Here is what it boils down to. If the Radeon HD 2900 XT performed exactly on par with the GeForce 8800 GTS in every game, it would still be a loser because it draws nearly 100 more watts of power, meaning it is very inefficient. The facts are though that it doesn’t even match the 8800 GTS currently. In every game it slides in underperforming compared to the GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB, and it does it while drawing a lot more power, as much power or more as an 8800 GTX. Not only that, but a GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB based video card can now be had for up to $70 cheaper than the Radeon HD 2900 XT. I don’t know about you, but a video card that is cheaper, runs a lot faster and draws less energy just seems like the better value to me.
lol, just think of that the power consumption on the 2900xtx will be XD
It's vastly overrated, get an 8800.
As we're on the subject of graphics cards, I was wondering if anyone could explain to me why my Nvidia 256MB 6800 cost more than a 512MB 7900. Also is £132 a resonable price for a PNY GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB, and is that a good card? I know nothing about the technical stuff in my comp.

The 2900 is a piece of shit, 8800 out performs it by a mile
I'll stick with my 8800 GTX.

too bad it sucks

But certainly for the time being.
You are right, THE video card is out, and it has been for a while.. the name is 8800GTX !!

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
old news. already on overclockers at 279 quid (rip!), and this was posted by 69th a while back WITH review links holding links to ZIPZOOMFLY etc which HAVE it.
Not by a mile, but the 2900 is alot cheaper then the 8800gtx and is still using poor drivers.Pernicious544 wrote:

hmm, more money, more power consumption, and beat out by 8800gts (640mb). kind of a no brainer here. lets move on.
As I saw in different test with some kind of drivers, on Non AA test it beat the 8800GTS with only a little bit and vica versa, but when using AA on with the drivers that ATI deliver it had beaten the GTS by a mile.theknuck wrote:

Wait for the drivers to mature, its not as simple yet, the 1950xtx was beating it in call of duty 2 benchmarks which proves its got a lot to do with the driver's (cant think why in a product 6months late to market, but alas that is one of there problems). Also, comparing dx10 cards on dx9 games wont give you the full picture.
Give it time (which ATI really dont have soooooo I'd expect those drivers to be sorted pretty quickly).

As said above the 8800 GTS can beat this card in some tests, its a shame its not as good as ATIAMD said it would be, now they blame it on poor drivers!! When developing better drivers than the early 8800 drivers was the excuse for delaying this lump of red slowness!!! Maybe AMD should hold off making some of their marketing employees redundant. Now the wait is over i'll just buy an 8800 gtx.
I guess the DAAMIT fanboi's must be kinda pissed...
I heard somewhere that it is underperforming right now because of the drivers. Could be a lie though.
