The new Radeon X1900 series shares the same overall architecture and features that the Radeon X1800 series boasts, but the core now has one significant change – more shader processors. To be precise, it now has 48 pixel shader processors, triple that in the original Radeon X1800 series and double that of the GeForce 7800 GTX. Take note that the 48 pixel shader processors do not equate to 48 pixel shader pipelines. Both ATI and NVIDIA have approached their GPU architectures differently and they no longer equip their cores with equal number of processing units with the pixel pipeline.

 

Will the X1900XT be able to stand up to the challenge that is the 7900GT? You can read the review at hardwarezone to find out!
