ATI planned to release its Radeon X1900 GTO cards by the end of the month April and, at least according to a few partners those plans will have to be put on hold. We know that most ATI partners already sold out of all their Radeon X1800 GTO cards, based on the R520 chip, and it is about time we saw R580 based Radeon X1900 GTO cards. The Radeon X1900 GTO is even more expensive to produce, but it is meant to hold its space until the new golden kids named RV560 and RV570 come to market. ATI simply wants to shake up NVIDIA's mainstream dominancy and it is doing it fine. Or it would be. We don't know when ATI will be ready to ship the Radeon X1900 GTO but we're guessing on the first weeks of May.

Next to that also some rumors have been picked up about a Radeon X1900 GT
video card. ATI is set to release
a single slot Radeon X1900 GT with 36 pixel shaders. The card is in effect, a
cut-down version of the Radeon X1900 XTX and is positioned to go toe-to-toe with
NVIDIA's popular GeForce 7900
GT in performance and in price. The Radeon X1900 GT is to be expected due to
release soon and would normally come with a 575MHz core and 1200MHz memory clock
speed. Samples are already apparently shipping to certain vendors and media. The
Radeon X1900 GT will only require a single slot cooling solution.
