Cool. I thank tweak town for their quick review. I would have liked to see more AA tests (CoH, STALKER).
Another great TT review: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/11...red/index.htmlQuote:

All tested with everything maxed in the game's settings. And, what is the purpose of the 7.6 hotfix?
To fix crossfire afaikQuote:

:shakes:
I think that I am now set on getting an X2900XT:up: . Now, just need to wait for the prices to drop...:(
What? Decreases? I only see improvements with singlecard performance.Quote:

I've already posted my findings (at least for 1 game), not sure were you are getting your information from.Quote:

Why are you running HL old game with opengl?
Not sure how Vista rates gaming cards but Catalyst 7.6 lowered my mildly clocked HD2900 from a 5.9 to a 5.8; the same on my bros rig with an X1950XTX 512MB, from a 5.8 to a 5.7 in Gaming Graphics :(
I haven't noticed any difference in CS:S but I did get a BSOD in Media Center and a graphics card driver error report upon reboot telling me to get the latest drivers from AMD.
I guess I'll patiently wait for 7.6
I had this same issue with my X1800XT/X1800XT CF cards and 7.5 Cats. ATI's solution? "Use 7.4"Quote:
