Ati has recently introduced the new series of his graphic cards PCI EXPRESS, called Radeon X1000. In fact we found the X1300,  X1600 and x1800 models. From a  few days another one has joined: the X1900. The first one represents the entry-level solution, X1600 and X1800-X1900 are respectively considered the mainstream and high-end solutions.
With these new gpus, Ati has also introduces Avivo, a new technology that allow to increase quality and performances about video files management like DVD. We will analiyze this features later.

Now we are going to compare two new solution by sapphire (X1600XT  and X1800XL) vs the X850XT.  The next table shows the features of our graphic cards.

First of all we’ll take a look about the new architecture, at the Avivo Technology and High Dynamic Range with Anti-Aliasing and High Quality AF and Adaptive Anti-Aliasing (AAA).
