| Connect3D Radeon X1900 GT Video Card Review
Quote:
The X1900 GT is built using an R580 core with one of the quads disabled. This allows ATI to start using up those unused R580 cores that didn't make the grade for X1900XT/X boards. What you end up with is a 36 pixel shader, 12 texture unit, 12 ROP part, that when compared against the 7900 GT appears a little under whelming. The X1900 GT attempts to make up for this with a much higher core clock of 575 MHz - 125 MHz faster than a 7900 GT. Taking everything into consideration, the 7900 GT looks to have the edge on paper, but because of the remarkably different approaches to pipeline configuration here it's actually rather tough to guess the outcome.
