We took a look at a trio of ATI Radeon X1650 Pro retail cards a few months' ago and surmised that the RV530 architecture, comprising of a 5/4/4 (VS/PS/ROP) configuration and clocked in at 594/1386 core/memory, had a hard time cutting it at around the £90 mark, especially with NVIDIA's GeForce 7600 GS/GT cards providing stern competition and, frankly, a better, more compelling architecture. ATI quietly slipped in the Radeon X1650 XT (RV560) just over a couple of weeks' ago and logical thinking would presume it's a faster-clocked X1650 Pro, right? Nope..
