Looks more like an official website review thread.

If you're buying let us see the results. I'll trawl though and stick any reviews you find on this page. P

Who wants to trawl through 9 pages before a single owner has posted?

Post here pls, the other thread was affected by fanboism!

Good point, so it needs trimming back. I've asked the Dons for it to be closed or trimmed back. All these threads I can't keep track.

Dont upset him his thread is official because he said so in the title! He is therefore important because he is the creator of an official thread.

Nice, thanks for that. It's simply not true, I started the thread to see the results in one place. Its probably best to delete it or let it die. One thread is enough. If its this one so be it, I'm all for that.

Gerard, would you put the review links at the front for later viewers?

No offence intended it was tongue in cheek. I am just a hater of "official" threads as there was a problem with this down in "PC Games" not too long ago.

Plus it is entirely not useful at all because no one wants to wade through several pages of crap just to get the information they want or to post a question that is unlikely to be answered due to the aforementioned crap.

Enough with thread derailing I want to see some home brewed benchies and settle this argument once and for all of how good the 2900xt is!

Another thread ruined

Guys, ffs, could you please stop the spam? Can we just have results only in here or we're going to find ourselves trawling through 9 pages of crap to find the results...again.

Well i won't be posting any results, refuses point blank to boot in my shuttle. Brought up the xpc screen and wanted me to reset my cpu to defaults, did that and just a blank screen from there on. Seems to be getting enough power, i even hooked up a seperate 450 antec to power the card and still nothing, works on my brothers pc though with an antec neoHe 550 watt.

sn25p




For anyone wondering about the card size heres a comparison to the x1900xt

Just pulled the trigger on a 400 watt psu for my sn25p, if this doesn't work im gonna be mildly annoyed to say the least.

i got to admit the x19xx series card there is sexy'er than the 2900 card, iv allways loved the shape of the cooler on the x19xx series..

But they are a lot noisyer the x19xx series coolers, i had one on my x850xt and god... it sounded like a wasp was stuck inside

Just need the 2900 to include a sticker of ruby for the cooler now
