Gainward marks its comeback to the Asian market with its first ever ATI product. And what could be more appropriate than to launch a Golden Sample of ATI's hottest property now, the Radeon X1950 PRO. Find out if Gainward manages to get the full potential out of this overclocked 512MB version.

They included an analog VGA port! Right On! Hopefully it has the same nice Analog filter that ATI cards with VGA ports did, so CRT users can get a clearer, cleaner signal.

I got a 1950 AGP with dual DVI's and my CRT has considerably more "noise" on screen because the card lacks any sort of Analog filter, being all digital. So I have had to switch to a BNC cable to help with the distortion and ghosting, but it is still not as nice an image as I had before.

It is a nice throwback for Analog users to see that VGA port. Now, if they would only make an AGP version, I'd give up my Sapphire 512 for one of these in a heart beat.
