Dang to bad we can't get it yet.

Come back May 14th. NDA being over was just a rumor that vr-zone put out.Quote:

so we have to wait till the 14th now
Wish the waiting game would end !!!!
lol I wonder what people would do if AMD/ATi decided to announce on May 14th that the product will be delayed for another 3 months?Quote:

HIS Radeon HD 2900XT Information
As we reported to you earlier today, HIS Digital recently updated their website with the online product presentation of their upcoming HIS Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB GDDR3 VIVO PCIe graphics card. It seems like HIS took the website down now but we still have all the pages for your viewing pleasure.

Sounds like a whoops on HIS's part guess they jumped the gun.Quote:

My only question is are they going to have a 6-pin to 8-pin converter supplied with the card cause I really don't want to go out and buy another PSU for this card (yes, I want to have the overdrive option).
Yes they will. It will come with a 2 x molex to 1 x pcie 6 pin adapter as well as 2 x 6 pin pcie to 1 x 8 pin pcie adapter.
wow they need 2 x 6 pin to power a singe 8pin PCI-E??? wow...
why cant they just make molex + 6 pin > 8 pin??
6 pin PCI-E can provide 75W so molex only need to provide 25W in order to get the 100W rating of 8 pin PCI-E ... and on 12v thats like 2.1A ...
hell u can power a 6 pin PCi-E with 2 x molex ... and thats 75/2/12 about 3.1A over each molex
the adapter appears to be needed just so you can turn on the video card. IE to get it running at standard clocks of 225 watts.
really i heard u can have only 2 x 6 pin PCI-E plug in and still work, but u cant OC with 2 x 6 pin (inq and many other says u cant, ... so flame them if its false )
how about adapters??Quote:

without benchmark numbers this thread is a waste of storage and bandwidth.
From what I've read, that one /\Quote:

One nice thing about the X3 is that it has native support of the upcoming 8 pin PCI-e standard. No adaptors needed for this baby although as of now the 8 pin cables feed off a 6 pin plug on the unit. A little birdie tells me that Ultra has a redesign in the works which will put the 8 pins on native 8 pin plugs on the PSU body and two of the 6 pin cables will adapt down from them instead of it being the inverse as it is now. Does it make much of a difference? Not really owing to the fact that as of now the extra two pins on the 8 pin plugs are grounds. There's all this hoopla over the 8 pin handling more wattage when in fact there are still three 12V power leads and five grounds rather than three +12V and three grounds. The new standard will eventually implement a 12V sense where the new grounds reside. How this equals more power capacity I really don't understand but I suppose that better minds than mine have decided it will work so that's all that matters.
JonnyGURU has a good thread on his forum if you want more info.
damn then u need 6 x 6 pin PCI-E to power 2 x HD2900XTX (if u dont have the 8 pin PCI-E)... i have the thermaltake 750w PSu which only has 2 PCI-E, might as well get the new 1200W when it comes out
1200W what do you plan on running? Even 1kW is a lot. The X3 I mentioned above is what? $270, you need more than 70A?Quote:
