Your "review" contradicts virtually every other one out there, so how are sales?

You forgot to upload the ATI advert btw...

So what are you trying to say?

If there is an HD2900XT for around £250 I'll for sure be getting one

Smart move. :rolleyes:

Hi, could you give us an indication of your experiences with how the x2900 runs compared to the gts/gtx with regard to temps and how audible the card runs.
I know the card apparently uses more power under load but I'm more interested on how efficient the cooler is at removing the heat.

My budget is <£300 so I'm looking for a card to replace my x1950 pro and this would suit my needs but I'm undecided.

Are there any major differences between the brands too?

thanks for any feedback.

if it is louder you know for sure within a month there will be some with better fans cooling on.

He's already said its very quiet, even under overclocking

He doesn't claim his review is the best out there, he clearly states that new drivers have come out since he benchmarked and he urges people not to buy the card based on his findings alone.

So you're either a troll or you can't read. Either way you contribute nothing to this thread.

Then changed their minds some time after. Ive a feeling this will be a similar situation.

Considering its promise I doubt that it will take off in the high end but maybe AMD have got it sorted in the mid range arena otherwise it is a complete flop semingly.

This is a confused card for anyone in the high end space.

I assume they will eventually release an XTX version of this card? I think I might wait for that or even for the next lot of Nvidia cards as my GTX is more than happy with anything I throw at it.

One thing for sure is that OcUK is I believe the only company in the UK right now with stock and pricing will be under £300 Including VAT and you can have one in your hands tomorrow if you order from OcUK around midday today.

It's gone midday... how "around" are we talking here?
