He has both cards, and has quit even trying games on the HD 2900XT due to it getting stomped by his 8800GTS. His results with the games he tested were said to say the least.

Again, this just adds to the reason I say currently the hd 2900xt can't compare to the 8800gts.

Well thats one test. HL2 has issues with FPS currently especially depending what is enabled. Fog issues some AA issues its a hit on performance thats for sure and thats what hes seeing because I notice it. Did he even try other games?

This is my results so far what I've tested sorry about speradic tests. One thing is for sure though which I didn't test all the way is CPU speed is a factor and from 3.0Ghz to 3.6Ghz there are very nice increases in games. I didn't record the results since thats going to take even more time and I just want to spend that amount. If anything people can look at the setup that I did and its will get better with higher CPU speeds. As well also keep in mind this is VISTA. Results will differ from XP tests in some cases.

albert can you post some pics plz ??

i bought one MC60 today and i like to see how you use the stokcooler + MC60


regards

Thats easy... Attach the MC60 and just remove the plastic cover and the heatsink. You must have a fan blowing on the card though otherwise it will get extremely warm. If you want you can even remove the fan off the heatsink. Theres 3 screws if not mistaken holding that in.

Even this solution cools it better than the stock while only thing your doing is blowing a fan over the plates.
