A user opens his newly bought Radeon HD 2900 XT and reads the manual... Wink

"Please remember when fitting the card that the jet engine is attached to the front..." Shocked

OMG LOL! Grin

heh woah! looks damn freaky to have now quad R650 configs then Iīm in Wink

well after June 28 I will show you a nice thing which I have obtained from an ATi Engineer who also took part of the R520 / R580 program.

a Prototype of the R580 aka X1900 XT / XTX cards.

itīs from week 45 year 2005 the core /mem speeds is rated @ 500Mhz / 1200Mhz it seemed to have a Rev.A1 VPU revision quite nice eh 8)

Hmm...

Okay guys Wink

I'm seeing almost 20 Pages of ATI *cough* Spam now, the Thread will be deleted when it hits 20. Otherwise, it will never end...

Nothing against ATI but enough is enough - the R600 has been released and failed miserably, nothing more to see here.

Yeah, even I'll admit that it's getting a little out of hand! Roll Eyes

I like ATI and all, but this is a 3Dfx forum...not an ATI one! Tongue

Spam sorry I donīt see this as spam to be honest since it is placed in the This & That Area donīt see a prob with that.

itīs something alot of us like besides 3dfx and hey it should be see as a pōssitive thing, okay there were some lost posts here true there but if people donīt like this thread nor ATi just keep awy from it since most 3dfx people use ATi cards I really never saw a threat in it anyways heh.

Whe my R580 Proto has arrived I will show it to yaīs since itīs something we never have seen upcolse heh.

but yeah the R600 was in somewhat of a way a failure but thatīs just a driver problem itīs performance isnīt bad for what it costs only the power consumption thatīs the major thing but then again a crossFire setup of 2 R600 beats every geforce out there so performance wise with multi VPU ATi sitill has that lead but with a single card itīs still green NV lol Roll Eyes

3dfx will always be our main thing here no doubts about that and yeah I am like many have though also ATI FanATic @ but it shouldnīt matter everyone has a second favourite thing here I believe Wink

Have fun everyone with what you have thatīs the most important thing if itīs a Radeon, GeForce or Parhelia if it pleases ya Live on with yo! Grin 8)

Well, I'm all for bringing the Kyro back to market. hehehe  Tongue 

3DFX, love'd them unfortunately with Nvidia having all core assests, this isn't a possibility. Both ATI and Nvidia regardless of what company you prefer both have pretty solid products.

The core graphics chips that were Kyro are still being modified and created through Imagination tech, they are only being used for Mobile's though. I say bring them back to retail video!   hehehe   Ok won't happen either but.......

Anyway, that's my two cents worth.  Later.

Out of 281 Total Postings by 14 Users, 123 were by you - a staggering 44%... Talking 17 times to yourself, repeatedly upto 3 times in a row...

Notice anything or is it just me ?

...and all this for a piece of Hardware, that
- shipped 6 months late
- consumes double the power of its competitor
- shipped with grossly incomplete Drivers and disabled or hotfixed features (Shader FSAA, no Hardware HD Decoding)
- failed to achieve adequate Performance

If that isn't "failure" by definition, I haven't seen any.
I'm still a happy AMD/ATI User, but I do see Reality when it shines through the window...

@ Falconfly

It depends on how you read my posts, since they were informative to the R600 as other launched ATi cards as comparrance tests results.

Since there were some off topic posts placed i donīt mind that I mean it happens everywhere, right ?

But if you want me to remove the unwanted stuff please tell me which ones and really I donīt mind. Wink


Do keep in mind that the Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB is aimed at the GeForce 8800GTS models:
Quote:

.......
...

Not bad for beta drivers eh?


And not against the 8800GTX as most do think about and that the drivers can only get better.

the HD 2900XT 1024MB is aimed at the GTX model as for the Ultra. that one will release soon and heh it wonīt have such a delay as the R600 did you are totally right there.

Most of my posts were informative about the R600 so therefore so many some were defensive since there were many NV versus ATi posts in my topic again and pro NV posts shouldn.t be placed in an ATi topic the whole idea of it was to discuss the R600 and what lies beyond it but since there were quite alot of ATi uses I changed it to an ATi news & discussion topic which was a more sensable idea.

but spam noway hozay wrong there bud.
I didnīt post links from warez sites , I didnīt show pro ATi behavior against anti NV things and so on that would trigger flame wars, which isnīt the idea just posted news as news blogs of ATiīs new chip the R600 as comparences of it compared to that of the competitor the 8800 GTS just to compare the differences in i most tests the HD 2900XT is faster but indeewdly not worth the wait I totally agree the drivers are indeedly still crappy they should of been alot better than they are now, the architechture of the R600 does look nice 4c 64 Stream Processors + 512Bit 512MB GDDR3 but it doesnīt show it true prommissed power but for 340 euroīs it is a bang for the buck compared to the 8800GTS  qua price performance but nor performance per watt which is the main problem people face, but a High end gamers rather looks at the price performance factor where the HD 2900XT really succeeds.

but even I am skipping it since it sucks far too much power, my advice is skip this one and go for R650 which is baked on 65nm and will use less half the power flow than of the R600.

So itīs not as dark as many see it, read the reliable revies of users that have the card and about 14 people of the GoT dutch ATi forum have the HD 2900XT and they are very pleased of itīs performance for what you pay for it but they do relise when FSAA + AF + HDR is enabled the performance drop is pretty big but the minimal fps is higher than that of a GTS as a GTX in many cases so even with that it isnīt as bad as many reviews make it look like Wink

I heard it from people I know and trust which I rather believe than some strange reviewer.

But yeaps I agree the power consumption is very bad heh norries there.

But about your thing about Spam, sorry mate couldnīt find any spam posts okay there was some confusion on page 3 but that wasnīt the reason to close this place nor was it, since you mentioned that yourself on page 5 Wink

Sorry, but I see no reason to cancel this discussion that way.

Opinions are there to be shared and naturally differ. No reason to lock anything.

Everyone knows Obi likes ATI (so do I), and everyone knows that many others do not. Nothing to get exited about IMHO, that's plain normal (?)

The only thing some may throw at others might be a bit of fanboy-ism, but that's not a crime (remember most of us were that way with 3dfx, many still are, so why not with ATI or NVidia ? ) Wink

Well, think about it what you want, but this Thread is gone if it gets one more Spam posting - my word stands as it is.

If people want Advertisement about any specific Card, they'll go look it up themselfes.

And because of that very reason, I will have to remove this Spam, otherwise anyone could - fully legitimate - open 20 Page "oh looky at this cool Stuff" Threads about any piece of Hardware they picked. And that's not what this Forum is for.

Summary from a current review :
- no reason to invest into a X2900XT CF setup
- draws significantly more power
- delivers 10% less performance than 8800GTS SLI
- existing Driver problems get worse in CF setups (16xFSAA fails)
- Noise levels : unacceptable

That card was originally targeted at the GTX and beyond - the only reason we're now seeing it priced near the GTS is the Result of the profound failure of that card to deliver what it was intended to.

And to you quoting me :
That was from 30 Jan (!)...
Where this Thread went in the meantime I demonstrated to you in my last posting - enough said.

I've been Moderator and Admin for a very long time, trust me that I can tell Spam when I see it. That's my job.
