Official HD 2900 Discussion Thread

[Tim]

In benchmarks, the HD 2900 will be a tremendous successor to the X1950XTX, it will be leaps and bounds ahead in most benchmarks...which is all i can say.

Not really lol, go to tweakers.net and see those Farcry screenshots from the PU review. j/k

We'll see, overclocking should indeed be fun.

3x times that, "Gone" said Fear was XT 75% vs GTX @ 1600x1200 4AA16AF

I meant 19 frames less than the 8800GTX, not 19 frames per second total.

Did anyone ever figure out if it actually is passing audio through the dvi-hdmi connector? I've been curious about that, since I don't see where, or how, it'd be able to do that.

Just wondering.
