ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT Performance Benchmarks

Hy guys...
This source seems credible enough Link
Anyway it's not even the 2900 XTX :lol: ... it's looking like NVIDIA it's gonna take a hell of a beating.

Nice very niiiiiiice
Now wait for all the fanboys to come out and say : yea but it was this motherboard or memory or monitor or it was done at night or this driver or that setting, Or its photo shop or they had flames on there card, they cheated that gives another 10% FPS.
boo hoo.

the 320 bit memory interface for 8800 can and will show better performance in resolutions above 1280x1024 with high AA settings. The performance under DX 10 will probably be the deciding factor, and that remains to be seen.

[Edit: corrected some typos ]

I’m curious though, how well does it stand when compared with a GTX …

From what I've seen from the article, I think that ATI Radeon HD 2900 XTX will kill the GeForce 8800 GTX...

If you look at the specs for the 2900XT ... it has only 512 Mb Ram compared to 640 for the 8800 GTS, and the memory frequency is a little higher : 1,65 GHz vs. 1,6 GHz ... but it has a 512-bit memory interface vs. a 320-bit memory interface for 8800GTS ... 8800 GTX has 384-bit memory interface and 768 Mb Ram , but it will be killed by the 2900XTX with it's 1 Gb Ram and it's super high core and memory frequencies ...

Looks damn good to me!
Might switch to AMD if they make a nice affordable version!

THANKS! Wow, can't wait for this one. I'm an AA and Spearhead junkie.

Reply to piesquared

Looks great, and since Dailytech were using their own PC, no one can say it was AMD "tweaked" system. Although I would gladly see 2900XT with Barce or Agena in action :wink:

Hats of to DailyTech for first true benchies, now gives as more food Get better monitor to test with, steal Barce system for tests, etc.

IMO there still isn't a game out there that can match the game play of Allied Assault or even Spearhead. Especially mulitplayer. I didn't mind Pacific Assault either, it's too bad it was so buggy.

Reply to piesquared

It looks like ATI's cards will be worth the wait. Makes me glad I didn't jump the gun, and get an 8800 right away. Thanks for the benchmarks, DailyTech.

Reply to Glacier

lmao, those benchmarks for COD2 and HalfLife EP 1 are artificially low, I play both and have benchmarked at those resolutions with decent AA and AF and gotten much higher avg frame rates than those

and in the other couple of (more recent and known to be more hungry) games, there's like 0.7-1 fps difference between the 2 cards

yeah, that's worth waiting 6 months for

why the fcuk did you post this in CPU? and why did you double post? please delete this thread.

Yea, must be the core 2 extreme bottlenecking the video card, need to get it benched with k10 :lol:

I´m not that impressed actually. I mean the XT vs the GTS? What that actually means is, that the XT is roughly equal to a GTX and that´s nothing to be proud of. Its not that i don´t like what i see, i welcome the competition and the price reductions that tend to come with it, but if i had waited for that thing since the introduction of the 8800 GTX, i´d be sad. Am i totally off here or should i wait until i see an Oblivion benchmark before i write the XT off as a overhyped chip? :?

Then again, ATi`s card is released how many months after Nvidia? By the time ATi get their finger out of their asses Nvidia will have G90 out. Btw they are now talking about Q3 release for R600 .. hahahahaha

It's not true ... Radeon HD 2400-series, Radeon HD 2600-series, HD 2900 and also the HD 2900 XTX will all launch in May ... that was just an unfounded rumor (launching in Q3)...

As to the performance ... I don't think we will see G90 until the end of the year and until than ATI might have R650 so you can never know ... those are just speculations , the facts are that R600 family of GPU's is better than G80 ...

you didn't answer my first question. no worries, i'll answer it for you. you simply wanted to be the first in all the forums to post the news about these crappy benchmarks. nevermind that you posted this topic in TWO different forums and nevermind the fact that you posted a topic that has NOTHING to do with CPU's. so congratulations! you're the first idiot of the day to do this. here's a nice big cookie.

Reply to YO_KID37

I was honestly hoping for better performance than this. Considering the street price of a GTS is ~$400 now and will probably dip lower, compared to 499 for the AMD card, you don't get a whole lot. The percent difference ranges from close to 30% in older games down to 7% in some newer games. The GTX outperforms the GTS by 20-30%, so this card can't even consistently beat out a year-old GTX. GTX's will probably be close to 499 after this launches, they're hovering close to that number now, so I don't think ATI is going to pull off anything big here. I'm pretty disappointed.

I think you have a problem dude, so why don't you just relax a little and if that's not working than you can just go and post you're crap elsewhere

In the past, ATI cards have not been "bottlenecked" by their CPU's to any measurable extent. This phenomena is pretty much only seen with Nvidia GPU's and has to do with the way the drivers are implemented more than GPU design. I don't know if it will be a factor with these new cards, but I doubt it.

DirectX 9 has an API overhead of 40% of CPU cycles. DirectX 10 will have about 20%. For DirectiX 9 a clever driver implementation could easily bring a perf increase and just as easy a faulty one would give a decrease or bottleneck. So basicaly the driver related performance issues will be smaller for DirectX 10.

Nice, to bad they're $500 though...

Anybody know which R600 variant is going to take over the 1950xt's market segment ($250-300 range.)? Kohinoor seems like a possibility.

Reply to apt403

When I first saw the numbers I was like "holy shit!" but then I realized they were comparing it to the 8800GTS.

Reply to Heyyou27

Maybe they will lower the prices a little bit ... I think AMD want's to make up the lost ground and what better way to do that then bringing a superior product to the market with a lower price than the competition.

Reply to Moonskin

Even though the source is Fudzilla they are saying the 2900XTX HAS BEEN DELAYED TO Q3 because the 1GB DDR4 RAM is running slower than the XT's 512 MB DDR3 RAM meaning the first batch of bleeping XTX is weaker than the XT!

I ment a little more detailed benchmark i.e. Indoor, outdoor, min frames, max, frames etc.

Wow I have never heard of that, could you post a link or review or something showing that ATI cards are never bottlenecked by the cpu?

I am drooling to see the XTX numbers now, who knows I may have to ebay this gtx. :twisted:

Nothing will happen till I can see some DX10 numbers though. :wink:

Slow down willya? This "benchmark" wasnt done like regular ones in a very controlled enviroment, it was done on 12X10 only cause thats all they had at the time (monitor). When actual benches come out, with a full test, then we will all have a better idea of what this card can do

Reply to jaydeejohn

Thats right, this is only 1 test wait for better drivers, different tests with AMD boards like the Barcelona etc, still way to early for its full potential to be revealed.

edit: I didn't mean "NEVER", obviously you can't run oblivion on a system that consists of a 1950XTX and a 486DX2/66......

Ok, I'll reserve judgement... but I do not understand the postive comments on this thread??

In absense of higher res benchmarks, there doesn't seem to be revolutionary shift in performance here.

Newbie, so is the R600 some sort of new CPU? I mean this is the CPU forum.

Reply to dasickninja

Good link, although I think that the results had more to do with the new drivers for the 8800 and directx10, I highly suspect the the hd2900xt will also require a fast processor to avoid bottlenecking. I wouldn't expect the first(or second or third for that matter) round of catalyst DX10 drivers to be nearly as well optimized as the DX9 catalyst drivers that they have been perfecting for years.

I may be wrong, but it seems pretty likely. :wink:

Either way it seems to be a smokin card! I eagerly await the XTX benches. :mrgreen:

Ok so I've made a mistake ... so what??? I already apologized for it and did my best to lock the other topic and redirect???

I thought this is a civilized forum with civilized people!!! I don't think that calling peoples idiots is a normal behavior???

So I kindly invited him to relax and if not to take his insults elsewhere...

I don't think that being a Forum Resident gives you the right to insult people … or does it???

So anyway the point is … the man was way out of line and that’s way I answered him …

He could have said his point in a civilized manner don't you think so ???

I cannot do anything about the post now so his behavior was pointless anyway …

I would consider it a CPU (gpu class).
