Review(s) of HD2900Pro popping up! 512bit memory bus CONFIRMED!

[G.Foyle]

It can be overridden by shorting some pins, there's a guide in xtreme mods section.

[Origin_Unknown]

so the 2900 only needs the 6pin and the 8pin is redundant untill auto overclocking?

according to this you can use the 6+6 http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33891174

Thanks for this wonderful info!

I'm ordering quickly!

[Jack]

It's expensive in England! Germany is 55 euro cheaper
But they're not in stock yet...

I'd like to buy two but the 6+8 pin thing has confused me.

i can use the 6pin only but to overclock i need 6+8pin? but the link i posted above said you can use 6+6pin?

[Cooper]

You can find it for £150 incl. in UK. OCUK is overpriced as always.

[STaRGaZeR]

OMG...

You CAN USE it with 6+6 perfectly, but ATI Overdrive is DISABLED.

If you use 6+8, Overdrive is ENABLED.

Overdrive--> Allows you to manual overclocking in CCC. There is no auto OC O_O

While we wanted to include overclocking benchmarks, due to time constraints we didn’t get the opportunity but this is something that we will dive into separately soon. Firing up AMD GPU clock we had no problems benching at 760MHz/1800MHz DDR which actually put us slightly ahead of the HD 2900 XT in 3DMark06. Hopefully this translates over to real world gaming – we’ll have to investigate this more later.

looks like the max will be 750/1800

So who's going to be the first person to try and flash their Pro as an XT? If they are identical cards it might be possible

if it involves flashing , people would rather flash it with a Bios that will run faster memory

?????????

where you saw that the max clocks are 750/1800????


the only thing they said is :

Ya if its the same card, all we need is an atitool with working gpu voltage changing on the hd2900xt and we'll have whatever clocks we want (well to a point)

looking at two reviews the max for 24/7 users looks like 750/1800 without mods , it looks like a crapped core

or lowered vgpu

[kemo]

or lowered vgpu

if it a lowered vgpu then they might consider producing them in large quantities if the product is a success

[Origin_Unknown]

gah, im quite torn now.

Added a Abit IP-35 pro and 2* 2900 to my basket and they come to >£400
if i didnt have personal stuff to worry about right now then i'd press buy.
