Yea, same here :( I was hoping for either a lower price or higher performance than where it is at right now :mad: I guess there might be a 8800GTS640 in my future ;)

Call of Juarez DX10 Benchmark

Quote:
ATI RADEON HD 2900 XT (R600) 512MB PCI-E is generally very successful for its price. It obviously and definitely outperforms the competing GeForce 8800 GTS. But we still feel that drivers do not allow the novelty to spread wings, especially with AA. So, let's wait for updates.
Meanwhile, we can state the following:
* Excellent performance for 1600x1200 even with AA+AF
* Fully-fledged DX10 support;
* HQ anisotropy by default
* New AA modes

Driver Heaven's Review:

Lots of vista benchmarks in there.
I wouldn't put stake in those numbers... read the review...
The IQ on the R600 is washed out and applying "filters" that shouldn't be there. Can we say "cheat"?

Take a look yourself.
btw....

NVidia's GTX wins in DX10, and the GTS ties the HD 2900XT in this title, and it's being optimized FOR THE HD 2900XT!
Ruby HD movie - http://www2.ati.com/multimedia/radeo...teout-V1.0.zip
Tesselation HD movie - http://www2.ati.com/multimedia/radeo...ation-V1.0.zip
Source: http://ati.amd.com/developer/demos/rhd2000.html
It is a MOV file BTW. The latest VideoLan plays it fine for me (VideoLan has built in codecs).
The Tesselation movie shows the mountains of the Ruby with and without tesselation. It is pretty amazing to see it, but as with TruForm it will require support from the developers. Let's hope that unlike TruForm this will get mass-support.

The R600 really does lose in DX10....

umm where are the floating point benchmarks?
That review has so much credibility has the others have.
And about this:
http://www.ixbt.com/video3/images/r600/vista/cj.png
Clear win in this also.

Both coincide in the Frames per second, so is easy to see that both are OK, the guru3d review is wrong acording with these two.
Image quality is ok in every review. It isn´t needed conspyiracy teory.....
Can be many things/drivers problems. Besides in the text is said that HD 2900 had munts of bugs runing the game.
This inicial DX_10 games will not show nothing special about DX_10 performance. Itīs needed more titles and mores games and benchmarks to say something.
Take conclusions on that for ATI or for NVIDIA side is just being very Biased.....
LOL in the other review because you dont like the numbers Its fAKE or they cheat
this pcgameshardwre.de numbers you like so its not FAKE and its the real thing (btw: if that its the real thing so 8800GTX not so good in DX10 because have the same FPS that 8800GTS , so ppl who want a card for future DX10 games should buy GTS and not GTX )
we already know you like 8800GTX and 8800GTX its better then X2900
you didnt realise yet that x2900 compete with 8800GTS 640mb not with 8800GTX???
Sapphire X2900XT in portugal = 375 euros
8800GTS 640mb in portgal = 399 euros
8800GTX in portugal = 550 euros
....
It means the card CAN do it, it just need some driver spanking :rolleyes:
I think its weird the 8.37.4.3 are slower, but at least we know the card CAN do it, so we have to wait for proper drivers!
G90 is delayed, so ATI should have time enough to tweak the drivers, and release a refresh in Q3.
