Is the successor to the Radeon X1950 Pro coming?

According to DailyTech, the Radeon HD 2000 family will soon add a new member in the third quarter.

The GPU, referred to as the RV670, is likely to fill the gap between the HD 2600 XT and the HD 2900 XT, both in terms of performance and price. Although this information has not yet been officially confirmed, the fact is that AMD is in dire need of the RV570, the successor to the X1950 Pro, if it is to fight NVIDIA successfully in the DirectX 10 video card market.

The successor to the Radeon X1950 Pro is coming

As our readers have seen from various tests, the HD 2900 XT can only compete with the GeForce 8800 GTS in performance, while the version with 1GB of GDDR4 graphics memory is not enough progress to successfully challenge NVIDIA's top cards , with the 8800 GTX and the Ultra.

After that, everyone expected the HD 2400 and HD 2600 VGAs to beat NVIDIA, but based on the performance in the tests, we had to be very disappointed here as well, and AMD had to post another failure against the members of the GeForce 8400/8500/8600 series. . Although the failure of the Radeons can be attributed to the failure of even immature drivers, it is certain that for the time being only the better price is in favor of AMD products.
