I guss so ...

The review is positive, 'GOLD' award.

Verdict:

".....HD 2900XT is an excellent card with a strong performance - and its cheaper then 640mb GTS. With an enticing software bundle [but doesnt state what this is] this is a winner"

Those Stalker framerates... Are these with HDR?

Sorry no idea review dosn't give details ... the PC advisor reviews are not great as far as the detail goes but I find them to be something that can be trusted.
