Introduction



With its midrange price tag and high-end pedigree it's no wonder the Radeon X1950 Pro is proving to be a popular card with manufacturers. The RV570, with its 36 pixel processors, 8 vertex shaders, and fast GDDR3 memory all stitched together on a 256-bit bus gives it serious power at a 1280x1024 resolution.

We already know that a low-priced Radeon X1950 Pro fares favourably against the GeForce 7900GS. The ASUS EAX1950PRO/HDTP/256M ships with a non-reference heatpipe cooler and is priced favourably - but does it do the job? Read on and find out.
