Hmm, impressive looking. I still want to see the 8700 series though.

Does it have the same amount of shaders so it's just underclocked?

Yes the review confirms that HD 2900 Pro is going to be cheaper, underclocked HD 2900 XT, which is intended to fulfill the gap between HD 2600 and HD 2900 XT series.

Thanks, in that case I will be interested to see some real comparisons against the 8800GTS probably 320MB version as I would guess it will be priced around there for the UK.

buy em quick tho',apparently gonna be limited numbers of these cards.
http://forum.ncix.com/forums/display...3152&Itemid=34 The good news is what you get in the box is a fully fledged GPU with no feature cutting, it's just clocked a little bit slower from above link.

If Im not mistaken, its already been reported on here that this card will come in at the $249.00 Price point. The fact that this bad boy can oc and take on the 2900XT is simply marvelous. You basically get the same card for half the price and with DDR3 memory <G>.
Also, I wouldnt think this card is to be sparring with the 8800GTS, now when the XT is doing that. Im assuming the 8700 as was mentioned or perhaps and 8800 GTO or something.

This is total crap bullshit. It's like they're trying to ruin thier market price for the 2900XT and make consumers buy thier 2900pro. Which when they would suddenly release a 2950XT which is much much better. Don't say me for being an ass but it really sucks for someone who bought a 2900xT and realise a 2900pro which is cheaper is better.

Me too! Only as an investment of course, especially if they really are going to be sold in limited numbers, you gotta all remember the 7900GTO......an underclocked GTX for half the price that overclocked to faster than GTX stock speeds, I got one, they sold out almost worldwide in a few weeks, I would quite like to get my hands on a couple of these, keep them new and boxed for say 3 months and then sell them
Thats very capatalist of course but I just cant help myself...............![]() Edyt: Anyone for an awesome 8800GTS 640MB Gainward????

hopefully it will start a price war, £129.99 for this or a 320mb GTS sounds good, i'd buy 1 of each, maybe even 2 radeons
