Didn't the HD2900 have a 1024 bit internal ring bus memory controller which was 512bit external (ie the 512bit memory interface)?

If it's longer & taller than the X1950 Pro then I highly doubt it'd fit in any of the G series. I'm hoping it won't be taller, longer I could deal with.

I would have thought so. Depends on the rest of the system as well.

Visiontek released a 3850 512 w/gddr4. dual slot cooler. It's on newegg for 199$ Someone reviewed it beating out an 8800gts at 16x12 resolutions...
It makes me hungry.

Wow -- I've heard. The GECUBE 512 MB HD 3850 (with their dual-slot cooler) matches a 3870 in most benches I've seen. It's a damn good card, apparently -- a little pricier than a stock 3850, but still not bad (around $200).

Id want to know if it comes with a suitable vista driver to work on agp systems using nForce 2/3 , via, uli chipsets in order to make use of its dx10 functions else its probably cheaper to get 1950pro instead. currently my x800 (with nf2 chipset) doesnt work with any driver other than cat 7.7 (which wont support this new card). 7.12 almost works in xp but gl driver doesnt work so have to use 7.7 in xp too.
might be useful to get the older machine upto speed with this card so that its still a useful box for lan games.

UPDATE: Wait, I'm wrong, bloody memory of mine. It was Hexus.net that said it'd have a 512MB frame buffer, not memory bus. Wanky ball piss. If y'interested here was the news article.

i wouldnt buy from Gecube, when you get a Defective Card they want to to deal with the Retailer that you bought the card from, Honestly id rather deal with the maker of the board for RMAs than the retailer that sold me the board

Anyone know whether HIS is also going to release such card with their popular exhaust cooler? I would buy HIS in that case.
