The one thing the x1950 pro has going for it is internal crossfire. The x1950xt can do it with software but reviewers have stated that the performance hit is to great and recommend it towards a single card solution especially since it only has 256mb mem and you'd lose half the frame buffer paired with the x1950 CF card that also has DDR4; thats a sweet card too, Newegg has an open box one for just around 300bucks.

Well me and my friend have decided to go with the 1900xt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814142085

in every bench i could find it beats the 1950pro and the 7950gt i warned him that stock cooler sounds like a blow drier (same design as the one came with my x850xtpe) but he said that don't bother him and he don't plan on using it for CF because like i stated hes planing on doing a new REALLY expensive build towards the end of 2007 for $214 that is a hell of a deal

Thanks for you help guys and the Plope thanks you too :rockout:
