Review: Virtual Hideout
_______________
A few weeks back, I reviewed the ASUS EAX1650XT. Now, I have another new graphics card released from ASUS - the EAX1950PRO CROSSFIRE. This card has 256MB of DDR3, and uses the new RV570 GPU. This new design from ATI is geared to the budget/mid-level gamer, and being marketed under $200 makes the card very affordable. What makes this card different from their non-Crossfire card? Nothing. The CF model from ASUS comes with two CrossFire bridges in the box. This is how ASUS markets the cards, while other companies include only one CF bridge in each box. The new internal CrossFire bridges eliminates the messy external dongle system of old. Lets get on with the review and benchmarks and see how well it compares to some other cards.
