Prices are still unvailable? What's the point of making these two new x1050 and x1550? do they support dx10? are they worth to buy bc of ddr2 128 bit?

Wile E · Jan 18, 2007

I think these are just replacements for the X1300 Hypermemory and the X1300. not DX10 cards.

ah I see. Also, can ddr2 128 bit give you a second thought of getting one of these cards? it seems to be to me.

Whats the point? Just get an X1300XT or an X1650 pro.

I could see the 1050 being good for a HTPC, as it is passively cooled. Should be stupid cheap, too. Other than that, I don't see the point, personally.

well most x1300s are passive cooled anyway, so I really don't see any huge benifits here. I am currently toughing it out with an x1300, but then again I uninstalled all of my games lol. Does anyone have some dates on dx 10 cards lineup launch?

This is pretty much, on the X1050 front, like integrated graphics. I guess they have to cater to all parties, though I must admit, Im not a fan of shared graphics memory.

It has 256 on board. I think using shared memory is an option, not 100% tho.

PCIe x1 cards, very nice, very nice.

true, from what ive read on those physx cards, the 1550 would still be way more powerful for physics, if ati enable this card when they release physics drivers, this could prove a great solution for people without a spare full size slot (most people) or people running sli/crossfire already

bruins004 · Jan 18, 2007

Show me the R600s already.
Stop coming out with these re-named cards that suck ass.
Come on already ATI, show me the real stuff.

RickyG512 · Jan 18, 2007

as long as this replaces the x1300 price its good

r600 gt should be cheap and i hope the r600 xtx is the same price as the x1900xtx and x1950xtx launch price

LonGun · Jan 19, 2007

I mean look at the Gforce 8800. some stores even had it for $800-$900. the R600 will be the same since it'll be ATI first graphic card that supports dx10.

largon · Jan 19, 2007

The GPU on X1050 is RV370 built originally for X300 and X550 series.
Imo it's pretty shady to label these ancient pieces of cr_p as if they had anything to with X1k series.

The RV516 GPU on X1550 is actually a somewhat revised RV515 (X1300) built on 80nm instead of 90nm.

LonGun · Jan 20, 2007

I'm wondering if people need of the use of the Physix card. Isn't it made for sudden games that support it? As for the Physix card it self + the cost I think it's too much. I also believe Gfx cards will have physix build-in it in the future... maybe the 8900s or R650s

You don't have to build a GPU to support physics processing, all it needs is driver support. Atleast Radeon X1k series is fully capable of physics crunching, the (pixel) shaders on R5_0 generation GPUs are programmable meaning they can be used to calculate pretty much anything the user wants and drivers allow.

People have been using X1900-series cards for Folding@Home for sometime already.
