Conclusion
Again XSR is proud to review such a good product. Not only does it achieve fantastic scores in all benchmarking applications it manages to overclock beyond x1900XTX scores therefore making it pointless forking out for the much more expensive card. The x1900xt is a fantastic card and will allow you to play any game you choose at maximum detail for some time to come. Prices of these cards should also drop slightly when the new x1950 range of cards comes out in mid-september so be ready to snap one of these up soon if you are looking to upgrade.
The only downsides to this card are the fact that it is so big and the fact that it does run pretty darn hot when overclocked. As always the aftermarket cooler guys know better than the GPU companies but it would be nice if one day we could overclock our cards without needing to shell out more cash to get a decent sized overclock.
| Pros | Cons |
| Great performance | Runs hot |
| Good 'bang for buck' | Very big cooler and card |
