His 2900pro hits NEWEGG

[QUOTE="musclesforcier"]

[QUOTE="-CheeseEater-"][QUOTE="Hiryuu_"]Due to the fact the HD2900Pro is a much better value than the 8800GTS 640MB and 320MB, and that the 1GB GDDR4 version shows almost no improvement over the standard 512MB GDDR3 version.Wesker776

You have any benchmarks to prove otherwise, because I can find many that say the 2900 is better then a gts...

Knock yourself out.

Are you saying the XT is not better then the GTS?

your joking...that card at that price will make Ati alot of $$$kruesader

Not as much as the RV670 would...
80nm, ~700million trannies, huge die, huge pcb, huge 512bit interface, there is nothing cheap about the HD2900Pro, other than the price.

While AMD isn't losing money, they certainly aren't making a large profit.
This is basically a way to liqudate the lower binned XT cores to make back some money and gain a little market share, basically by beating the G92 to market.

If I were Intel, I'd be throwing money at ATI as a token of gratitude right now - with a card like the HD2900Pro on the market, demand for their X38 chipset should shoot through the roof - as cheap and effective as Crossfire on the Pro will be, there's pretty much no reason to pick up an nForce board anymore, unless you're the most die-hard of Nvidia fanboys who doesn't want to upgrade on your current motherboard.

My apologies. I thought you said that the GTS was better than the XT (it's happening a lot on these forums lately).
