News pages usually concentrate on the showy next-generation graphics chips, but the ones that really fly off the shelves are the £100-£150 workhorses. The original Sapphire X1950 Pro was one of the better cards at this price level. So how does the fi...
We like the X1950 Pro Ultimate, and the improved cooling system makes the extra cost just about worth it. However, it’s still a fairly expensive card compared with the GeForce 7900 GS, and given that the GeForce remains fairly close on performance...

With so many high-performance, budget and mid-range graphics cards available - GeForce 7900 GS and 7950 GT, Radeon X1950 Pro and XT - finding the right one can be a nightmare. The Sapphire is wearing some pretty big britches by going under the Radeon X...

We took a look at Sapphires standard Radeon X1950 Pro card right over here. We surmised that the RV570 architecture, boasting 36 pixel processors, 8 vertex shaders, and fast GDDR3 memory hooked up via a 256-bit bus, were the hallmarks of high-end und...
Our thinking on Radeon X1950 Pro remains pretty much the same as at launch, that is, it brings high-end performance into the midrange space. £130 or so will buy you a retail, reference-clocked model that showcases all thats good about RV570. Sapphire...

A while back we reviewed the Power Color X1950 Pro Extreme card at Driver Heaven, which proved to be a very good performing mid-sector card with quiet and efficient cooling. Now the time has come to its Sapphire counter part The Sapphire Ultimate X195...
In our previous X1950Pro review my colleague Peter Gracar mentioned the pros and cons of purchasing a X1950Pro card now when new DX10 hardware is around the corner (as well as the already released Nv 8800 series). He also mentioned that the price/perf...

Not very long ago I reviewed the Sapphire X1950XTX 512MB graphics card. Just a few weeks later, I received a new version of the 1950 series of cards to review. The model for review this time around is the Sapphire Ultimate X1950PRO 256MB Graphic...
As you can see in the benchmark results, the performed quite well and is really competitive with the X1950XTX, which has 512MB of GDDR4 RAM versus the Pro model of 256MB of GDDR3. I feel that with an extra 256MB of RAM, this wouldve beaten the...

Sapphire introduced their X1950 Pro just a short time ago and they have already updated it with new features. The flat heatsink/fan has been replaced with a cooler from Zalman. They also upped the memory speed which Sapphire claims to increase performa...
Faster memory clock than the X1950 Pro, Upgraded CPU cooler by Zalman, Cooler GPU temps, Lower noise from fan, 5% or more increase in performance...
Almost no overclocking, No manual fan speed control, Newer ATi drivers did not detect faster memory...
Sapphires claim of a 5% increase over the X1950 Pro was for the most part right on the money. Most of the benchmarks showed an increase well above the 5% which brings this card close to the same level as a 7900 GT. If fact this card did beat some of...
