First R600 Review - The Radeon HD 2900XT

mrneutron2004 writes "Tweaktown seems to have the first review out of the gate on AMD's flagship R600 core. 'Our focus today is solely on the HD 2900 XT 512MB GDDR-3 graphics card – it is the first GPU with a fast 512-bit memory interface but what does this mean for performance? ... After taking a look at the GPU and the card from PowerColor as well as some new Ruby DX10 screenshots, we will move onto the benchmarks and compare the red hot flaming Radeon monster against Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTX along with the former ATI GPU king, the Radeon X1950 XTX."

    How about a warning instead, something like;

    WARNING: This is an ATI card and requires their sucky drivers.

    Maybe they should have used the card to power their servers?

    That model will measure a staggering 12-inches long...

    Watch out, Ron Jeremy. The graphics cards are catching up!

    Don't feel too badly. When you upgrade, you can pop off the heatsinks like opening a vintage wine and smell the air that was actually trapped there in 2006. Let your nose travel back in time to those heady days of yesteryear!
