Cost

The price of the x1900XT is now around the £215 mark which is very reasonable when looking at the performance of this card. It is far and beyond the performance of the only slightly cheaper x1800 range of graphics cards and is a worthy performance leap from the more budget x1900GT which retails for around the £150 mark.

Bits and Box

The box front features the rather fetching cyborg girl that is now as synonymous with Sapphire as the little silver alien riding the "Cross Fire" badge who for really reminds me of the unfortunate man from the mint card advert.

As you can see the box front also shows some of the basic features of the card, such as the 512mb of memory aboard it, the fact that the card is PCI-Express and that you if you get yourself a Crossfire motherboard and GPU you can have the "Ultimate" graphical experience with ATI Xfire. The back of the box has some more detailed feature lists and some card specifications along with the usual blurb from Sapphire.

Along with the graphics card itself you get the usual bits and bobs. Driver CDs extra cables etc etc.
