“The numbers really do speak for themselves: the X1900XTX is an
incredible part.”

“If you want the fastest performing video cards right now that
provide the highest level of image quality in games, it doesn’t
get any better than the Radeon X1900 XT and XTX.”
HardOCP.com
“We can say without reservation that, across a variety of games,
the XTX is the fastest graphics card on the market.”
Extremetech.com
“Without a doubt, the Radeon X1900 XTX is the fastest graphics
processor to grace the PC Perspective test bench.”
PCPer.com
“Well, it looks like the Radeon X1900 XTX has earned the title
of the fastest single video card known to man.”

"Forty-eight pixel shaders units, 512MB of the fastest GDDR3 memory
around available fired off at that impressive ring-bus memory
controller and give or take 380 Million transistors to make sure you get
the
best ranking performance and on-screen and in-game quality ever
produced on
screen. This is the most screaming fast 3D consumer graphics card
ever made with the most complex but most of all impressive graphics
core architecture
I've ever seen."
Hilbert Hagerdoorn @ Guru3D
"A Terra-FLOP of processing capability was once held as nirvana for supercomputing power, but with Radeon X1900 Crossfire this level of programmable is available on the humble home computer... and its all used to push pixels in games like Doom 3!"
“…X1900 is the fastest single core graphics board we've come
across…”
Dave Baumann @ Beyond 3D
"In terms of dual-GPU-performance the new Crossfire set a new mark
and beats comparable SLI-Configurations by up to 18 percent. When comparing
Super-AA against SLI-AA this advantage widens to an impressive maximum
of 86 percent."
Carsten Spille, PC Games Hardware, 3/ 2006
"The Radeon X1900XT-X now has the edge over NVIDIA's top product...NVIDIA
has to catch up with ATI not only in performance, but with some interesting
features as well."
Antal Tungler, PC World Hungary
“"Even at the first sight the 48 shader units seems to be
not a big speed increase, in shader intense modern games (more likely
the ones popping up with Unreal Engine III and other brand new state-of-the-art
shader intense engines) it will be adding a leap forward in graphical
quality and speed... "
George Dragon, Gamestar Hungary
“With the X1900 family ATI has three winners for now: the X1900XTX
as king of the hill, the X1900XT as the best buy at the high-end
and the new AIW as the best value for money.”
Rosta Gabor, CHIP Hungary
"The X1900XTX has the pure power to outperform the strongest competitor,
the GeForce7800GTX 512 even if it doesn't have as high memory clock
speed as the nVidia's one. Expanding the pixel shader engine was
a good and
future-proof idea, so with the upcoming games we will see more-and-more
power from this GPU. In a VGA test beside the speed, features and
stability the pricing and the availability are also key things,
where ATI has some
real advantages. When the test was made it was impossible to find
any 7800GTX 512 in the market in contrast to the X1900XT which was
already at the distributors. The pricing of the new models are fine, and
the just
bellow 500 EU All-in-Wonder X1900 could be a very good buy for those
who are not just looking for a very strong 3D VGA card but for a
TV tuner
and good video features as well."
Martin Erdos, Computer Panorama,
Hungary
“With Radeon 1900XTX ATI revealed their cards. And with all we’ve
seen, it is clear that ATI holds pair of aces and ambition to create
the rules of the game. Exploitation of the powerful R580 GPU will
demand certain
adaptation from developers and their acceptance of the fact that
ATI made the GPU powerful enough that even the most complex shaders
needed for
next level of CG realism are processed without any problems.”

Magazine, Serbia
”
If you're looking for a graphic board for gaming on your 24-inch
widescreen, the X1900XTX is the one to have."
Jeroen de Jager @ ComputerTotaal
"The board is fantastic and brings real performance gain over what
NVIDIA has to offer right now, far bigger than what we've seen with
X1000 series over 7800GTX a few months ago. But the real performance
of X1900
series will only be unleashed once the new games will start using
R580's advanced features”
XtremPC, Romania
“X1900 XTX manages to beat GeForce 7800 GTX 512 in majority of
benchmarks…but the fact is that true strength of this card will
be revealed in the future. Its advanced architecture is better suited
for SM3.0 shader heavy code present in the upcoming games and that judging
by that, X1900 XTX is the card to choose if you are aiming for maximum
performance.”
BUG Magazine, Croatia
“In our opinion, X1900 will really shine in the future, when all
those new SM3.0 shader heavy games come to market.”
PC Ekspert, Croatia
"The X1900 systems (X19 Crossfire and XTX) have no trouble achieving
playable frame rates at 1600x1200 with 4aa and 16af. In fact the X1900
cards are the first we have ever tested which are completely playable
at that setting in F.E.A.R. Even on the single XTX the frame rate never
dropped below 25fps."
