I'd wait for a review on the 2900 Pro to see if they be just as powerful as the XT's. You'll need at least a 550W PSU.

Looks like it will be the G92 vs the 2900Pro if the G92 rumours of it being midrange are true.

jrodga2k5 · 19 Sep 2007 at 16:03

I think they will be as powerful as the XT's, they are simply downclocked after all ;P IF anything these will be better than the refresh as they may lock things out! As Gibbo said these are purely just Downclocked XT's!

I know for a fact my Hyper Type R 580 runs an XT so im safe with the power

would an antec truepower trio 650 watt psu be alright with a hd 2900 xt?

little off topic

they on pre order

Mr Paul · 20 Sep 2007 at 08:19

Indeed, seen one for £148 inc

~>Dg<~ · 20 Sep 2007 at 09:00

how do you think these will compare with a 8800gts 320?
cause if very similar for 148.00 its a steal.which psu for 50.00 ish to run this card or 8800gts?
OCZ StealthXStream 600W PSU 54.00
Hiper 580W Type-M Black PSU 50.00
Corsair VX450WUK 450W PSU 45.00
dunno which to pick ? quietest would be best for me.

Vogon · 20 Sep 2007 at 09:17

Don't know which of those is the quietest, but from that list I would go for the OCZ.
Maybe throw the Enermax Noistaker 535 into the mix, that will be quiet and up to the job

You would have to be insane to buy a new Hiper. Do a search to see how many have blown up. Out of that list the OCZ.
