VGA products almost become the most frequency product line in the PC component parts.
They often refresh the product line in several months very often.


The ATI X1900 Series are the finest performance and spec. on ATI product line this moment.
ATI formal specification with 90nm chipset procedure and finest 48 pixel pipeline design.




This time we got MSI X1900XT here, Core/Memory clock is 625/1450 MHz
The top version is X1900XTX segment, Core/Memory clock is 650/1550 MHz




The MSI X1900XT outlook










Right side layout










As the picture, this is the master card, left side is VHDCI interface, right side is DVI.
You have to get 1 master card to run on CrossFire mode. The normal slave card only have 2 DVI connector.














Main core chip and memory chip.
Use the SAMSUNG DDRIII -11 module, this spec. with the availability up to 1800MHz frequency.












The heatsink design with thermal fan speed control.
Even no noise when work in 2D mode, but some noise when in 3D mode.

ATI usually behind with performance and market share during the recent year.
But almost catch up NVIDIA 7 series when the X1900 series launch, even the
test mark compare on 3D Mark 2006, the ATI comes with better technology
and better test result, hope ATI can keep enhance their products with more
mainstream and entry level segment to beat NVIDIA 7600/7300 series
products. That¡¦s customer¡¦s benefit when 2 companies keep competition in
the market.
