    Hmmm...this seems quite interesting. Are there any forum members who have an HD2900XT that want to try some of their own games so we can see how they perform? I know you cant do actual benchmark testing, but Im just looking for a comparison between the new drivers and the old for an idea of the improvement.

    AMD paid pumpers.

    Anyway, the best thing to do is compare this review with other reviews.

    It's quite obvious the HD2900 is slower than the 8800GTX and GTS 640MB. I don't think we need to continue this discussion about it's performance.

    Congrats DilTech on becoming a MOD!!!! Now all the HD2900XT Threads will be deleted or locked and anyone trying to show the HD2900XT been a good video card will be banned....LOL Of course you know I'm joking.
