Mmm GDDR4 memory. And I have say that cooler just looks awesome. Supposedly they modeled it after HIS's ICEQ coolers which will be much better compared to those things they call coolers on the X1800/X1900 cards.

That cooler is a lot better than the typical slot coolers they have now. Wonder which way the air flows through it...

They also said
"The new Radeon X1900 is a low-cost version of the existing Radeon X1900 that only uses 256MB of GDDR3, enabling the card access to the $300 price point. The Radeon X1900XT 256MB will use the same clock frequencies as other Radeon X1900XT cards: 625MHz core and 1.45GHz memory."

Lower priced highend cards ftw!

I'm wondering how the X1900GT will do with that cheap version of the X1900XT since a lot of the GTs are really in the $300 range and would not perform as well. I'm thinking maybe we'll see their prices drop.
