What is this? and why does it cost so much?

There are two 1950 GPUs and a Crossfire chipset on the One Card.
Basically Crossfire for those with one 16x PCIe slot on their Mobo.

Two of these cards "should" give you a "Quadfire" setup. 8O

I wonder how this card benches against the HD2900XT :?:

It would probably use the same amount of power!

Too bad they started selling it so late... it would have been pretty cool if it came out around the time of the 7900GX2

Did anyone notice at the specs that it says 12+12 pixel pipelines? erm... i believe they meant 36+36...

Good Idea. Heading there now. BRB!

Can you use two each cards in crossfire for quad? has anyone tried?

Anyone have a crossfire setup with 1950's?????????????????

Looks like it should cost $250.

I understand that ATI will do to there GPU's what AMD did to thier CPU's x2 tECH.

No, 12+12 is correct. There are 12 pixel pipelines each with 3 pixel shaders and a TMU. The Radeon X1950 architecture page on EliteBastard's review will do a better job explaining it than I ever will (or TGGA here for that matter).

They technically have 12 pipelines, but 36 pixel shader units.

I doubt they sold as much. It's more of like a collectors item now. Just like the dual 7800. I'll bet someone will ship out dual 8800 next year.

Sorry, you are right, i read pixel shaders in my mind, although i typed pipelines. It's confusing sometimes after some work at the office! lol
