2900 Pro Owners Thread

Just ordered the Sapphire 1GB from the egg myself. Can't wait for it! Recently acquired a 16:10 1920x1200 display so I went for more VRAM.

Shees, I thought these absolutely illogical beliefs have long gone...
FYI: 1920x1200x(32/8)= 9,216,000 byte / 1024 = 9MB total video memory.
Start doing crazy amount of post-processing and you might can reach a few hundred megs...

PS: only case when I can see 1GB used is some 3D or compositing software - which is irrelevant to display resolution, especially desktop 2D resolution.

Yes I know it's overkill. At least right now. But for $337 w shipping I said screw it. Anyone who would pay for a 1GB XT is definitely too rich or too foolish (or both).
