Official HD 2900 Discussion Thread

[flopper]

One more than quite possible fake SS, and everyone goes nuts again in hype. Its like when one hype is shoot down, a new emerge in some rapid hopes.
Its beyond a tech discussion, its a "want to believe" thread now.

Actually not.
people have commented on the dailytech benches, that seems to have the card already.
That they are off.

The tech is highly adpative for DX10, and not OLD archelogical OLD DX9.
Its more adapative than Nvidias cards.
Using drivers to enhance imagequality down the line.
So, ati can enhance imagequality, Nvidia are stuck at current patterns until G90.

There are a ton of people out there who want to play Crysis gen 2 engine game, when it is out.
If ATI has better imagequality, a better card for DX10 and has a better future capability, well I dont know but for me it seems stupid to even buy Nvidia card from the 8800 series by those tech stuff alone.

If I was an ATI employee, I would market it like that,
AMD/ATI deliver you a stunning visual experience with windows Vista and Crysis 2 that will be even better down the line when we upgrade your eyecandy with drivers alone, yes the card you buy will be able to become better and better looking and you wíll not belive your eyes!
(here then comes a text in how they will be able to tune eyecandy and imagequality over time)

You can always buy another card than one from ATI/AMD but then your stuck at current imagequality since ati deliver the industry adaptive card for the next gaming platform.

Windows Vista and DX10.1

Oh, yes btw, we even support the next installation of Directx, something we are proud of.

If you want to stay with a card for the next 2 to 3 years then AMD/ATI is the way to go.

AMD/ATI the gamers choice for todays and tomorrows games.

(in fact, if amd and ati want some advice I am open for work)
