- Bottom Line:
- 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.

The bad: Next-gen products and titles are right around the corner, limiting the card's time on the cutting edge.

Summary: This is really good card but has problem with driver instability. Since I installed ATI Catalyst Center 7.2 - my PC started randomly freeze. Sometimes it happened once per day, sometimes 3 or more. I had same problem on WinXP SP2 and Vista 64 bit (on Microsoft generic driver works good but in order to play games you need working OpenGL support, which Microsoft driver doesn't). So, beware!
