Murasamewhat interesting specs are you referring to? Nothing I can see has changed since Gecube announced the card.

Some people still don't think it's 512bit still. kinda shocked my self feel bad for those who actualy got 2 x2900XT's lol.

Hmmmm wonder if Crossfire would work with a 2900XT??? :D

However I would think a decent 2900XT would clock higher, am I right in thinking the pro has 2 x 6 pin PCI-E and no 8 pin so less power consumption or is it just a single PCI-E?

Edit: And I would take the e buyer price with a pinch of salt TBH plus it is listed with XT clocks if I'm not mistaken.

I Am Selling My 7900 Gs

I was hoping it wouldn't need the weird eight-pin connector...

Oh well. My 2600XT does the job well enough anyways :D.

the pro is basically the 2900xt that didnt pass the speed test, so they're selling underclocked 2900xts basically. a simple bios flash would easily get your crossfire working and it should have the 8 pin stuff since its basically the same card and core and stuff as the xt.

The pro has an 8pin in all the pics of it I've seen. Just look at the pic of the HIS pro in the OP and you can see the 8pin.

anyone hasa translation tool?

Translation to non-geek speech:
"The video board uses two power thingies. One has like eight little divisions, and the other has six little divisions."
Translation to almost geek speech:
"The graphics card uses two power connectors, one 8-pin, one 6-pin."

EDIT: Oh sorry, forgot to add "lawl" onto the almost geek translation.

i kinda want to translate teh link in teh OP still ...

OH! Well, it's kinda self-explanatory, I've gotten used to filling in the gaps I don't quite understand. Like when they're testing 3DM06 performance before overclocking, I can tell they're simply saying "the 2900Pro is this many points behind the XT, and the 8800GTS is blah", I find it easy to fill in the gaps.

And I knew you meant a proper translation, but I've been too sensible today that I wanted to act like a 'tard for a bit. Heh

Here's a full spec from Powercolor for the Powercolor 2900Pro shown on the UK's E Buyer site should anyone be interested, it clears some speculation up, some people appeared to think that it wouldnt actually have a 512bit ringbus for example............

www.powercolor.com/eng/products_features.asp?ProductID=1587

I just want one already! :toast:

wouldn't the 2900pro oced kick the crap out a 8800gts 320?

i reckon it would,its nigh on a 2900xt if oc'd

iono some reviews sites show the 2900xt beating the 8800 gts's and some show it the other way around. hard for us ppl to believe which. good thing i dont care cuz i prob wouldnt even feel the difference.

we'd need like tec ocing if we want to beat a 8800gts 320: www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=857&model2=707&chart=318

Problem with the tom's graph is they don't update it when new drivers come out. Those numbers are pretty old.

Side note: why do no sites ever test new gpu's on wow? Thats the only game I currently play on my pc and I can never find out if a newer nicely priced card would be worth it.

i dont think wow really has intensive enough grafix to be used for benchmarking lol.

panchomani dont think wow really has intensive enough grafix to be used for benchmarking lol.

You'd think so. Tell that to my dead x1900gt that wow killed. I didn't even have every thing maxed out and only 2xAA on. Now I can't even turn on the 3dview in atitool without my screen freezing. My memory on the card is corrupt as hell. Also I'm a raider. So I almost only logged on for 25man raids. 25man raids will bitchslap your comp. With everything on max its a lot more intensive than you would think.

But can the 2900Pro overclock as much as the XT? Can an OC'ed 2900Pro beat an OC'ed 2900XT?

Very nice card, THREE heatpipes on the cooler O_o

Lopez0101But can the 2900Pro overclock as much as the XT? Can an OC'ed 2900Pro beat an OC'ed 2900XT?

More importantly, can it beat an overclocked 8800gts with AA enabled.
