COMMENT - "Even using high quality settings the performances of the HIS Radeon x1900 XT and Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro don't change a great deal. The HIS Radeon x1900 XT is able to slightly increase it's performance advantage over the Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro by 15% to 26%. The HIS Radeon x1900 XT is still able to run Supreme Commander at all of the resolutions and still deliver more than 30fps which is very good."

COMMENT - "The HIS Radeon x1900 XT puts in some good performances and although it doesn't wipe the floor with the Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro when the game needs the extra speed the HIS Radeon x1900 XT can deliver. The HIS Radeon x1900 XT wouldn't be a good upgrade from the Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro because of the small performance difference but the HIS Radeon x1900 XT would be a great upgrade for people using video cards like the x1600/x1650 or x1800 range!"
