R600 overclocking tool outA German etailer called grafikkartenpower.de decided to list the Sapphire Radeon HD 2900XT 512 MB GDDR3 card until DAAMIT forces them to take it down.
At press time, you can order a dual DVI card with AVIVO and this cheap thing should only set you back €365. The price is really getting competitive against the 8800 GTS 640 MB cards and this is good news, as the performance is very comparable.
As we are sure that ATI will force the etailer to remove this page on its site with blackmails that they won't get any volumes, here is a picture for your viewing pleasure. The link is here. By the way this was not the first time cards appeared online for sale, as we already reported about cards on pre-order here.
Radeon HD 2900XT scores 10,600 in 3Dmark06TechPowerUp! has it
W1zzard, a key figure in the graphic overclocking market and a good friend of Fudzilla has released an R600 overclocking and monitoring tool.
The tool supports R600, RV630 and RV610 and all previous Radeon cards. It looks like his card worked at 63 degrees Celsius, at least that is what the tool reported. You can get it here and we have already downloaded it.
Radeon HD 2900XT heats up to 82 degrees CSources have confirmed that the ultra hot Radeon HD 2900XT card will score about 10,600 on a Core 2 Duo X6800 CPU. If you have a quad core CPU you will be able to score 10,800 in 3Dmark06 at default settings.
This is a good score and, at least in this test the performance is comparable to the Geforce 8800 GTX. Unfortunately it is not that fast in games.
If you overclock the Core 2 Duo to 3.5 GHz or more, then you can even score 13,000 in 3Dmark06. So now you know, and these scores where produced using the 8.361 driver
mai usurati...poza dedesubtWe created a lot of noise with the original 100 degrees Celsius article.
Luckily we have friends who wanted to help us out in our quest for truth. It turns out that testing the card without a case on in a 20 degrees C environment, the temperature of the Radeon HD 2900 XT will reach over 82 degrees.
There is a catch in 2D mode, as the temperature will be stable at about 58 degrees. In 3D mode the R600 chip heats up to an average of 68.4 degrees or in worst case scenario 71.3 degrees.
In a closed case enviroment the situation gets even worse, so you can expect even more than 82 degrees, not far off the 100 degrees that we originally reported.
Here is a picture.
, deja la caldura si consum ii calca pe urme..
Nici macar coolerul nu ajunge la turatie maxima.€80 PSU enough for 2900XT
Our sources confirmed that the Radeon HD 2900 XT works great with a Silverstone element 500W. This PSU has two power rails and each can provide 18 Amps. So this should be enough and the card works well under these conditions.
This PSU has two separate rails for the graphic card and it is doing the job well and it can power the Core 2 Duo system at the same time.
The good news is that at least in Germany this PSU costs under €80. You can buy it here.
But for Crossfire you need 750W+.
Până acum spuneau că nici nu se apropie de GTX... în mod normal aş fi crezut că au făcut un typo, dar paragraful al doilea confirmă cele afirmate în ultimul.ATI has a new driver for R600, Radeon HD 2900XT cards. It is called 8.374 and it is suppose to speed up the Radeon HD 2900 XT cards for up to five percent.
With this driver the card will finally become a bit more competitive but it will still lose in any scenario versus Geforce 8800 Ultra. ATI knows it but it can not do anything about it.
Well at least it will get a bit more faster and will help ATI win over the GTX in at least two games, Splinter Cell with 1600x1200 4X Anti aliasing +16X Anti aliasing or higher and Need for speed Carbon at this resolution or higher.

INQ au fost prezenti in Tunis,deci au semnat un acord de confindentialitate.Observ în continuare o schimbare rapidă de atitudine din partea Fudzilla în ceea ce priveşte noile plăci ATI, iar INQ. tace mâlc. De ce oare?...

They don't sign NDAs either. They are gentlemen journos.
Nu tot ce s-a discutat şi prezentat la Tunis a fost disponibil "ziariştilor gentilomi". NDA-ul nu este doar o hârtie, este un contract foarte serios, şi numai pe baza lui s-a putut intra la unele demonstraţii şi şedinţe.Mike Ji to Chris Ji: "Have the NDAs been busted?"

FUDzillaHD 2900 thermal numbers out, 225W
Three kings including the XL
ATI will introduce three Radeon HD 2900 cards on the 14th of May. According to a document we've seen the most powerful one is called the Radeon HD 2900 XT 1024MB DDR4. Its TDP, thermal design power of the GPU, is an astonishing 180 Watts, while the whole board dissipates 225 Watts.
The second card is the Radeon HD 2900 XT 512 MB GDDR3 and its GPU's TDP is 160W due to slightly lower clock speed and the whole board again dissipates 225 Watts.
The third and final card is the Radeon HD 2900 XL, a cheaper version of the marchitecture with 512 MB GDDR3 and its GPU will dissipate 130 Watts, while the board will dissipate 205 Watts. We believe that the power components on the card gets really hot, 82 degrees C on the outside of the cooler is what we've already seen.
FUDzillaSeven of them are 65 nanometre
ATI will launch nine cards in the new Radeon HD 2000 series on the 14th of May, at 15.00 Central European time or 9 AM Eastern time. It will start talking about nine cards, seven of which are 65 nanometre.
The one we talked a lot about is called Radeon HD 2900XT with 512MB GDDR3 and it's powered by the R600 and manufactured at 80 nanometre. This is the fastest card to hit the retail and etail.
Next up is the Radeon HD 2900XL card, again with 512 MB GDDR3, R600 chip and 80 nanometre core. The rest of the cards are 65 nanometre and are HD 2600 or HD 2400 based.
The fastest mainstream card is the Radeon HD 2600 XT with 512MB of GDDR4 memory. It is based on the RV630, 65 nanometre chip. The next one is the Radeon HD 2600 XT with 512MB of GDDR3 memory and it will be slightly faster than the GDDR4 card. It is also based on the RV630, 65 nanometre chip.
The third RV630 card is the Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 memory. This card is also based on the RV630, 65 nanometre chip. The last RV630, 65 nanometre based card is the Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 memory. We still don't know the exact clock speeds but we believe that DAAMIT still has to make its mind up.
At the entry level ATI plans to launch three HD 2400 based card.
The top one is the Radeon HD 2400 XT with 256MB of DDR2 memory. This card is based on the RV610, 65 nanometre core. The second one is the Radeon HD 2400 Pro, again with 256MB of DDR2 memory and based on the RV610, 65 nanometre core.
Last but not the least we have the Radeon HD 2400 PRO with 128MB of DDR2 memory. This card is also based on RV610, 65 nanometre core.
So now you know.
