2900pro 512bit Interface Confirmed.....by HIS

Just recieved my card there but my room is being stripped just now so wont get on for another hour odds!

But initially its massive and heavy haha!

Very negative point however :( No Black Box! It has been stickered over with that stupid half life 2 lost coast and dethmatch offer! Gutted!
 
Hi Gibbo, I read somewhere that the 1GB 2900 pro is on a 12 inch PCB, can you confirm/disconfirm this as it may be an issue for anyone planning on buying one of those cards?
 
Still waiting for my stuff to come, all i done so far today is march around looking out the window lol, i hate waiting for stuff.

1GB version will be available in both 9in and 12in.
 
Can somone help please, just about to format my system with new stuff in, now the card has a 6 and a 9 pin power on it, atm i aint got the extra leads to see if i have a 9 pin in the box i have a enermax liberty jobbie, so would i plug both the 2x6 pins in for now or just one 6 pin, as even in the 9 pin socket a 6 fits ok ?

Its a 6 pin and an 8 pin, not a 9 pin. It will take 6 + 6 pin just fine :) Only reason the 8 pin is there is to unlock the overclock settings in ATI's Catalyst drivers. Other than that, you can overclock it with 6+6 using ati tool or something similar :)

6+6 is fine mate, plug them both in :D

Glad you're all enjoying the cards, they're awesome value. I would expect an 8800 price drop soon to restore parity.

After all, a pair of these are only just more expensive than the GTX, lol. :o
 
no black box make it kind of a pointless purchase for me

kind of low of HIS to change what he advertised on the box, but they do have a disclaimer (Bundle items are subject to change without prior notice)

wonder if other manufacturers will not include it
 
All seems good so far with this card only tried Quake wars demo and thats silky on max settings 1680x1050 , 4xaa/16af not sure what all the different aa modes mean but ill figure that, not tried overclocking the new card or the new Q6600 cpu yet goto shoot out in abit so will play when i come back.

One more thing it says on the overclockers site that Call of Juarez is free with it but i have not found it yet, it has Hl2/lost coast/dm but can't say am to bothered about that seeing as i got hl2 already.
