ATI has finally released the much anticipated X1900 series cards. Although based on the R520 X1800 architecture, there are some significant changes that greatly improve performance in newer 'shader heavy' games like FEAR among others.

Looks like this was a hard launch, and the cards are avaliable all over.

Lots of review links can be found here:

Some of these benchmark results are very impressive!

    I wonder how it performs in low res settings liek normal gamers play at? maybe 2% of gamers play at that res :)

    I just checkout all the bench marks, and it looks to be 70% 30% at the normal res settings! with nvidia leading! sure if your going super performance than the 1900XTX is going to be better! but I do give kudos to ATI for catching up "finally"

    Doesn't seem to scale much either when adding on AA or resolution. Buut I noticed at anandtech that the results for BF2 was strange that the crossfire version got beat by the single card version of 1900xtx.

    Pretty good for ATI!! I am still a bit flaky on ATI though, these reviews(I haven't actually read through them since I am at work) seem too good to be true.
