Well, since it seems no one cares to comment on this thread, I'm going to start a new one with a somewhat new topic.

HD2900XT 1GB Benches

Why isn't anyone discussing this? Or is everyone tired of DAMMIT? I hear, (cough, cough) from the Inquirer, that this card will be availble within a week or so.

I would of expected a little more noise about this by now.

Where are the benchmarks? All I see are some pictures and some typed numbers. I'm also lacking some gaming benchmarking.

Okay, that portion is true. No hard game benchmarks. Though this must count for something. I'll edit the title to include 3DMark Only.

And then edit it again to read 3DMark.

No photos in his testing PC, nothing else at all. Whilst it might be right, it sounds like crap.

Sorry, long day. When you say nothing at all, the links from the scores aren't saying much?

Look, I can type numbers too. Want me to make it official?

2001: 123451234
2003: 1234511235
2005: 134134
2006: 23461363

In hindsight, my cat could have typed more convincing numbers. And that says something.

Here's the HD2900XT 1GB DDR4 on sale.

Did you bother clicking on the numbers to go to the screen captures. Or do you think these were dr'd?

The problem I'm seeing with those 3DMARK scores is how many people have an OCed E6600 @ 3.6 ghz?


EDIT: Still I must admit it is a very good OCing vid card.

Here's some other 3DMark benchs, here.

The 8800Ultra used a quad-core while the HD2900XT used a duo. Both at 4.0 GHz.

The numbers are higher with the CPU at 4.0GHz compared to the other one at 3.6GHz. So it makes sense.

Pauldh, you just got that in before I did.

My lack of excitement comes from being far too busy lately and being somewhat dissappointed by the HD2900XT launch. It's good to know this card has been purchased and is shipping this week or next from at least one system vender. But until we see real/fair reviews benching real games, I wouldn't get your hopes up that this card can match a 8800GTX even. I hope it does, just not going to hold my breathe. Now let the guy claim it's a 65nm XTX in his hands, then I'd be getting excited.

Yeah, there's nothing like real benchmarks but seeing the card available in Canada for $649 makes me hopeful. If this card can match the Ultra at this price, there's going to be a lot of happy people out there.

I wasn't thrilled with the HD2900XT 512MB lauch and this has perked up my interest.

Seems you can soon buy one and let us know how it does. :wink:

I think no one really cares because...

3DMark06 is more irrelevant than ever. It's using old technology. Who farking cares? The most advanced feature is PS3.0 which has been out for well over a year now.

No one will care about 3DMark benches until they release a DX10 version/patch/whatever.

I'll get interested when someone posts some real life game benches.

OT - How far are you from the Wright-Patterson airforce base? A buddy of mine is moving out there in a few weeks. Just curious as Lebanon rings a bell for some reason. I went to school in Indiana and knew loads of classmates from all over Ohio. BTW, I'm in NJ, so no fear I won't come knocking on your door. :lol:
