ATi Radeon 2000 Series Launch: X2900XT Review

Shamino · May 13th, 07, 10:14 PM

ATi's 2000 series was announced to the media during the late April to beginning of May period, at various locations throughout the world. I attended the Press Briefing Day in Malaysia and caught sight of the much awaited Radeon X2900XT in action. Not only was this high-end model introduced to us, the lower-end series in the 2000 Family was also talked about. We took the Radeon HD X2900XT for a spin and a review here...

nice gpu/mem speeds... but the heat and the power usage is killer...
think i will stick to my 8800GTS 320MB...

How much huh? Still, the 8800 looks more appealing, somehow.

which driver was used for 2900XT ?

p.s.
I just saw now "We were running 8-37-4-070419a"
may I add that in my experience, situation with 8.37.4.2_47323 is quite different

p.p.s

a question, how did you manage to get 11323 points in 3DMark06 with stock 8800GTX and 3.3GHz CPU ?

currylicious · May 14th, 07, 06:23 AM

o man. not very impressive for r600. hope is the cause for immature driver...

either when mature driver that sigf. increase the performace or i'll wait for next gen on wads nvidia and ati can offer

great review sham

Finally all talks are over and seriously speaking, AMD-ATI has lots to catch up.. What's more with the 8800 ultras out, price would definitely drop more for the 8 series.

Man, I wish we could've seen the mid-range series.. :-/

How do games benefit when over clocking?
