Default ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT Graphics Card Review

The new ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT is finally here in the Tech ARP labs! ATI's top dog is now ready to battle it out with NVIDIA's own DirectX 10 graphics card.

Let's put it through the paces in Windows Vista and see how well it does against the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX and the GeForce 8600 GTS. We will also see how it performs in DirectX 10 rendering.

Will it be as slow as you thought it was? Or will it actually beat the GeForce 8800 GTX in DirectX 10??? Read on and find out!

Quote from the review:-
Quote:
Launched on May 14, 2007, the Radeon HD 2900 XT is the first of ATI's new HD 2000 series of desktop graphics cards. Based on the long-awaited (and long-delayed) R600 VPU, this makes it the first ATI desktop graphics to support DirectX 10. Like its rivals from NVIDIA, it features a massively-parallel unified architecture with general-purpose stream processors, instead of dedicated pixel and vertex shaders.

From http://www.relicrank.com/bloggo/2007...marking-guide/ you can use the -novsync command line parameter to allow avoid the 60fps frame rate cap.

Default ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT Graphics Card Review Rev. 2.0

The new ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT is finally here in the Tech ARP labs! ATI's top dog is now ready to battle it out with NVIDIA's own DirectX 10 graphics card.

Let's put it through the paces in Windows Vista and see how well it does against the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX and the GeForce 8600 GTS. We will also see how it performs in DirectX 10 rendering.

In this revision, we have revamped the entire review, added completely new benchmark results and also pitted the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT against the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT.

Will it be as slow as you thought it was? Or will it actually beat the GeForce 8800 GTX in DirectX 10??? Read on and find out!

We recently retested the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT with a slew of new DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 games and of course, new drivers! We also threw the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT into the mix. Unfortunately for ATI, the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT totally blew away the Radeon HD 2900 XT.

169.04 but it's a minor revision that only improves performance in Crysis.
