Sapphire X1950 PRO Dual is just what the name implies, a graphics card with dual Radeon X1950Pro circuits and is similar to NVIDIA’s GeForce 7950GX2 that was launched during the autumn of 2006. Sapphire has published a press release stating that it will present its dual GPU graphics card during CES in Las Vegas. Sapphire has managed to put two graphics circuits together while both are working at 580MHz with two 512MB memory buffers, adding up to 1GB graphics memory working at 1400MHz. The card can be fitted into any PCIe X16 slot and according to Sapphire two of these cards will work in a Quad-GPU configuration with ATI’s CrossFire motherboard. Just as other top models of the Radeon family the card occupies two expansion slots.
There is no detailed information available, nor a price, but that is something we will get back to as soon as there is. At the same time we’re looking forward seeing how an internal CrossFire solution works with AMD/ATI’s graphics circuits.
