AMD has officially released the X1650XT, as expected, for the upper reaches of the mid-range market. The reference card uses the new RV560, which is clocked at 575MHz, features 24 pixel shader units, and 256MB of GDDR 3 video memory that runs at an effective 1,350MHz. The cards come with dual DVI-D outputs, an S-video connector, and support for the HDCP anti-piracy system - handy for folk with HDMI-equipped screens. The X1650XT is available immediately for $149.

This would be nice for AGP customers if they made one... similar power to the X800 at a fair price and with SM3

Is this the first card that AMD has claimed as their own?

No. ATI is part of AMD. So AMD is the main company and decides whether they would wanan release that card. Thus they said AMD has blah blah something like that

Speaking of ATI/AMD I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be a driver release planned for this month from ATI unless they're releasing it on the last day... seems unusual, this time last year they were released between the 8th and 12th of each month IIRC.

This card performs on the lines of the 7600GT, they are pretty even. Except when it comes to the price. Unless this thing is have driver issues or can be overclocked for some rlly nice performance it is not gonna sell to well.
