And here we have the official homepage! Wink

http://www.powercolor.com/global/main_product_detail.asp?id=137

And this is interesting from the specs...

Quote:

Fully Crossfire and BTX compatible

But HOW would you do crossfire? ???

You'd have to have one AGP and one PCI-X slot! Shocked

(not to mention the fact that they would have to be able to work as separate and not 'shared' slots - unlike what most mainboards do...)

WEIRD! Tongue

Here some X1950 Pro AGP card brand news: PowerColor: http://www.powercolor.com/global/main_product_series.asp?int=agp&chp=x1950 Sapphire was releasing one as well but kinda lost that info lol

It used the later chipset and the site that did the review was of the opinion it would make a nifty "physics co-prosessor" Not sure if this is the review but you get the idea- http://www.bootdaily.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=130&Itemid=56

yeah the performance is quite great of this baby

and that performance for the AGP version would be exellent for the AGP people

I'm very happy for them that something like this came out

oh oke PCI-32Bit heh yeah that might be it

since it is about a X1300 PCI

quite amazed of the Quake4 and Oblivion performances on reso 800 x 600 x32 with a PCI-32Bit card! but then again go higher than 800 x 600 the depressions start to fill in the story line.

Simply not a gamers card? maybe not since most onboard VGA's can beat it.

but for the physics part any ATi PCI-Express card can be used

If AI buy the X1900 CrossFire Edition I can use it as 2 3 things

as the CrossFire card
as a Physics card
as a secondary VGA.

but instead of that could also go cheap and use an ATi X1600 pro as a Physics card or second VGA. But I'm go'n for the CrossFire card for the CrossFire setup would be the most logic way for my part

could always add a PCI Physics card in the system or a PCI ATi card.

If so: I'd like to know if the board is using a PCI-Express chip with PCIe/AGP bridge or if it's a real AGP graphics chip _{My guess is a PCI-Express chip with bridge on an AGP board.}

It's the quickest and easiest way to get it market with out re-enginering the whole card. The X1950 Pro cards just came out and took the place of the X1900 GTO cards so that's why I'm thinking that it's a bridge setup.

Probably so. Several (if not all?) ATi Radeon X800 cards (R430) used a bridge too.

Reply #25 - 29.10.06 at 21:43:50 not all X800 cards were R430 based the following AGP models are R420 based: Mobillity Radeon 9800 X800SE X800 Pro X800 XT X800 XT PE the following PCI-E models are R423 based: X800SE X800 Pro X800 XT X800 XT PE The following AGP as PCI-E are R430 based: X800 X800XL

Thanks for the info With ATi Radeon X800 I mean 'the' ATi Radeon X800 (not all the variants of it) And, are all X800's ('the' X800) based on the R430 or on other cores too? Do you have a list of all ATi Radeon X800-based cards (all models) with a PCIe chip on an AGP board + bridge as well?

here's the answer all X800 based GPU's listed:
Quote:

not all X800 cards were R430 based Wink

the following AGP models are R420 based:

Mobillity Radeon 9800
X800SE
X800 Pro
X800 XT
X800 XT PE

the following PCI-E models are R423 based:
X800SE
X800 Pro
X800 XT
X800 XT PE

The following AGP as PCI-E are R430 based:
X800
X800XL

though the X800 and X800XL were based on the X850 series aka R481 for AGP and R480 for PCI-E Wink
