Benchmarks for ATI Radeon HD 2900 XTX and ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT- A big disappointment

Non of this proven, it is some random site spouting information without citing information, or even proof.

Dude! dailytech is Anandtech! it's there spinoff site they made to do things like benches and news..

 

[CPTMuller]

Because I would think that most of the games are a bottleneck for the cards.

Dailytech is not like The inquirer. Daiytech is one of the most trusted website on the net....

Ati officially announced that the r600 will not be able to keep up with the 8800's.. Here's hoping the hd 2600's fare alittle better.

They are saying that X2900XTX might be delayed to Q3 2007 because of it's poor performance....

 

[maroon1]

Err, why is the XTX performing the same as the XT? I don't think those benchmarks are very trustworthy.

Because there is no big difference between XTX and XT

XTX just have a faster memory, and I don't thing that faster memory would make any big difference in terms of performance

We saw a bigger improvement between the x1900XTX and the x1950XTX, but perhaps that was because the memory was more of a bottleneck on those cards?

this is kinda depressing

not even AMD could help ATI.......

If intel and nvidia team up, the end of the world may be at hand.......

On the other hand, as long as the price is right, i wouldn't mind a lesser performing card than the 8800's......... I certainly don't need a $400+ card for my needs.

You wouldn't agree that the world orbits the Sun

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

 

[PabloTeK]

He's saying that those results are bona fide, but surely the XTX will seriously outperform the XT? Those margins look a bit mini.

 

[ETSA]

The XTX has a faster core clock and faster memory..

 

[ducis]

does seem possible I mean ATIs R600s out spec Nvidia in every way

 

[chipnibbles]

Higher core clocks and memory mean nothing. If you have a car with 500HP, what good will it do if it can only run in 1st gear? Smoke the tires away very fast. You put a 200HP with 6 gears, the one with popcorn under the hood will win the race.

 

[maroon1]

The XTX has a faster core clock and faster memory..

AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT (745 MHz core, 1600 MHz GDDR3)
AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900 XTX (750 MHz core, 2020 MHz GDDR4)


The only difference I see is memory speed....

5MHz difference in clock speed is noting....

ATI will release Radeon HD 2900XT and XTX on May 5

Radeon HD 2600 and 2400 will be released on May 14

Nvidia will also release 8800 Ultra on mid May

http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4930

Is the 8800GTX better than the 8800 Ultra??? Is the 8800GTS better than the 8800 Ultra??? Where does the 8800 Ultra stand price wise???

8800 Ultra > 8800GTX > 8800GTS

8800 Ultra is going to be very expensive, $850 !!!!

 

[The_Beast]

holy s**t, for $850 it better fly to the moon in performance

 

[heyman421]

in 2 years, it will be a $60 card, rest assured

i don't know why anyone would blow that much money on a video card

pipe line length?

2900XT/XTX have 320 stream processors, but it operates at much slower speed than 8800GTX/GTS. In G80 the stream processors and ROP (Render Output Pipelines) operate at a different speeds. In R600, both the stream processors and ROP operate at same speed.

GTX has 24 ROP, and GTS have 20 ROP. 2900XT/XTX have 16 ROP. And ROPs in these card operate at same speed as their clock speeds.

However, the 128 stream processors in 8800GTX operates at 1.35GHz, and 96 stream processors in GTS operates at 1.2GHz

The 320 stream processors in 2900XT/XTX operates at the same speed as their clock speed.

I think thats the reason why 8800GTX outperform 2900XT/XTX (even thought it has less stream processors)

 

[ETSA]

I was talking about current cards. I did not realize you were speaking about the cards that haven't been released, apparently you know someone at AMD/ATI.

This is all still speculation as far as I am concerned.
