first off there is a typo in the review showing the wrong resolution in the graphs for the clock for clock it should read 1920x1200 but it shows 1024x768
secondly i had one of those eye brow raising moments when the 2900xt did so well on the demo. I know its early but something nags me about how I always feel like nvidia come out of the gate with a bang and the ati part is always the long distant runner.
I own the 8800gts 640mb and it was hands down the best video card purchase I made considering I bought it the day it was released. I am pleased with its performance and think it looks nice. I came from a 1800xt that I thought had great iq for its day and held up well in many games as it aged. I do like to see that the ati part could possibly be competitive and I really hope that helps out on the cpu side. No time to feed flamers but I just thought it was cool to see the under dog take even a small little bit.
it seems like the unreal 3 engine is going to play very nicely on our multicore cpus as well. good times for the computer ahead I think.
