Zozio 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) First I would like to say hi ya'll as this is my first topic. Lets see a little about myself... I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and am an avid hardware enthusiast (if you have any questions about hardware, feel free to give me a pm). Being a hardware enthusiast you may find that many of my topics to be hardware related, often linking to other sites (such as this one does). I hope that you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy posting them . Current GeForce 7900GT cards retail for just over $300. Vendors tell us pricing has not been officially announced, but that every sign seems to indicate that the X1900 GT will show up priced at or below that $300 magic mark. Since the Radeon X1900 GT is based on the R580 ASIC, there is already talk that an "unlock" might be in the works to convert an X1900 GT into a full blown X1900 XT. Coupled with good heat sink solutions, and ATI's new stance on overclocking, the Radeon X1900 GT might be the next killer card this summer.- Daily TechAny ways back to the originial purpose of my post. As we all know the hardware race between nvidia and ati has been a tight one. Ati is probably intending to take the mid-high range crown with the release of the x1900gt. On some the other forums that I am a member of there is much speculation of whether the x1900gt will be able to unlock to a x1900xt (as they are based upon the same chip). If this is possible the x1900gt may become the new x800gto2 which unlocks to a x850xt at only $150. If this is a case it could become a hot item to buy. I'll keep you posted on any updates. Any other speculations?Edit: Oops... Sorry mods. I didn't realise there was a hardware forum. Please delete this post as I will be posting this in the proper forum.
