Looks good so far. Now when is this RD600 mobo supposed to be out? Too bad they don't have 975x results.

those 'benchmarks' should be taken with a large grain of salt!!

Benchmarks provided to vendors for the Radeon X1950XTX - Click to enlarge

Dailytech didn't run the tests, Dailytech didn't even see the monitor that output the image during the tests... Dailytech didn't as much as come within 1000 feet of the keyboard. They just managed to catch the benchmarks floating and posted them.

Essentially, until we see review numbers, consider this fud.

thread here: Radeon X1950 CrossFire puts Quad SLI in its place

to me this seems like another marketing 'joke' from ati

more pics of the sexy red beast @ vr-zone!!
plus a little comparison of the layouts x1900 / x1950
seems like the powerconsumption is a little lower than x1900, because of a simpler PCB layout, missing mosfet's and less SMD components...
