Just ordered my 2900 pro.

JC316 · Oct 6, 2007

Well, I took the plunge. Went and ordered the HIS 2900 PRO Should be here on tuesday or wednesday.

yogurt_21 · Oct 6, 2007

should be a pretty good boost, lets us know how it runs.

twicksisted · Oct 6, 2007

hey dude... nice!!!

I got the HIS one aswell last saterday... and i must say i was really impressed with the packaging and build quality... its a beast!!! and so solidly constructed... you just can feel its gonna do the business.
looking online at the sapphire packaging.. it looks a bit shabby in comparison... im sure the sapphire card itself is fine though.

bet you gonna have a few restless nights before it arrives.. hehe

prepare to be impressed!!!

I see youre 3Dmark06 score is 6496 at the moment... prepare to double it!
Well i managed this below on a 3.2ghz overclock on my Q6600 (stock GFX):

Then i clocked the Q6600 to 3.4ghz and got this (stock GFX clocks):

its a beast

this card needs a high clocked CPU to really shine but i see you already clocked yours up... ... either way itll be the most powerfull piece in your machine and the best upgrade GFX you could get at this point

I am still on the retail cooler on my Q6600, so i only clocked it to 3.4 for a quick benchmark and then set it back down again after the 3Dmark06 bench... after that i then clocked the card to XT standards and have not done a bench with it... it ran comfortably at XT settings for 4 hours while i played "Medal of Honor Airborne" then i had to go to bed

Nice, wish I had the money right now to get one. Just replaced my radiator in my car today, that took over $160 of my funds. Oh well...2950pro here I come, well...probably after x-mas.

I just checked Newegg and found that they only have the HIS 512mb version in-stock, both Sapphires are out of stock. These things are going fassssst!

:toast:

Ouch, sucks when the radiator goes. The main reason that I ordered today was because they were going so fast. I didn't want to get stuck with an 8800GTS or something like that.

I want one

on the new card I paid $10 more for mine when I got it in 12/26/2006 :cry:

JC316 · Oct 6, 2007

The X1950XT is still a badass card, but then again, so was the 8600.... Currently on a Geforce 4 MX420 PCI

. I have to wait.

DOM · Oct 7, 2007

Hell man, the x1950XTX still brings 250-275 on Ebay, sell that mofo and get a Pro.

J-Man · Oct 7, 2007

Nice one.

B1gg3stN00b · Oct 7, 2007

I'm selling a few old game consoles on eBay and trying to get money for a 2900 and then going to take my next paycheck towards some better cooling for my PC.

I'm really excited, let me know what you think of yours when you get it.

Nah, thats fine. I am looking for a dreamcast. Been scouring craigslist, but haven't found anything worth my time.

JC316 · Oct 8, 2007

Project 2900 is full go. My 8600GTS is sold and my 2900 pro has shipped from Newegg to UPS and will ship to me tomorrow. I am pretty pissed about it being here on Thursday, but I will live.

Currently playing Xbox 360 and the old games like Diablo 2 on my computer.

Flash it to a XTX and sell as XTX. If it will work that is.
