Radeon X1900 XT Shootout
 

As happens immediately after a new product release, board partners compete to be first to market with their retail offering. PowerColor and SAPPHIRE, along with pretty much every other ATI AIB partner, use reference Radeon X1900 XT 512MBs, which we've established to be top-notch gaming cards. In fact, there is no meaningful difference between the two partners' cards, and your choice, should you opt to go down the X1900 XT 512MB route for your PCI-Express gaming thrills, will come down to other factors such as price, bundle, and warranty. The X1900 family also benefits from ATI's Avivo video-processing technology, and for some users it's not all about 3D. Indeed, better looking pixels should be a requirement for each new generation, across the board.
