To quickly answer your question even though it's off topic for this forum. The x1950 is quite a bit more powerful. I have an x800xt on one of my computers and i get a lot bit less of a 3dmark06 score than my friends x1950

Call me crazy, but PrinceOfPersia2WarriorWithin looked a lot more beautiful on my 9800pro than on my x1950.

I'm quite convinced of it! I Played thegamefrom start to finish 4-5times... on the same machine, same monitor

Can anyone explain this?? i'v heared similar reports from several posts of other people. is there any chance of the x1950 being inferior in some aspect (in raw horsepower -it royally kicks the 9800's as well as x800/x850's behind w no sweatin')??

I'm not sure, but maybe POP has some Shader Model 3.0 effects that you couldn't see with the Radeon 9800 PRO, like HDR lighting or something. Some people don't like the look of HDR.
