Official HD 2900 Discussion Thread

But you are missing the point, I don't trust this source. I have a few I do trust to some extent, techreport, beyond3d, or behardware. Those sites are the best. Just go read one of their GPU reviews.

Yea that is true, there are some weird numbers there for sure, but atleast some of it can be trusted, we do know for certain that it will be +/- GTS peformance in games, and these reviews do add up in that regard.

As far as the features go, I'd love to see that on nVidia hardware, but will it make me choose ATi on those grounds? Definitely not, for me 3D Performance is the most important thing there is. I don't have an HDMI monitor, and I am not going to hook my PC up to my 32" HDTV. Maybe if I would build an HTPC, then yea I will get a 2600XT or something along those lines, that would be nice.

If the 2900XT beats the GTS considerably in DX9 and DX10, then I will get it. But if I can't run 2900XT Crossfire with my PSU, I will have to go with GTS's in SLI. 225w is a lot of power. (Even though I will start with a single card, and upgrade in the future)
