Recognizing this fact, ATI has priced the new card at an aggressive $450. If this card had come out a year ago, it could easily have been priced between $500 and $600, since it's the fastest single-chip card on the market. If you need 3D performance now and don't want to spring for Nvidia's $600 two-chip GeForce 7950 GX2, the Radeon X1950 XTX is your next best option. But $450 is still a lot of money, so as we said about the GeForce 7950 GX2, we say about the Radeon X1950 XTX: great card, but you're better off waiting for the next-gen products if you're concerned about longevity and price.
