REMEMBER THIS TEST WAS MADE WITH CURRENT CATALYST DRIVERS and therefore performance of 2900XTX will get on par with 8800 ultra so let the price wars begin and we see the real winner

HD2900 XTX with 1GB scores 13,5k+

R600XTX or the faster iteration of Radeon HD 2900 series clocked at 800 MHz core and 2200 MHz GDDR4 memory will score 13.500+ in 3Dmark06 default settings. You will achieve this from QX6800 quad core and 8.36 drivers.

Geforce 8800 Ultra (at 650 – 2160 MHz memory will score about 500 faster or about 14.000 marks. It would not with the old driver but with Forceware 158.19 it scores much better in this test.

The ATI's final driver the one that fixes the Audio bit should make Radeon HD 2900 XTX to perform at the same level as G80 Ultra. Not all hopes are lost. Our reader reminded us that we claimed before that Radeon HD 2900 XTX performs slower than the XT card and we have to say that these tests where done with the latest revision of the 1 GB card and therefore the scores are now much better.

EDIT: there is no point posting anything in this tech forum cuz no one believes anything until they get it on their own hands. not everything is fake. they DO have the cards that you can't get yet (not the only ones who have 2900xtx card ect). just thought ya might be interested to see how fast they are....

I don't care so much about top-notch speed as I do about reliability.

Do not believe fudzilla.
There's a VERY strict NDA for AMD/ATI products (especially for the flagships) and the 8800 Ultra hast not been released yet.

No evidence, no proof, and the 8800U isn't even out?

They didn't use the top R600 card so it isn't exactly fair.

I don't know anything about fudzilla, but it sounds like their full of shit. DAAMIT haven't even decided as to whether their coming out with an XTX model yet, so it seems unlikely they'd give one to a random tech site.

This shows the actual performance of the GTS against the Ati equivilant. And they dont have a restriction on what they can post.

3Dmark score:
Ati 11447
Nvidia 9836

the fudzilla's 2900xtx bench results seem to be real because the 2900xt scores 11500 in dailytech's bench (like bullet posted) and xtx scores 13500 in fudzilla's bench (result of higher clocks and 1gb memory). can't you just understand that some sites post the benchmarks before the NDA lifts... so think again before ya start spamming "thats bullshit, crap, fake z0mfhg" posts
and anandtech got it's 2900xtx also so there are some cards out there...

Might for the the 2900 as my next card. It would be the first ATi I use in a self-built computer.

Also in this thread: If the specs/benchmarks were real, they would either not be online or the publishers would have to pay a decent sum for breaking the NDA.

There's no point posting anything in this forum about DX10 cards' performances until DX10 games come out, so they can be rigorously tested.

Performance benchmarks favour one side or the other. Games are what people play and game performance is what's important.

true, but if ppl can't even believe when they see the test systems (this is dailytech's). they had better understand that some sites show off their cards BEFORE the NDA lifts

Could you point me towards an article that says that? Can't find it on the Anandtech site.

R600 card = 2900XTX

Btw, I heard prices on 8800ultra are 999usd =/ Fuck Nvidia if they're gonna keep it that way like the 7800GTX 512 mb.
