X1950GT are made from RV570LE (chips that fail the heat test)
Im sure with a decent cooler than thing could reach 1950pro speeds...well thats my guess.
X1950GT has already been released in china, in china they are cheaper than 7600GTs LOL (Yet more powerful, too many variants in china these days >_>).
X1950GT = Dongle-less crossfire, it is still a great midrange performer (I think some pipes are locked). Basically its the same great core but at lower clocks (with water cooling you'd probably clock around X1950PRO speeds). Sapphire better make a better (pun intended) cooler for their X1950GTs.
Guys who want midrange, buy this... its a powerful GPU at a cheap price, especially the chinese brands... who knows what you are going to find for the cooler *Screams to the sky: I found a mini-sized freezer 64 on one of them!!! Except its flat!*
And the X1950GT have nothing locked:rockout:
I want to get two x1950GTs and run them in crossfire mode.
I would hate to get a 3200 MOBO then find out the GTs were not compatible with it in Crossfire mode.
