‘Today at HotHardware.com, we’re going to take a look at Sapphire’s take on ATI’s flagship, aptly named the Sapphire Radeon X1950 XTX. On the hardware level, there is very little to differentiate this card from ATI’s own branded Radeon X1950 XTX, but Sapphire does sweeten their offering with a more generous accessory bundle and a relatively competitive price.’Here are some more Graphics Card articles from around the web:

HotHardware reviews the Sapphire X1950 XTX, ATI’s current flagship card, and direct competitor with the GeForce 7900 GTX. Unfortunately, they have no card that can take on the 8800 series, but this card offers a different advantage. It is priced about $200 below the 7900GTX, and is a better performer, especially if you decide to go for Crossfire.
