Surprise! Surprise!
According to Dave Stone, Liquid moderator on Avid Forum
The best card for Liquid is the ATI X1650XT. There's actually very little difference in rendering speeds between the X1650XT and X1950Pro. This has to do with how Liquid utilizes GPU processing. Going with the more expensive card doesn't really get you a lot more throughput as far as Liquid is concerned. Having said that, any other applications that you might have may take better advantage of the faster card.
There is also the current consideration that Liquid does not work well with the ATI drivers past version 6.6, and that there are some applications out there which don't work well with the ATI 6.6 drivers. The X1650XT is supported by the 6.6 driver, whereas the X1950 isn't (it can be made to work, but it's not supported).
