I want to know if its a hardware problem or driver problem, if its a driver problem it may be worth buying the HD2900XT, but if its a hardware problem then I guess the HD2900XT are not worth even £200.

Could be a bit of both.

Imagine with the current state of these [performance wise] what they would fetch on MM? I just hope ATI do sort this out for people who have paid good money for a card that just does not perform.

not worth 100 quid if you ask me.

Hes got a point i suppose, the card is only getting slandered to hell because ATi still didnt prepare things even after month's of delay and people expected better from them. Now this...

they had 6 months more than nvidia to sort out thier lineup of cards. and look what they have to show for it. and its not getting any better, as time goes on its getting worse, now no half-life2 ep2.

dare i say it? "i told you so".

Sparky · 19 May 2007 at 14:08

I know Tom but you dont expect to pay money like that for a card and it perform the way it does.If ATI didn't know how bad it was before release then they are fools,if they did know then why did they release it?

willhub · 19 May 2007 at 14:09

I must admit, it feels allot longer than 5 days that its been out, it almost feels like 5 months :eek:

Here check out the link...

Voucher Redeem

They havnt cancelled anything.

Tom|Nbk · 19 May 2007 at 14:10

The ATi voucher will prob's just turn into an Orange voucher, this adds a little more value to the deal as you get Half Life 2 and EP1 .

Sparky · 19 May 2007 at 14:12

More free games to play with.Will they run any better thats the question?

bah they shoudl have just bundled tickets to alton towers with the card, since that trip would be the most fun thing you ever get out of the box.

I'd rather they bundled decent drivers so the card performed as its suppose to perform

xtr3eme · 19 May 2007 at 14:15

here you go proof.

Sparky · 19 May 2007 at 14:16

I honestly hope they do sort it out as i was planning a new PC after the summer and the 2900 figured high in my planned build but when you see people like Jokester even struggling with it it makes you think twice.

your asking for too much and deserve a slap.

xtr3eme · 19 May 2007 at 14:22

SO THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS AND IS JUST SPECULATION.

I AM SICK OF PEOPLE BEING SO NEGATIVE ABOUT THE 2900XT EITHER DONT GET ONE OR DO....END OF.

YOU DONT HEAR ME COMPLAINING.....I HAVE SOLD MY 8800GTS AND BOUGHT A 2900XT BECAUSE I HAVE FAITH IN ATI.

games not gonna show up till december time anyways, and by then bioshock and crysis will be the talk of the town and hl2 will dwindle into nothingness.
