We really should see it in motion to judge, same for the AA blurring.Quote:

well in theory you could do a diff in motion by caputing all of the frames in BMP format and then going through and doing diff for every frame.Quote:

those complaining about power consumption, well those 700+million transistors gotta draw power from somewhere :p:

Bring on the POWER :)Quote:

Might go broke from that hehe. Then again if I have my system on for periods of time I try to lower consumption by running slower OC on my CPU, and surely if I start using a 3rd party tool agian I'd drop my 2D clock and voltage as well.
Nothing wrong with wanting more Performance per watt.Quote:

After countless delays, tis a sad day for AMD.
Yes thic card is totall ***
Higher power consumption then 8800GTS
Very high temps
Crappy performance (ATI has lot of time to make good drivers)
Not too low price

The Radeon HD 2900 XT is an inefficient power hog. Using the 2900 XT card will cost you more power than a GeForce 8800 GTX while delivering to you sub-8800 GTS performance.
The ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT however is more akin to NVIDIA’s GeForce FX 5800. It does not seem like this will have a very long life span in comparison.
With the Radeon HD 2900 XT however it seems that ATI hasn’t made any breakthroughs as far as image quality goes. On the antialiasing side ATI did not make any improvements to the standard MSAA modes. They have provided a higher level, 8X MSAA but took away the 6X AA option.
What we found in our testing of ATI’s current Narrow Tent and Wide Tent filtering options was that enabling them caused textures to become blurry. This was plainly evident in every game we played.
“A day late and a dollar short.” Cliché but accurate. The Radeon HD 2900 XT is late to the party and unfortunately is bringing with it performance that cannot compete. The GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB is $50 cheaper, performs better, and draws a lot less power than the 2900 XT.
This is as good as it is going to get for a while from ATI
As it stands right now the Radeon HD 2900 XT, in our opinion, is a flop. ATI needs to get its act together quickly.
The second negative just has to be the fan. It's not dramatic in 2D desktop mode, really. But once you start gaming, you'll definitely hear it. And God forbid, if your card overheats to 100 Degrees C (which is not that awkward) you'll have a local hair-dryer available to you.
Utter disaster, I'm buying the GTS this afternoon. :(Quote:
All is not lost with the product though. Most of our main issues can be fixed by two changes; the first is a complete redesign of the cooling solution to create one which is as quiet, if not more so than it’s main competitors and the second is a drop of the retail price by at least £50 or $75 (from RRP $399) to compensate for the fact that overall the card is slower and has less memory than the nearest competition (The Geforce 8800 GTS 640Mb). If AMD or its partners can do both the Radeon HD becomes a much more attractive purchase, as it stands now however, we simply cannot recommend this hardware.
To those who waited for this card, my condolences.
Even I'm shocked by how bad this card really is.
Even in DX10(thank you guru3d) the 8800GTX wins.
I hope AMD doesn't lose too much due to this, as the R600 is now AMD's GeForceFX mistake.
Actually if you read it at all:Quote:

They chose to not use the newer ATI drivers, yet they used the latest nvidia beta not available officially for just that one benchmark and the rest of the review was done with 158.22. Lame.Quote:
Breathtaking is what this benchmark is. Initially when ATI handed out this demo I was a little reluctant as well ... It could be tainted as it's handed out by ATI. So we started testing an 8800 GTX with this software, and stumbled into bad performance and weird performance issues. The HD 2900 XT and 8800 GTX where equal performance wise. And what this review definitely shows, is that it can not really be the case. Later that evening NVIDIA noticed that the press obtained the demo and one day later issues a driver which was showing excellent performance and no weird stutters or anything anymore. The driver is the 158.42driver which be will be released to the public this week.
All I can say to that is, at least ATI had it working perfectly from day one. Now they need to make it work better...
If you want to talk about untapped power, I think the 2900XT is the best example we got right now.
Poor performance is not in early drivers! ATi has long time to prepare good drivers, this card is just slower than GTX and better drivers cannot to solve this.
OH my goodness, how can you even say that. This is driver HELL. Read HardOCP's comments on the card please! Working perfectly hahaha :lol2:Quote:

Seriously would have gone ATI this time if it wasn't this bad....nVidia gets my money again, I want a ATI card for a chance. But not this.
Why everyone compares HD 2900 with GTX in order to bash it? Is HD 2900 cost 500$. :stick:
teh most hyped card .... RD600 = R600
