Just recently ATI released a new graphics card based on the RV570 chipset, the X1950GT.  ATI seems to be determined to get as much as they can out of the RV570 GPU.  But is it too late to be releasing another DX9 card when nVidia just released budget DX10 cards?  Does DX10 even influence your decision on a card since there are no DX10 games out yet?  With the exception of a few titles coming out this summer, mainstream DX10 gaming is still over a year away.  Let's find out if ATI has enough to sway you from a DX10 purchase with their new X1950GT Super 512MB video card.
