Today Guru of 3D will have a look at ATI's all new Crossfire lovin. Yes a Radeon X1650 XT Crossfire article, and included the X1950 Pro Crossfire results as well. Ever since NVIDIA released the GeForce 7600 GS/GT cards earlier this year ATI has had a very rough time delivering a product that offers the same performance. They constantly were close but not close enough. ATI worked hard to finish up its new 80 nanometer products and despite a delay of all the 80 nanometer chips, it is finally ready in good quantities. The Radeon X1950 Pro for example is such a product. Over the the next pages we'll start off with a little technical information on the new mid-range placed Radeon X1650 XT and in the higher segment of mid-range, the Radeon X1950 Pro. We will discuss it's pricing, we'll trip the cards down followed by a little exotic photo shoot, after which we'll startup a large benchmark session to see how well it behaved performance wise in both Single card and Crossfire modes.
