Test Setup and Performance
Now that we've looked at ATI's video quality, lets take a look at the AIW X1900's gaming performance. We found that due to the low clock speed of the AIW X1900, the performance of this card is much closer in comparison to NVIDIA's 7800 GT than to an X1900. This isn't as surprising when you consider the engine clock is 125MHz lower and the memory clock 200MHz lower than the X1800 XT. Here is the test hardware we used: (Note that we run our benchmarks with sound disabled)

I am going to be in market for such a card come this summer. This card looks to foot the bill and the price should come down by then. Very nice!
