ATI Vendor Supplied Radeon X1950XTX Benchmarks Leaked

The benchmarks compare ATI’s Radeon X1950XT in CrossFire against NVIDIA’s Quad SLI. The test setup used for NVIDIA’s Quad SLI is a Dell XPS 700 system equipped with an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800, 1GB of DDR2-800 memory and two GeForce 7950GX2 graphics cards for four total GPUs. The ATI CrossFire test system is identical with the Quad SLI system except the nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition motherboard was swapped out for an early Radeon Xpress 3200 (RD600) motherboard and two ATI Radeon X1950XTX/CrossFire graphics cards.

If these benchmarks are realistic, then it will be a superb competitor to the GX2. According to the results, the 1950XTX even beat out Quad-SLI at the highest resolutions available today. It’s hard to believe at this point, but as always, time will soon tell.
