Not me but it looks like its obliterating the GTS

Still disappointing though. All this wait and ATI can't even release something that competes with the 8800GTX/Ultra.Tom|Nbk said:http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/24/atis-radeon-hd-2900-xt-benchmarked-trumps-nvidias-geforce-880/

But isn't this card not ment to be up againist the GTS not GTX? For the price tag I think beating the GTS seems pretty good.Durzel said:

This is not the XTX it's the XT. The XTX was scrapped in favour for this.

the article you linked to was about the 2900xt 512mb card, and was dated april, which we know that back then, it wasn't beating the 8800gts at everything.

That benchmark is 6 weeks old, using the original 512Mb HD2900XT.Tom|Nbk said:http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/24/atis-radeon-hd-2900-xt-benchmarked-trumps-nvidias-geforce-880/

What price tag? I can't see a price anywhere.kvfb97 said:
We should wait for some benchmarks and pricing before commenting on it's performance/value.

now it has not only more stream processors, more power consumption, more heat output, more noise, 6 months more development time, AND now more memory than a GTX. yet still its performance is less than a GTX?
it just keeps on getting worse and worse.

It was only ever going to compete with the GTS anyway, I thought you understood that?

OK lets start the bidding say £60 more than a 512 so £310~ish

I bet this thing is GTX price, I'd say just under 350.
...but I'm sure AMD/ATI is aware of the upcomming price drops for 8800's so mabye it'll not be as high, and *maybe* the 512mb version will get a price drop too.Any card with a gig of ram onboard will be pretty pricy I'd say.
Are their any applications that actually use 1GB of vid mem? I mean, if it's not needed, will it really make any difference? Bit like 2GB-4GB system memory. doesn't offer massive gains in performance.
