In an effort to stress the complete support of AMD/ATI-based graphic cards for the Windows Vista platform, TUL Corp has announced the PowerColor X1550 in PCI-E, AGP, and Silent Cooling System (SCS) variations.

The Silent Cooling System edition of X1550 comes with the same specifications as the standard version.

The PowerColor X1550 features a factory overclocked core of 600MHz, memory speed of 400MHz (800MHz effective), and 256MB of DDR2 RAM.

As is with the X1K series, the PowerColor X1550 is CrossFire ready, and supports DirectX 9c, Open GL 2.0, and Shader Model 3.0; allowing anti-aliasing with HDR. The Avivo engine ensures accelerated video decode and encode of latest video formats, and support for high-definition (HD) videos.

PowerColor X1550 specifications are: factory overclocked from 550MHz to 600MHz; CrossFire ready; support for DirectX 9c, Open GL 2.0, and Shader Model 3.0; simultaneous anti-aliasing with HDR for smooth graphics; H.264 playback with ATI's Avivo Video- & Display Engine; and Windows Vista ready.

Ted Chen, CEO of TUL Corp, says, "The X1550 is an extremely important model, as it becomes the easiest way of upgrading existing systems to running Windows Vista."

The PowerColor X1550 is immediately available.

Ok TT thanks for informing. The point is this I've been searching Lamigton Road for the past 3 months to find either a X1650Pro which y'all reviewed or a X1300XT. To no avail I gave up. I went to almost every shop & the situation became such that the dealer to whom everyone calls for the card & price came on the phone & gave me a whacking saying the card which u want is not even launched & go home! What rude behaviour. TT if you were kind enough to let me/us know from where the heck can I buy a X1650Pro? I am so desperate for a ATI card TT that you can sell me the card which u reviewed & I will buy it at the brand new price. So pls TT before rubbing salt in my wounds with new ATI cards please tell me where can I buy these new ATI cards first! Thanking you in anticipation. And no whatever I said is not a joke I'm 100% serious here. Thank you again TT.

why does ATI keep throwing out all these directx 9 cards. Everyone clearly wants a dx10 card from ATI so we have a different choice from the Nvidia 8800. No point of buying this card because it will be coming useless very quickly. Yeah an curtis look in the first paragraph. it does talk about AGP and PCI-e!

This article is absolutely pointless. It does not tell the consumer whether it is AGP or PCI or PCI-E. Most consumers will assume that it will work in their systems and waste their money. Shame on Google for advertising for a company that discloses no revelvent information/incomplete data.

Rediculous! If this part was Direct X10 compliant then I'd call it "Vista Ready". Actually there's no difference between this part and current DX9 based cards... "The X1550 is an extremely important model, as it becomes the easiest way of upgrading existing systems to running Windows Vista."... This is a very (seemingly almost intentionally) misleading and irresponsible statement from their CEO. Any CURRENT DX9 card (which this is) will display Vista just fine. This is a predatory advertisement/"article" preying on those less tech-savvy. Save your money for an NVIDIA G80 or ATI R600 based card, (both TRUELY Vista ready = DX10 compliant)
