So, what I am hearing is that the 2900XT pretty much sucks whether it is the 512mb or 1gb version. I saw at newegg that they have an EVGA 8800GTX for $516 US after rebate. That's not much more than the $489 US for the 1gb 2900XT. I am using Vista 64bit and don't plan on sli. I'm trying to...
That's interesting. I hadn't heard that. My main rig has 2x X1950XTX cards. I have another desktop with a 5900 Ultra and my XPS M170 laptop has a 7800 GTX. I do about 50% of my gaming on my laptop so I didn't want to spend the amount of the GTX Utra. The $489 price of the 1gb 2900XT looked...

The info may be premature, but according to ATI/AMD, the R600 is supposed to be their last "large" GPU card. The future R700 is supposed to have multiple small GPU's.
That's correct and why the manufacturers will be the only ones with the OEM version of the card. They will have to design their cases around that card. The retail version will fit fine in the current cases that people use.
That is the OEM version of the card. It will only be available to manufacturers. This info has been around for a while now, I'm surprised none of you have kept up with it. The retail version of the card will be a little over 9 inches long. That article only gives you half of the info. The...
I have had my 3007wfp since November and it is perfect. No problems at all. I got the 5 year replacement warranty. I recently upgraded to the high end PureAV dual link dvi video cable. I didn't think it would make a difference, but it does look even more vibrant now.
