ATI Releases X1900 for PCI-e G5s [Updated]

ATI (now owned by AMD) has announced the X1900 G5 Mac Edition for PCI-e equipped Macs (i.e. Dual-core G5's). The card contains a X1900 GT processing core and has 256 MB of VRAM with two dual-link DVI ports for support of two 30" Apple Cinema Displays. The card also contains S-Video output for connecting TVs sporting the connector.

At the time of this writing, availability and pricing information were not available.

Update: Curiously there remains little information on the card's pricing or availability, and a formal press release has not been issued by AMD/ATI. Xlr8yourmac.com has the card's list price as $349.99, however it is still yet to appear on ATI's online store.

Finally all those poor owners of the until-now neglected PCIe G5's can breathe a sigh of relief. YOU NEED LABOR UNDER THE POOR GEFORCE 6600 NO LONGER!

I guess that puts the rumour that ATI would drop Mac support because its owned by AMD.

Good news! ( I prefer ATi cards to nVid)

More frames in gaming little else from what I can tell. Its a little late to the party with DX10 right around the corner though this is still a good thing. I wonder what the Mac version of this card will cost?

I never thought I would see the day!

Wow! Maybe I should have kept my Power Mac after all...

Although, I still wouldn't be able to play my Windows games on it though...
