ATI has changed its plans for the launch of its new R580+ based cards. We already reported that ATI plans to call the product the Radeon X1950 series and some details about the cardw have already been revealed. There will be different versions, just like with the previous series. And there will be a CrossFire edition matching the XTX specifications. That would be a change as previously the CrossFire edition was clocked similar to the XT version. ATI wanted to announce the card on the 23rd August at the Games Convention in Leizpig, but these things change. ATI has way too many Radeon X1900 generation cards that it wants to clear out before it comes out with a new card.

The sale of Radeon X1900 is great and the yields are good, we're told. The trouble is that as soon as ATI launches the Radeon X1950 generation it has to slash the price of the Radeon X1900 cards. The other side of the coin is that the company wants to ramp up the volumes. It's a cat and mouse game. Dates are set to change, and that is what they will always do, to meet certain requirements from the different parties involved. As it stands now the Radeon X1950 series might once again be a paper launch with the actual cards being available at a later stage. Again a wait and see for all ATI fans.
