2900pro review - TweakTown

or try this at a polish site Pclab reviews

but search for a Polish to English translator online cuz Altavista and Google don't do Polish.

I think this is more worth it than the GTS320. Even when they're priced the same (Pro is cheaper though)

When future games come (See GRAW2 and Oblivion + the gorgeous 2GB Qarl's Texture pack) 320 will be struggling with texture settings while this 512 is the new baseline. 320 might be faster now in some places, but then, it'll be kinda moot.

Just my 2 cents BTW.

the radeon x2900pro series is manufactured in limited numbers though
cuz by november 2950 series coming out

but hey, 2900pro can play dx 10.1
ahaha

just read in vr-zone if not mistaken, new hd2950pro will release in November... if true, the hd2900pro and hd2900gt really hv short life... btw amd just produce small number of hd2900pro and gt

still it's a monster which desire for more power... maybe same power consumption as HD2900XT

yeah
since they are downclocked XT's or the XT's which failed the tests and rebatched...but still good food though
haha


i dunno why but since the x19xx series, ati card always makan banyak

if im not mistaken, the power consumption just 150w, i read in HIS website...

Just??? 150W leh.. banyak tu.

I'm keeping my money (boycott cute lil seal killer) until hybrid SLI arrives.

if the price of this card is gonna be sub RM 1000. then nvidia is going to have a hard time. when will it reach malaysia?

again...
the hd2900xt is having a hard time against the gts
and u expect this to beat it??

come on guys...

first the excuse was the xt was to compete with the gts
and if this fails.. is it suppose to compete with the 8600gts??

kekek

will be in the wait and see position

have you actually LOOKED at the benchmarks? there seems to be a consensus amongst the reviewers: this card rocks! best bang for the buck out there right now. the fact that it is such a great overclocker is def an added bonus. dont get why so many ppl hatin' on ATI for not having the "best" card out there...i mean seriously...the fact that it is cheaper than the GTS and outperforms it in almost every category should speak for itself no?

some people just like to condemn.. instead of trying it.. i used 8800gtx, than 320mb gts, then 512mb 2900xt, n currently 1gig 2900xt..

i dun think 2900xt is having hard time against gts..

and based on the review, it looks promising..

ya. 2900pro is at good c/p card but it life is just too short. anyway singapore ban leong have power color 2900pro 512mb pre-order at $429. still thinking wan to grap one or not?

i dont get the whole life too short thing sailen....u mean it wont b around for very long? grab it while u can then!!

limited stock and 2950xx is coming out november. so this one is eol in november i think.

Looking at the benchmarks and all,this card does seem to do quite well.But if you said 2950's were to come out by november,this card will have such a short life.Don't you think ppl will rather wait?BTW,the price is really something for this card.

It's a nice card...overall performance i think it will be a better buy then 8800gts. however, since you guy said that 2950 will be coming..i wonder how many ppl will buy this card?

there still will be for people that desperate for a nice mid range ATI cards..

of course the number would be small but there would be .. else why would AMD released such card without knowing there's response from market..

or probably this card is really mere down clocked 2900XT .. they try to clear the factory and earn a bit more than none...

besides even with the release of 2950Pro .. what would be the estimated price tag .. there's still remains a question that yet to unveil ...

so unless there's further press release or info released for 2950Pro..

this card still a better replacement for those that have budget around RM900 to RM1000....

hmm interesting but i will still wait for 2900XT drop price

Firstly, a review cant separate these cards ... im not against u or anything.. but imo, ati HD series cards has ou performed almost any 8800 series card at 3d mark 06. and 05 as well iirc... but in real world gaming, teh nvidia cards outperform the ati cards.. it has something to do with the shader clocks or something like that... , adn also iirc in VISTA teh ati cards seem to be beter.. so if ur a hardcore bencher then u should og and get teh hd2900 series... if u are a high end gamer then go for the 8800gtx , but if ur a midrange gamer, with a 22" screen trust me u wont see any difference between the cards... diff of fps might be there.. but the minimum fps is so high thats its in the 40+ regions in new games... u wont see lag at all...

bro a HD2900Xt vs a 8800gtx in 3d mark 06 , stock clocks, and using a 3.2 quad , the average score is 8800gtx 11k + , HD2900XT 12k~13k + .

ur gts rev 3 can outperform them yes.. but it needs to be clocked.. , if i go and get a 2900pro, yes u can beat it with ur gts, but thats already the limits of ur gts, while i can still clock the 2900pro...adn in certain games do u mean nvidia optimized games? at wat resolution ?

bro im not challenging ur views.. neither do i say ur wrong.. but u didnt elaborate ur views enough ...

peace
