2900 PRO...with a 512-bit memory interface!!!

I think HIS is mistaken

HD2900Pro might not have 512Bit memory interface

TechConnect Magazine - Radeon HD 2900 Pro priced

Ehh? 1 single store listed it as having a 256bit interface...but the manufacturer lists it as 512....I would trust the manufacturer? Also overclockers.co.uk and other sites where it's already available for pre-order list it as 512bit.

y have i not seen any tests with this yet? Another reason i was considering on getting a 2900 is because of this note that caught my eye. If this can be implimented in future games for PC, it can get rid of jaggies!!

i have yet to see if this is true or not.......

Is it shorter than the GTX?

 

[Invisible]

i would think it would be, as it is shorter than the XT and they still have to fit the XTX in there somewhere

So this isn't just a rumour anymore.

This is what one of the overclockers.co.uk employees has just said on his forum

Confirmed the 2900 Pro is a 512-bit memory interface. It is identical to the 2900 XT, except for lower clock speeds.

Its a short term product and as such only a few thousand will be available world wide.

Its basically a bargain from ATI to just upset NV by releasing a product that matches the 320MB 8800 GTS for less/similar money and has the scope by overclocking to outperform the NV part.

so we could overclock it to an XT speeds if we had a good cooler?

Yup....

Yup....

i find that hard to believe. the card could not be identical for that much less then the 2900xt. unless the clock rates a substantially lower.

The Pro is 600/1600, and the XT is 740/1650.
