lol i know. But we should wait and see how these cards do with Crysis. Which nVidia will probably come out better since they are supporting crysis so much.. but you never know...

I'd buy the 8800 gts 640 mb. I like nvidia more, and it performs more or less the same as the hd 2900 xt.

I usually like to let the dust settle after a GPU release before hopping on board a new graphics card.

For something proven? Any 8800 gts really..... but giving the HD 2900 XT the chance to get proper drivers, that DAAMIT card in a heartbeat.

Even with some loud noise and heating coming out of this card, I think I would pick the XT for price/performance ratio.

XT no brainer especially when you factor in the HDCP compliance, the fact that HL2 E2+P+TF2 comes with it and the fact that ATI has said it will be releasing new drivers shortly that will significantly boost it's speed.

Most sites already show the X2900XT is far ahead of the GTS empire, at least when it gets to a real higher resolutions. The GTS really only holds against it at low resolutions like 1024 by 768 and I'm sure even that will change come the new drivers.

I will wait for it to get cheaper first. Is R600 still using Unified Shader Architecture? I mainly want a card with such spec to balanced out performance to all games.magicalclick

Yeah it is, but what do you mean by still?

I would rather have the 8800gts 640mb. I have the 8800gts 320mb and it is insane. The only thing i would like to have on it is more ram. I would have chosen the 8800GTX if that was on option though.

give it a few months for decent drivers and it will slot in nicely between the gts and gtx without such random results.

2900 XT comes with a coupon for HL2:E2. 'Nuff said.

Performance should increase (in games) once better drivers are out.

lol the 2900XT 512mb owned in 3dmark but sucked when it came to the games :lol: that's just insane though, they are doing these benchmarks at
2048x1536 res O_O wow i need to upgrade my monitor...zero9167

But doesn't this tell you that it's only ati's drivers that are holding it's performance back in games?

I'd bet in a couple of months the HD2900XT will be able too at least catch up with 8800gtx benchmarks.

Nice.

I might have to sell my X1900 for the HD 2900. It's served me well, but atm I'm broke and I really want that card lol.

I'll just wait until someone like GeCube make the card (don't like the HIS or Sapphire stickers XD Yes, I'm picky). 

im confused now:cry:

druglord6

It easily beats the 8800 GTS when AA isn't implemented. It only loses when AA is used because of faulty drivers.

It might be a good idea to wait for the 2900 Xt's drivers to clear up, or to game at high resolutions without AA for the time being.

But right now, you'd be a fool to choose the GTS over the XT. Don't forget that you get 4 games (possible 5 if you go with ASUS) with the XT, most notable of them is Half Life 2: Episode 2. All this at the same price too.

But there's no dx 10 games for a few months either,so what's your point?

Well my original intent was to buy Crossfire HD 2900XT 512mb.  So that is what I would buy.  I won my 8800gts, so it pushed the 2900xt back.

i didn't found the FX5200 in the opitions:P

so i voted to 8800gts 320mb, as my monitor's max RES is 1280x960, and there is no difference between the 2 8800GTSs at this RES, and it's cheaper...
