[Nelly]

Must be why no ones laughing.

lol /trolling off

I'm confident ATI will sort it out. . . no worrys.

if you run vista does that mean the card runs in 3d mode? therefor using more power and louder fan

Apparantly Vista Aero stresses the card more than XP would, this causes the fan to speed erratically in Vista, there is currently some form of fan issue in the drivers, this should be sorted with a new release.

HIS, even though the others are good as well.
Anyone got any news on the 1GB 2900XTX?

Around June/July for that one, also a friendly word of advice mate, your sig needs to be changed 4 lines Max

And remove that sad face from your X1900XT.

Well the card is getting on a bit, I must admit, it has stood the test of time but I'm hoping to get a 2900XTX, anyone got any information on the price?

HIS, Sapphire, or Asus?

His

Hmm a very interesting revelation...I've tried the CD drivers and still got the fan issue, is there any steps you took to sort it? , baffled here.

I didn't just install the driver, i made the cd autoplay then clicked on the catalyst link, it installed drivers, plus codecs plus the hdmi software. After all that got installed the card never seemed to rev up in the 5 or so mins i was playing doom 3 for. Usuallyit woukd rev up right away on entering a 3d game.

Yes, he only has one big joke left. . . "2900XT"

 

[LoadsaMoney]

thanks for the replies, i think ill wait till wednesday with the new drivers see what happens hopefuly it be good

Good decision, you may as well hold on a bit as the cards only been out a week, give the drivers a chance to improve, and hopefully the 7.5's on Wednesday will be the start of the improvements.

Love it.

So far its both card are even, and drivers can only improve (with ATi). Wed will determine the choice for me.

 

[HighlandeR]

hmm looking promising, if the noise issue is fixed and the performance boost up towards GTX range....

 

[esiemi]

hope so

Not just ATI, 8800 drivers have been stagnant for months.

I should know, had one since early February and had to tolerate no drivers. Others have had one since launch.

Much room for improvement, stability/performance-wise. Just like the 2900XT.

As I've said in the past let's hope the driver wars start to kick up soon .

Looks like the problems are more than sorted according to this review with the new drivers..

If those results are right then they look amazing! Almost too good though ATI have lot longer than NV on this one so it beating 9month old tech isnt too much

Well then laugh away, because that's exactly what you can do under the distance selling regulations...

Basically, you've got 7 working days starting the day after the receipt of the goods to assess your purchase and decide if you need to return it.

Yes im very aware of the distance selling act, when i said 'while', was talking rather loose of time frame ofc.
