Also i read that the new x1950 cards will also have a similar connectino method to SLI connector..once ATI get there Xfire up and running they are probably gonna be the more better gpu for iq/speed compared to nvidia..

1000 drivers cauldn't fix nvidia...

it's based off the RV570 chipset, not the 580+ that the regular 1950xt or xtx is based off.

But it performs similar to a 1900xt (little less) as it has a 256 bit bus.

Nobody can say for sure... its still a 16 pipe design, but has oodles of memory bandwith.

Seriously the memory bandwidth on the x1950xtx is absolutely insane. 64GB/s is nuts.

And you know this how? The rv570 is a value oriented core, theres no way it performs anywhere near the x1900xt.

And you know this how? The rv570 is coming out 6 months after the x1900xt debued, and should have similar performance.

Common sense tells me that.
