ATi plans one more SKU for the end of the summer. The launch date is still scheduled for 23rd and the card is yet again based on the R580+ core. It won’t be the top notch Radeon X1900 XTX or Crossfire edition, we are talking about a Radeon X1950 XT card.

Radeon X1950 XT will have 256MB of memory and should also work at a 2.0GHz frequency. It will use the fastest GDDR 4 memory and will naturally use a 256 bit interface. This card will likely be ATi's answer to the very sucessful Geforce 7900 GT series and should be in the same price range.

EDIT: Dodatak

ATi plans to keep the X1900 XT alive when it launches the new X1950 XTX and XT cards. Despite the marginal performance difference it won’t get rid of the X1900 XTX and XT cards at once. It will sell them side by side with X1950 cards until supplies last and we are sure ATi has to drop the price of the X1900 cards to keep selling them.

X1950 XTX will be set at an aggressive €399, so it won't be easy to sell the remaining X1900 XTX cards but as we said before the performance difference is only seven per cent. ATi plans to keep both 256 and 512MB versions until it completely gets rid of them and replaces them at some later date.
