A new x1950pro from Sapphire?

ace80 · May 23, 2007

I just saw this newly listed Sapphire x1950pro on microdirect - http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=17481&source=MDnewsletter
Now it says it has 1Gb Gddr3 in the description then further down 256mb then again 1Gb :confused:

I know Wizz reviewed a dual gpu sapphire x1950 a while back, so is this it?
It makes no suggestion that this is a dual gpu card and from the pic its hard to tell, also the cooler seems to be a bit lame.
The thing i notice most of all is the price tag £258!! :eek:

, you can get a spanking new HD2900xt for that, so who in their right mind will fork out for this?

I just looked on Sapphire's site, and the card you linked appears to be nothing more than a massively overpriced 256MB Pro. The 1GB has to be a typo, or it is a dual, and the whole description is a typo.

I have seen this as well.

I really don't understand the price unless this is actually the dual model.
