ATI Radeon HD 2900 XTX, Doomed from the Start

The guys over at DailyTech were able to pit the ATI flagship Radeon HD 2900 XTX against NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 GTX. The results aren't pretty. AMD's flagship ATT Radeon HD 2900 XTX fails to usurp the GeForce 8800 GTX's performance crown.

wow that's surprising, why would ati release an inferior product after months with the 8800.

And DANG, those things are huge, they stretch across your case their so big. But I'll never pay anymore than 200$ for a video card because I have my...

360 + halo 3 + gears + mass effect + assassins creed + and more

Not to say PS3 buyers don't have something, I just like the 360's line up more for my own personality.

yeh i agree, and my graphics card in my pc is fine with me, its an ATI Radeon X800 GTO PowerColour and when it starts getting a bit on the slower side compared to what i need with the games, i will just overclock it hehe

Rooted_Dust6225d ago

Any $500 card can drop below $200 given a years time, which is usually the wisest move.

gta_cb6225d ago

that sucks but im waiting for the ... i think its the R600? well i cant wait for it :P

hfaze6225d ago

Although after comparing the specs on the GeForce 8800 chipset and the R600 chipset, this performance gap HAS to be due to bad ATI drivers... Which is an issue they're notorious for... (especially if you're a Linux user stuck with an ATI graphics chipset...)

I would give them a year or so to straighten out the driver issues before taking the plunge.

Unfortunately this same online magazine showed the ATI walking all over the Nvidia a couple of days ago.

Also look at the following link. Evidence that the ATI is doing quite a bit better than the Nvidia while running Crysis. Note the lower amount of memory being used by the ATI.

NVidea is learning to use the same marketting techniques as Sony. No wonder they work toguether to make the PS3. I'm sure Nvidea has something to do with this report. I'll say, wait until both cards hit the market and which one is better will become obvious.

As I said before Direct X 10 cards are meant for Direct X 10 games, they wont be all that powerful running direct X 9 games. Put in crysis or fligth sim 10 and compare the FPS, there are also the fact that they are using a driver for an unreleased product while Nvidia had 5 months after launch to fix up their drivers.

Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?

If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.

-Foxtrot4h ago

If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.

Nixxes can help with the development and release the games at the same time..

Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.

PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.

XiNatsuDragnel3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.

shinoff21833h ago

I don't see a big deal. The sales also help future development. I'm all in.

thesoftware7301h ago

This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.

If they release it day one many will not buy a playstation anymore (me included).
