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."

    easy we need a new card that can handle running areo glass without bringing the system to its knees (did you notice that one of the caps on the board is a blue box with a white glowing thing on top?)

    You realize there are needs for legitimate commercial email, right? If you care so much, note that we have/do terminate clients who spam people, thanks for asking, troll.

    THEN DON'T BUY THEM
    Uh, if I'm not mistaken, that's pretty much what a boycott is. Yeah, good advice there, buddy. No, you are mistaken, a boycott is more than that. Not buying a product because it isn't what you need is just choosing another product. Not buying a product that you actually want based on some other grounds (ethical, whatever) is a boycott.

    That, in this case, the on board graphics was fine for the OP meant that they had NO NEED for the ATI card, so wouldn't be buying it anyway, so IT'S NOT A BOYCOTT.
