I almost bought this card and then noticed it's not 512-bit.

256-bit HD2900 PRO $145 shipped AR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102717

Too bad it wasn't a real 512-bit Pro like Sapphires product link still shows, instead of kinda half pro/half GT. Not too bad, but for the money this would be better.

HD3850 $150 shipped AR

Personally, I don't think any of the 2900series are worth it anymore.

Neutering cards is all the rage.

The whole point was, if it was neutered, it wouldn't work would it?

I'm not even going to go into a description. But snipping it only makes certain parts not work. As an entire unit it still performs... Uh yea.

And Korsen - The comment wasn't that the 2900s are horrible cards. But guess what? They aren't worth buying new in the current market.
