ATI Radeon X1950 unveiled

Nvidia recently released drivers to enable Quad SLI and ATI are now hitting back. Quad SLI hasn't performed as well as expected and many blame this on poor initial driver revisions from Nvidia.

ATI is taking advantage of this misstep and is releasing the Radeon X1950, which will become its flagship graphics card when launched in early September. This is ATI's first major announcement since being bought by AMD.

The X1950 Crossfire has two GPUs onboard (Crossfire with a single card). It and the X1950 XTX are the first consumer graphics cards to feature GDDR4 memory. Changes in the cooling system provide further scope for overclocking.

The XTX model should come in at around the £300 mark with the Crossfire card around £550.
