Power Color works on X1950 AGP

POWER COLOR might be one of the first companies to launch a RV570 based AGP card. We wrote about ATI reference AGP design based on this chip a while back, but it is time to see them on the market, powered by Rialto.

The Radeon X1950 PRO 256MB AGP is clocked at 600MHz core speed and 1400MHz GDDR3, 256 bit memory. It has dual DVI ports and a HDTV interface. The card uses an AGP 8X bus and has 36 Shader units. Just like its PCIe brother it uses Arctic cooling massive fan and as a matter of fact it is clocked the same. You can read about the PCIe card here.

It will sell for around $249 and be available in retail and etail in four weeks. You can learn more about this card here and it's good to know that Avivo has finally arrived AGP, and uses the new R5x0 generation of GPU. It should be the fastest ATI gaming AGP card to date. µ
