ASUS Extreme AX1900 XT 512MB PCI-E Review

When I received this new card, I stopped in the middle of ripping open the package to take a look at the box art, and let me tell you that this card comes with some artwork! Depicting an armor clad, gun-toting marine, this box is just emanating that hardcore feel. Looking at the card itself, I noticed the sword-toting Ruby depicted on the card's cooler. And what a cooler it is! Unlike most, this is a double wide card, meaning that it takes up two expansion slots, one for the card, and another for the cooler. There is also the second expansion slot for exhaust from the cooler.

The Radeon X1900 XT doesn't differs visually from the XTX and has the same dual slot cooling, with the PCB looking similar. The ASUS Extreme AX1900 XT comes clocked at 625MHz core and 1450MHz memory clock speed, just as the ATI reference design has been set. It features the same ring bus memory controller and a total of 512MB high performance GDDR3 memory. It's a feature rich video card ideal for the gamer as well as the multimedia enthusiast.As you have just seen, this card definitely shines in some aspects. I was a little skeptical at first, since some of the framerates were close to the GeForce 7900 GT.

Regardless of whether it was losing or excelling in some of the tests, or simply holding its own, this Radeon X1900 XT is not a bad performer. A decent price definitely makes this card a great choice. A merger of both performance and cost, this card will make a more than worthwhile upgrade for not only the average user, but also someone who is looking for cutting edge performance. One last thing that I have to point out is that the higher the resolution, the more the ATI shines. Therefore, if you are a gamer that plays at lower resolutions, you may not want to purchase this card as you will not be using it to its full potential.
