GeCube was showing a number of unique video cards this year at its exhibit. Despite the absence of a new GPU from ATI, GeCube was still able to come up with some interesting products to put on display that are different from what other manufacturers are offering.
Pictured above is a Radeon X1950XT card that uses an AGP 8x interface, something no other AIB partner of ATI is selling. The operating frequencies are identical to the PCI Express versions of the card, and it comes guaranteed to work at an overclocked GPU frequency of 675 MHz, up from 648 MHz. The cooling system, which is based on a TEC system, features a heatpipe technology heatsink and dual cooling fans.


The first time GeCube showed its own card with two ATI GPUs on the same PCB was at Cebit 2006. After one year the product has matured considerably throughout development, primarily thanks to the use of two Radeon X1650XT GPUs in place of the original X1600PRO GPUs. The unique aspect of this card is that when the two GPUs are connected to each other using Crossfire (still one board though), the card supports a total of 4 DVI connectors for external displays meaning that it is possible to have a quad-monitor setup using only a single video card.

The last novelty presented by GeCube was the above card based on the Radeon X1950XT GPU. The PCI Express 16x card, however, doesn’t use the standard Radeon X1950XT PCB, but instead uses the X1950PRO PCB. The use of the X1950PRO PCB allows the card to support Native Crossfire, which means a master/slave card along with the external Crossfire dongle is no longer needed.
