the market right now). I can only imagine how great it would be in Crossfire. Takes up a lot of space on your mobo, so be prepared to lose the PCI slot directly below it. If you install another card in Crossfire configuration, you'll lose another 2 PCI slots (4 taken up by the two cards)....

ATI Radeon X1900XTX Graphics Card

Strengths: Everything, is an amazing card. However, didn't write this review for it's strengths because it has a lot.

Weakness: After purchase I noticed that this card needs a different adapter to be able to plug into the 450W power source if you don't have it with your case.

The adapter is a 12V 6 pin square power adapter and the only place I found it for sale was ATI for $12.99 plus S&H. That sort of sucked.

A Excelent Gamers Card

Strengths: Amazingly fast in games and everything else, has two dual link DVI output (in-case you want two 30 inch dells, or just two monitors), max resolution 2560X1600, Great price for the perfomance, Avivo

Weakness: Fan can be noisy at times, though usually only at start up and when you overclock and play games. It's power hungry so get a good power supply.

This is the best single card graphics solution ATI has to offer right now and it is selling for around $350 dollars due to Nvidia's new 7900 series pushing down prices. A few months ago this card was going for $500+, so in my opinion if you want a killer graphics card and don't want to spend a fortune than this card is it. First, I'd like to say if you plan on going crossfire, don't buy this...

ATI Radeon X1900 XTX

Strengths: Dual DVI, Crossfire capable, 512 GDDR3 1.5 GHz memory, Core speed 650 MHz; supports up to 2560 x 1600 resolution

Weakness: Takes up 2 slots, requires a min 450W 30 amp 12 volt rail power supply & 550W for crossfire, PRICE

I just rebuilt my system with the Radeon X1900 XTX card, an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core Processor, 1 GIG of Kingston HyperX memory (yes I know, it’s a little light, but I plan to add more when I recover from the cash outlay for these parts) and a Western Digital Caviar 250 GIG SATA II hard drive. What can I say but WOW! Sit back and get ready to dive...

The best single card solution

Strengths: Blazing fast, easy to install, blazing fast, blazing fast

Weakness: Price

The price on this card is outrageous, but it is FAST. I put this into a system with Pentium D 975 Extreme Edition, Intel Bad Axe motherboard, 2 gigs corsair XMS DDR2 and it just flies. One of these cards is nearly as fast as my dual 7800 GTX SLI setup. Buy this card if you have a Crossfire capable motherboard. I am saving the money to buy the Crossfire Edition X1900 XT in a few months.

ATI Radeon X1900 xtx is great

Strengths: 512mb ddr-3, Fastest card available, Great perfomance in FEAR and many other games

Weakness: Requires 2 pci slot, ATI control center isn't that great

This is the fastest single card solution available at this time. Peforms better than the 7800gtx 512 in shader intensive games, i.e. FEAR. The card will run the new elderscroll: oblivion flawlessly. The developers recommend the 1900 series. Be sure to have a good power supply when using this card.

ATI Radeon 1900XTX the extreme graphics performance

Strengths: - 48 Pineline - The most highest performance of Graphic Processor Unit - Higher quality of display

There is no doubt for ATI Radeon 1900XTX. It is the most fastest graphic card for this year not only processor speed it is providing also higher qaulity of graphic display and video display. 1900XTX is a perfect video card that existed in the current market.

FASTEST CARD ON THE MARKET!!!

Strengths: Can play any game you throw at it... high res, features turned up. Much better drivers and software than nvidia... better 1080p support and resolution-handling

Weakness: Draws more power than nvidia cards ~ 450W recommended for single and 550W for crossfire (though 375W is all you really need for one card at stock, but if you overclock it will be more).

Had a 6800, tried a 7900GS and ended up with this and very happy for it. Works like a charm. I never have any problems with it. Nvidia would lose resolutions when I tried to use it for HDTV or use custom resolutions. This does not, nor will it distort afterwards or pan & scan until you uninstall and reinstall nvidia's drivers. Catalyst is much, much better. Oh, and it can play Oblivion at...

Perfect Card

Strengths: great performance on all current games, high HDTV processing speed

Weakness: run hot , fun is noisy

This the greatest card in my opinion. All games run on it without any problem and any lose of frame. It is the best card I ever have and i am very satisfied with it. The dual DVI output is very useful to connect to two LCD. The drawback of this little boy is the heat when running. It is easily to run hot and seems that the performance of original fun is not good enough to keep core cool. It would...

ATI Radeon X1900XTX from Dell SB

Strengths: Arguably provides the best performance (roughly tied with the 7900GTX) and image quality. Stock cooler exhausts heat out of the case. Perfect for future shader heavy games.

Weakness: Power consumed and heat generated compared to cooler running 7900GT/GTX.

Upgraded the system from a Connect3D X800GTO. The performance difference is immediately noticeable - NFS:Most Wanted ran butter smooth with all settings maxed at 1280x1024, Black & White 2 is a dream and FEAR no longer hitches. Despite the high price of entry, you definitely will not regret gaming at the cutting edge with this card! :)

ATI's Radeon X1900 XTX Guru3D.com review

Hey friends, can you imagine it? A mere three months after ATI released the Radeon X1800 XT they again release a new high-end product, one that needs to match NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB version. The one card to rule them all? This youngest animal from the ATI clan, well beast of a brute actually, has been developed under codename R580 and was due to arrive for a while now actually. <p>...

ATI Radeon X1900 XTX And CrossFire: R580 Is Here

ATI's new Radeon X1900 XTX and XT performed very well throughout all of our testing. In the video related tests, ATI's flagship clearly out scored NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 GTX in HQV, and while playing back high-definition video it had slightly lower CPU-utilization as well (please note, CPU utilization will vary depending on the video being played, however). During the game tests, the new Radeon...

In November, NVIDIA delivered its smashing blow, pushing ATI off the top platform spot. Today, the X1900 series fires back with 384 million transistors and 48 pixel pipelines. As a result, ATI now walks away with both the single and dual card title belts.
