Our first news post that did not come from some other site.

Is really good or is a better performance 1gb over 768MB?

Wonder how it fares against its 512mb counterpart...

Still needs better drivers.

The preview looked bad, some people blame it on drivers(myself included :D).
I like the positioning of the power connectors, if your case is at the limit you'll still be fine ;).
What else..hmm..lets see it in action and it looks like Mike is lucky or has a friend on the inside. heheh :D

@anonymousD Mike is not lucky. The site is finally starting to draw the attention of video card manufacturers. In fact, I intend to introduce myself to Nvidia/ATI at PAX this year. At least one of those companies will be there.

Huh... Maybe it isn't in drivers, maybe some games just can't use ATI's powerful card :)

I hope that 512Mb more memory (total 1024) helps. If not, then ATI is screwed.

That thing is dressed to kill B).

Looks good but is it any good?

I like to think the attention is thanks in no small part to Steve's excellent job with the news lately...:)

GPU review finally gets some well earned attention! AMD seems to have made quite a good marketing decision here. Everyone believed the R600 to be a flop at its initial release, but now, with later drivers, and more memory, those reviews will be getting a refreash, as almost everyone reviewing the 1gb model will be reviewing its 512mb counterpart.
So, the differance the drivers make in FPS will become apparent. Like everyone else here, I hope they make the drivers, and if VRzone's rumors about a broken AA architecture are true, and the possibillity of fixing it with a simple firmware patch are also true, perhalps we can see the drivers(and a firmware patch) make a huge differance in FPS.

Been reccomending this site for a few months now ;)

@Kriza : It's definitley the drivers . I hope they will be releasing a new batch of drivers along with the 1 GB GDDR4 HD 2900 XT . The performance between the 512MB GDDR4 and 1GB GDDR4 should be quite nice , since it's clocks are bumped a nice amount higher too . Well it's good that this site is finally getting noticed by the big companies .

@anonymousD Thanks man!

Dressed to kill is right. And congrats on the recognition! I love this site!

As some have probably seen on FUDOs site,

@anonymousD: Great work man. If u want a word of advice - I find it most efficient to put the link in my sig.

@aliquidparadigm I just found that this morning and I am going to make a news post for it right away!

@Evil: Could u make a forum post for this aswell?

First - Kudos to the GPU Review Team - this is definitely my only "go to" resource for all things video... Keep up the great work.

The Extreme-PC review seems very pro ATI, and hey why not - they are from Canada... My concern is that all the ATI banter clouds the review of the actual hardware - they should let the numbers speak for themselves and leave the editorial on AMD/ATI for another article. And in reference to their numbers and charts - I see loads of what appear to be discrepancies either in the labeling on the charts or typos but the attention to detail is lacking. I read the article through twice and was more confounded by the data they gave. They praised the card but according to most of the charts it takes 2 2900s to beat 1 8800Ultra... Hmmm Frustrating...

@KARacing : it was 2x 2900s to beat 2 8800 Ultras.
Any reviews of this card out as of yet?
