Do you think its worth getting the x2900xtx when ive already got a x1900xtx would the difference be great.

well the x2900xtx is ATI`s first dx10 card that from what i see outperforms the 8800 so yea you will se a hell of a differnce but it depends on what you want it for ?

Has there actually been any benchmark results published yet, or is the "miles faster" comments still just speculation?

Jokester

speculation as per usual :rolleyes:

R600 Benchies

theese are some benchies taken with a OEM R600 enjoy

Jokester · 17 Feb 2007 at 17:34

Those results are dodgy, I had an identical system and was getting 10% more at stock with a 8800GTX, so it's somewhat untrustworthy.

They work for ATI

However, if we look back at the testing done with ATI’s new R600 chip, a successor of the XBox chip, we can tell that ATI did their homework very well, even though we had to work with a corporate test sample and a (surprisingly stable) pre-driver release initially designed for Windows Vista.

jaykay · 17 Feb 2007 at 18:15

fair enough wonder what 4 months makes to the card and drivers

Gashman · 18 Feb 2007 at 00:39

nice 'final R600 specifications' that link had no information on unified shaders, amount of shaders, what makes them better than G80s shaders :confused:

awesome website, with those 2 articles on it. both about the same thing, but then again then are apparently "Known for knowledge."

i think ill wait abit longer for some official benchmarks
