I really don't see overclocking helping it much, unless the ram can pull miracles, because the 128-bit memory bus is going to hurt regardless. If the memory bus is the bottleneck, core speed isn't going to help a bit, unless the ram overclocks like crazy.Quote:

IN real games, the diff. is more noticable. Bookmark it and come back often for updates.
I think the HS results came from coolaler.com. (as noticed by flippin_waffles@b3d)
There's also this pic, which I don't think was posted before...Anyone noticed that chip has been blocked out on every RV610/RV630 shot so far just like the NVIO chip was? Is it Xilleon(-based) ie for UVD or is it just marked with the AIB name?

I want to see someone test how much power the card draws.
Since there is no 6-pin connector, probably only a moderate amount; less than 75 watts?
The R600 has a 6 pin and 8 pin... :fact:Quote:

The post above him was about the R600 asking about power consumption, he didn't quote who he was replying to making the post above him the obvious one.Quote:

8800GTS 320 die in hires or hi demanding texture game so if u play on monitor not limited to 1280*1024.

Dollar for dollar ,who rules the 259 slot? So far its all EVGA. for 200 dollars more is the perf worth it for the 2900xt? Traditionally all my radeon xt's oc'd well ,and I prefer ATI overall. ;399 for the xt doesnt seem to be nearly double the perf for the money.
Might as well post this here too. Very sexy

ATI Radeon HD 2900XT Performance.

if the pricing suggested in the above article are correct then CF looks very attractive.
It doesn't look that great when the 88GTX is outperforming it so much at higher res. Take another look at that link. Actually I will give it again just to make me feel better. =)

Love the name of that article.
@Mak2000, you can love the name, but not the contents as its fake ;)
Nothing like development cards with disabled features.
"Today I found the c't magazine (germanys most credible computer magazine) in my mailbox and they have an article about the 2900XT and some benchmarks. This issue will be in stores on 14th may but as a subscriber I got it earlier
Well, what should I say... The card is a big disappointment. The whole article is like a verification for all the bad news and benchmarks that we have seen in the last days
Only in three tests which are based on the DX10 SDK that card is unbelievable fast."

Resolution has very little impact on memory usage unless you enable AA/AF. HDR takes a fixed amount of mem and not that much (but that was only tested with prev-gen games). Hi-res textures are what takes the most.Quote:

without AA its actually pretty much as fast as the GTX.
This is true, and a lot of people still get hung up on "high res" killing performance when it really doesn't. The AA at high res is what hurts the most.Quote:

is it just me or does r600 @ $400 mean that xt crossfire is the competitor to 8800 ultra???
hmm.. think it's a bit unfair to class xt and gtx in the same group because of the $150+ difference
any crossfire results?
