New details: Radeon HD 2900 XT with 320 SP

[slaWter]

I am definitely interested in this as I prefer Intel chipsets. I could use dual graphics cards on an Intel chipset if I wished to do so. Two of these might be nice in a X38 board with a Penryn processor, or even with what I have now.


Make it a Yorkfield and I'm in :D

I want to stay with nVidia though. And by the time Yorkfield hits the market we'll have G90 already...

Am I reading right that the top of the line ATI card is going to cost less than $400? If its true thats great news.

Yes $399, that £300 but I think it not good enough to sell Radeon HD 2900 XT at that price point because the cheapest Geforce 8800GTX now cost £300 but when Geforce 8800 Ultra launch then Geforce 8800GTX prices will fall, you will find the cheapest one at about £250.

Well its good for competition to be honest. If Ati price their card at £400 Nvidia will do the same. Result is we all win :D Only you can fail to see that.

R600XT will be officially known as Radeon HD 2900 XT when it launches in May. It seems that R600XT will be available first followed the XTX. According to DailyTech, the Radeon HD 2900 series features 320 stream processors and supports 128-bit HDR rendering, 24xAA, physics processing. Other features include integrated HDMI output capabilities with 5.1 surround sound. Although the wait for R600 is unbearable but the consoling part is that R600XT stood up well against NVIDIA GeForce 8800 series. Using a Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor, R600XT scored 12K in 3DMark06, slightly better than a GeForce 8800 GTX. It is benched on the latest 8.361-RC4 drivers, quite an improvement over the older sets of drivers. The core clock of R600XT stood at 750MHz while the memory is at 820MHz. It looks all decent for a US$399 card


I would have to say that this guy really has no idea what he's talking about. My brother-in-law is an engineer for AMD and he hasn't been allowed access to any working R600 parts yet so I doubt this guy has.

The price is apparently correct though..at least MSRP, who knows what the shops will charge when they hit the market.

EDIT: Sorry, he was referring to the 65nm XTX parts

Wow this thing sounds like a beast...

And the name will suit it. Its getting kind of silly how many words are in the names of these things now.

I wonder if we will have an "XFX AMD ATI Radeon HD X2900XTX X-Fire XXX Edition"?

:lol2:
