New ULTIMATE EDITION makes X1950 PRO Quieter and Faster
Exciting new Retail package with full version 'JUST CAUSE' game
Yes - the ULTIMATE is back with the exciting new edition of the X1950 PRO from SAPPHIRE. Adding the highly acclaimed Zalman Heatpipe cooler to the award-winning Radeon X1950 PRO graphics architecture sets SAPPHIRE ahead again in the price-performance wars - and the retail bundle will also include the full version of the new game, 'JUST CAUSE'.
The SAPPHIRE ULTIMATE X1950 PRO is around 5% faster than the standard X1950 PRO version (depending on the application), and the quiet and efficient Zalman Heatpipe cooler and discrete memory heatsinks give enthusiasts the scope for further performance tuning. It looks cool too - with colour coordinated blue PCB, fan and memsinks!
SAPPHIRE's X1950 PRO series delivers high-definition entertainment with stunningly fast gaming performance, industry-leading image quality and crystal clear High Definition digital video at a new and very affordable price point. With an extensive set of image quality features like simultaneous HDR with adaptive anti-aliasing and a palette of over one billion colours, the SAPPHIRE X1950 PRO enables users to get the most out of their gaming experiences.
The new "plug-and-play" CrossFire™ configuration makes upgrading easy. By adding a second X1950 PRO series graphics card on a suitable CrossFire mainboard platform, users can achieve a significant boost to gaming performance. New internal CrossFire bridge cables (supplied) deliver full 24-bit high speed data exchange for maximum performance. No special Master card is required - the software driver automatically detects the dual GPU configuration, making installation easy.
SAPPHIRE X1950 PRO series natively supports HDCP and features the highly acclaimed Avivo™ High Definition video and display technology, delivering a better quality home theatre viewing experience than most consumer systems.
