Editorial Review:
For outstanding digital entertainment and 3-D graphics, look no further than the Radeon X1600 Pro. The card is designed to transform your PC with astonishing graphics performance and visual quality, creating a lifelike high-definition (HD) viewing experience with 3-D games, DVD movies, and digital photography and video.
 157 million transistors, a 90nm fabrication process; 12 pixel shader processors; 5 vertex shader processors; and 512 MB of 128-bit, 4-channel GDDR3 memory. Sound good? View larger. | Performance, by the Numbers
Under the hood you'll find 157 million transistors on a 90nm fabrication process; 12 pixel shader processors; 5 vertex shader processors; 512 MB of 128-bit, 4-channel GDDR3 memory; and a native PCI Express x16 bus interface. The card also features a ring bus memory controller for 256-bit memory reads, which is optimized for performance at high-display resolutions.
The Radeon X1600 also supports impressive shader performance with Shader Model 3.0--now you can see incredible details never before visible. The X1600 also allows you to experience simultaneous high dynamic range rendering and advanced adaptive anti-aliasing for incredible enhancements to lighting contour and color details. Take the edge off of jagged wires and strands of hair, while experiencing photorealistic lighting.
Home Theater Compatibility
ATI's Avivo technology, which is integrated into the X1600, promises a high-definition visual experience, delivering sharper photos, smoother video, true-to-life image representation, and universal display connectivity for driving HD displays. High-definition images come to life with remarkable clarity and color. Plus, Avivo's universal connectivity allows you to create your ideal display setup. The technology also offers accelerated MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, WMV9, VC-1, and H.264 decoding, encoding, and transcoding. In the display support department you get an integrated dual-link DVI connector, plus compliance with HDMI and HDCP connections. There's even a component output for direct connections to HDTV displays.
 Lose the jaggies! Hardware anti-aliasing makes your games more realistic. | CrossFire: Twice the Fun
With the purchase of a X1600 CrossFire Edition card, your X1600 can be upgraded to take advantage of ATI's CrossFire technology, giving you twice the power to throw at the most demanding games. Based on the same technology used with ATI-based commercial flight simulators, CrossFire soars into a new dimension of graphics capability with multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) working together in your PC. With two X1600 cards installed in your PCI Express-based PC, you can choose from three operating modes. First, Alternate Frame Rendering mode balances GPU tasks between the two cards for optimum performance. There's also a multiple load-sharing Scissor mode for compatibility with all games, as well as a Supertiling mode that divides the screen into multiple sectors that are selectively targeted by the two GPUs, offering the best load balancing between them. Note that to take advantage of CrossFire your computer must have a motherboard that is CrossFire-ready. The Radeon Xpress 200 CrossFire Edition and Intel i955X based dual-slot motherboards are supported platforms.
The ATI Radeon X1600 is here to deliver the ultimate gaming performance. This amazing graphics card will give you outstanding digital entertainment and 3D graphics, through its unique ultra-threaded architecture and Avivo video and display technology. Transform your PC with astonishing graphics performance and visual quality, creating a lifelike High Definition (HD) viewing experience with 3D games, DVD movies, digital photography and digital video. The Radeon X1600 is ideal for the working demands and entertainment pleasures of tomorrow.

Rating:  - Thougths after over a year using...
I had originally tried a cheeper ati card, the 1300 i believe, which had worked fine with games but my benchmark was the visualizer on itunes at high resolution. The 1600 has enough power to display the complex animations without skipping frames most of the time at 1280X1024. (My pc is an hp p4 3 gig machine). I had also discovered later that if i wanted to upgrade to a 30" monitor i could because this card has two video outputs, a definate bonus.
The only drawbacks i have found are ... Read More
Rating:  - ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512 MB PCI Express -- cool
I bought this to work with my new computer so that I could play games like neverwinter nights and hero's of might and magic. It was cheaper than having the graphics card put in the computer and it works great.
Rating: - Great for gaming!!!
