Test:
We used our usual test setup and compared the card with 8800
GTX and GTS 640 MB cards as these are the real competitors of the Radeon HD
2900XTX. In some scores we used an overclocked EVGA AC3 8800GTX 652/2000 MHz, so the
card that should be very close to Geforce 8800 Ultra speeds.
We will focus on the scores of Radeon HD 2900XT versus
Geforce 8800 GTS 640, but we will comment the other scores as well.
To make one thing clear at the beginning Radeon HD 2900XT almost never wins over Geforce 8800 GTX, not to
mention the overclocked 8800 GTX. It is not in the same legue but to be fair it is
a bit cheaper than these cards.
We used:
Intel Core 2 Duo 6800 Extreme edition
Nforce 680i EVGA board
Corsair Dominator TWIN2X1024-8500 at 5-5-5-15 at 1066 MHz
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 400GB SATA NCQ hard drive
Akasa EVO AK 922 Blue Athlon 64/X2/FX cooler and Intel CPU's
Silverstone DA750W modular PSU
