ATI Radeon X1600XT Review [Review, sudhian]
ATI announced the X1600XT back in October with the rest of the X1000 series lineup. It was a disappointing paper launch and took a while before any of the X1000 series cards were available. Always overshadowed by ATI’s high-end the X1600XT rarely saw much attention from online media. However, with mass availability of X1600XT cards ATI is working hard to get the word across about their mid-range graphics card. The question is how well it stacks up to its direct competitor the 6600GT or even the last generation high end 6800GT. Keep reading as we put the X1600XT through everything from gaming to HQV Benchmark DVD tests—is it the perfect mid-range gaming, home theater PC, and/or workstation solution?

PowerColor X1900 XT -- 48 Horsemen [Review, Bjorn3D]
The late introduction of R520 had caused ATI to speed up the introduction of
its new products. Going by how the company handles kicker products, most of us
assumed it would be just that; a refresh of the older SKUs. All in all, it was
a hasty and wrongful assumption. ATI had been actually cooking something tasty
for us – R580 which has been in production since November 30th 2005. Mon, 13 Feb, 2006 | 2 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
The Radeon X1900 [Preview, Bjorn3D]

means it isn’t a paper-launch. Mon, 13 Feb, 2006 | 2 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
XFX GeForce 7800 GS AGP Review [Review, Bjorn3D]

ATI's Radeon X1900 Heats Up With 48 Shader Units [Review, tomshardware]
For the consumer, the constant launch of new products makes it that much less expensive to obtain better hardware. When major launches still were six months apart, you had to wait a long time for the newest and greatest. For those in the mainstream, like most are, you would have a lot of time to save up for the previous generation to drop in price, but this is no longer the case. The wait between NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 GTX and Radeon X1800XT was the last time we saw this. Even that would have been shorter if ATI had not run into the circuitry issues they had with R520.

Squeezing Value Out of Lower-End Cards [Roundup, tomshardware]
We have received numerous queries about inexpensive graphics cards and how they stack up against high-end cards. For example, do games run at reasonable frame rates or does it look like the print screen button on the keyboard were stuck in the down position?

The GeForce 7800GS Shows AGP Ain't Dead Yet [Review, tomshardware]
The graphics world has been on fire for the past year. Over the span of three months we have seen new top cards play tug-o-war for the flag on their side. This is a fantastic thing for the consumer as it drives prices down. However, what about those who still own an AGP motherboard? These enthusiasts have been forced to hope and pray that AIB (Add-In-Board) vendors will take these PCIe parts and cross the technological crevasse to AGP.
