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

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


QUOTE(riku2replica @ Sep 29 2007, 12:27 AM)
still it's a monster which desire for more power... maybe same power consumption as HD2900XT

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

wah lolhalol and ctskl on a verge there...
anyways, i never really stand on 3dmarks bench
cuz its always been the fact that the graphics cards makers (ati and nvidia) they pay futuremark to up the ante for their cards in this test and that test
this was reported i think a year or two ago

the same goes for games
like fear, it likes nvidia more
the same goes for oblivion
and as for half life 2, it likes ati

better bench on quake 4, far cry, lost planet (the best)
try ur cards on lost planet
that'll be the in thing

btw, 2950 pro is coming either november or the latest early december
tapi it still wont be that cheap
but price aint what we are concerned if the performance is really on par with its publications...what more with the DX10.1 and all
haha

btw as far as i concerned, ati card has more stable  driver for vista than nvidia.. maybe it's just me , i dunno.. 

so i bet it's worth for u guys to wait for 2900pro rather than getting 8800gts 320mb..
people who knows me and notice my post surely know i've done lots of benchmark for 8800gtx, 8800gts 320mb superclocked, 2900xt 512mb, and 2900xt 1gig..

i'm not talking crap.. i'm not noob and i'm not a fanboy.  but definitely 8800gts 320mb is not worth getting once u considered price vs performance with the 512mb 2900xt.. at stock or clocked.. wtf try to compare oced card vs stock.. all cards can oc rite..

sorry if i'm out of the topic.. but i just notice sthing went on in the earlier pages of this thread that is full of stupidity egoism.. nuff said, i wont reply anymore in this  matter.. roger n out.
*
dudes
relax
everyone's a fanboy when it comes to nvidia vs ati thing
haha

anyways, u guys can read this
http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/01/the...oney/page6.html

they say that the 2900pro is so much bettter than 8800gts 320mb...
and its time to say that ati/amd is doing really well
what more with super stable ati drivers (except that they are power hungry but thats not what matters as long as u can play super games at super reso)
the 2900pro can and will compete with 8800gts 640mb and not the 320mb
read up everywhere
8800gts has the upper hand in synthetic benchies but real world still, it beats the 320mb at fsaa and aniso16x

if clocked well, i'd say that it cud go against the 8800gtx cuz the 2900xt relatively cud gain a foothold in 8800gtx realm and 2900pro can be clocked as high as 2900xt
hahahahaha

im not a fanboy and i dont intend to get any of those cards above
but i just love to see healthy competition
what more the 2900pro being scrap cards to begin with

oh yeah
u guys might also consider the x1650GT over the entry level 2600XT
this is out of topic but i've seen x1650gt went head to head with 1950pro
and it almost catches up...dah la DX10 and SM4.0 beb
even the 7600gt cud be ashamed

yeah...so for those who are into 128bit, go get the 1650gt
and stop yakking about the 8600/2600 crap...i will always say that the 8600/2600 = 7300LE or might even be the radeon X300SE

It all boils down to affordability.

If u got money to spend, u got lots of choices to choose. U can either take ur time and compare, or just buy any of it, try it, sell off, buy another and try it, then only decide which is better after u have tested it.

Irenic: So, in ur opinion, for gaming, which is better. I know for picture quality, Nvidia might not come close to the ATI, correct me if i'm wrong. Still learning from u guys here. My main concern is for gaming, framerates and mayb picture quality as last priority. I want smooth movements during games like Lost Planets, GRAW, CoH, etc.

For those on a limited budget, look for something within the budget, and worthy too. U have to compromise either pic quality or smooth framerates during gaming time.
*
well
for framerates, the 2600 and the 8600 can handle them quite ok with aa, aniso and vsync off
but then again, rugi la the devs buat game tu kan if u only want to play it fast
i still remembered my friend won doom3 on ti4600
it was laggy and shitty and can run only at 800x600 with all settings off
to me rugi cuz u dont get the game

thats why gamers they chalk a lot of money for rams and gpu
cpu comes next and then mobo
haha

so 2900pro reigns supreme later on similarly with 2900gt
but i heard that nvidia's coming out with 8700 or sumting like that to give assurance before the nv90 cards come out
or maybe they slash the 8800gts 320mb to usd150-180
i dunno

whatever it is, for framerates, on those 128bit cards, get 8600 cuz at least they can survive on 2xaa and 2-4x aniso
2600XT ddr4 cant do that
they'll go from 30fps to 12fps when fsaa and aniso turned on

so u decide
haha

tsk tsk tsk..
never learn...
again will be on a wait and see position

overall those who buy the 2900pro are pure suckers...

wait for the RV670..sishh.

really dumb to buy this card .. when the RV670 around the corner..

and hello 320mb wins on synthetics benchmarks to the hd2900xt???? shakehead.gif .. are u on drugs??

hd2900xt.. when it came out full of enthusiasm
then excuse.
driver problem
leakage etc
and till today driver driver driver...

nvidia camp... ppl are enjoying their cards...
go check the nvidia forum.. do u here anybody complaining about crashes etc..
and now a product that came like 1 year later wants to compete a 320mb that is going to be phased out..
and the worst part look at the ati cards..
saving so much in cost that the cooler looks like a piece of crap (other than asus who made it look better)
and HIS/GECUBE/SAPHIRE box is like a freaking cardbox... sishh yup never winter nights 2 on saphire cool.. my foot

[/quote]

yup yup
no need fanboyism here
ur a long timer here ctskl
u shud know better
pelik la...cant we all just stand in the middle in this forum?

we've seen reviews and this and that
if u think something is wrong somewhere, maybe u cud test the 2900pro first and make benchies later on
to me i dont really care what card's better now
im not getting them
its just fun to see all this coming up
why take it with all this heat? why call other people noobs and losers?
everything's about flaming this and bashing that...

now no offence dude but honestly, not many of us had the liberty to test this and that card of which u have tried
seriously

anyways, i'd still say 2900pro is a good card not because i love ati or that nvidia sucks all this while for not giving ati the chance to make a run for its money
its judicial notice...
period
yeah, in most reviews we've seen it losing to synthetic bench, and win in some, but do i care?
in real gaming, they already did the benchmarks and its proven good
what else can we conclude?
that they were paid by ATI?
yeah...if yes so what
and if the card is bad, so be it
our opinions does not mean anything to them manufacturers in any way
at least, the 128bit players can have a second opinion on whether to get 320mb, 640mb or the 2900pro based on what they read cuz its impossible to try all b4 deciding

The part that I remembered about the Cevat Yerli interview was about how Crysis is made to be top of the line rig killer for 3 years just like the way Far Cry was. It's made to torture a few generations of gfx cards. I remember going tru 3 gfx cards just to play Far Cry nicely last time. 6600GT cud hardly do anything, then i moved on to the 6800GT which played it smoothly at 1280 but when I moved on to 20" wide at 1680, again lag. So I bought the 7950GX2 n that played Far Cry smoothly again.

In fact I remember them asking him about today's current top line rigs. Quad core, 8800Ultra SLi n he sed it will only play Crysis at max settings at about 1280 reso. That's just sad. Cant see it in all it's glory even with a rig that costs more than a lot of ppl's cars. laugh.gif
*
he said that
haha
well that means he's propagating dual gpus
hahaha

oh well i went from 4800se, 5950 ultra than 7800gt to actually play that game at the maxest
