With the Radeon X1950 XT 256MB now retailing for just over £140, it has been pushed into a different price bracket. Does the drastic price drop make the Connect3D X1950 XT 256MB one to consider while we're all waiting for DirectX 10 games and mid-range next-generation hardware to turn up?

"The Radeon X1950 XT 256MB is ideally suited to deliver great performance at 1280x1024 with maximum details and high levels of anti-aliasing. In addition, it’s also capable of pushing out the frames frequently enough to enjoy games at 1600x1200 too. However, both the short and longer term benefits you’ll get from GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB at 1600x1200 make it a better contender for running games at that resolution and, in the long term, it’s probably worth investing that extra £50 into if you can afford it.
