| ASUS EAX1950PRO CROSSFIRE 256MB Graphics Card Review | ||||||||

D3D RightMark 1.05.0
This program is a great tool for testing the throughputs of a graphics processing chip. Below are the results of the Geometry Processing Speed tests, including Fixed Function Pipeline, VS1.1, VS 2.0 SFC (Static Flow Control,) and VS 3.0 DFC (Dynamic Flow Control).
F.E.A.R. Performance Benchmark:
Hardware OC BenchTools:
HardwareOC products basically rely on using simple command line instructions and parameters. However, they are much more subtle and correct than any command lines in a batch file. They spent many hours figuring out how to enable every single feature of a game, features that you can never access from the graphical menu. Hence, HardwareOC Benchmarks can load your hardware with as much work as possible, but this does not affect the really easy and quick-to-use user interface. So the main goal is to understand and analyze each and every hidden feature a game or game engine can provide.
Conclusion:
Before I give my thoughts about the performance of the graphics, I would like to say Hallelujah! A stock GPU cooler that doesn't sound like a 747 getting ready to take off! The fan noise wasn't heard over the other fans in my case, so this is a major plus in my book.
The ASUS graphics card performed well and plays F.E.A.R. and HL2 flawlessly. I didn't come across any performance issues during my benchmarks. Just keep in mind that the CrossFire version of the PRO cards from ASUS have two CrossFire bridges in the package, so don't be worried about needing a master card - those days are done with these newer cards. As for overclocking, these cards have slight headroom to do so, but the performance difference is so little it's not really worth it.
With the ASUS EAX1950PRO and EAX1950PRO CROSSFIRE being under $200 each, the budget gamer will love its performance and price. Plus, for the same price as a 1950XTX, you can buy two 1950PRO's and run them in CrossFire mode and show off to your friends. I would like to thank ASUS for sending out this review card for VH to look at.
