    It is a very capable card that can play some pretty demanding games at reasonably high settings and still produce playable frame rates

    Must Have Hardware

    "The X1650 XT really was a nice card to start with. It uses a new core that really shows it perforance in a mid level card. The price is really a plus at around $150.00…..For the price though you just can't pass up this card. Its got to be one of the cheapest ways to get a CrossFire setup out there now."
