First R600 Review - The Radeon HD 2900XT

Posted by Zonk on from the tech-drool dept.

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."

  1. Installing in a Mac Pro? by xjerky · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is off-topic, but I was curious if anyone's tried to get one of the current higher-end cards working in a Mac Pro? Are there driver issues in doing so?
