Why would it not work?

PCIE 2.0 is just marketing, and only a nice feauture if a card needs the bandwith. PCIE2 and PICE1 are compatible so dont worry.

So if there's gonna be a midrange R670, will there be a high-end card? :wtf:

yes, and i doubt theres any performance penalty either, though there probably will be with the next generation of gpu's (r700, g90)

ok ... after this is released and the first set of price cuts ill buy one ..

hope ill have the money then, cause ill be going back to school ..

Why didn't they just slap a 512 bit bus on the thing and call it a 2950xt. Maybe throw in some more stream processors, and give it a 1 gb version.

Don't let the cat out of the bag dude!

Well if the 2950pro lives up to these specs it will definately be a worthy investment and replacement for my x1950pro which replaced my x850pro (modded to 16 pipe x850xtpe and OC'd beyond) which replaced my 9600pro if ya see my trend. And by then more DX 10 gaming should be present, even so, DX9 will still be dominant, so it'll be the next gen DX9 brawler with better DX10 performance (maybe decent drivers)...and DX10.1, unless it's an early release and instantly widely supported, I don't really care.

But the card sounds great! By that time I should be ready to make a jump on a new vid card, as I'm pretty content with every game I play right now at 1440x900 with settings cranked up. Hell maybe by then, I might be on Intel's next chipset and dual core (possibly quad if a better purpose for them arises) with some better timed DDR3 (I'm impressed how far they've gotten so far...imagine by the end of the year or early next year!).

Alas time will tell, but I figured if it wasn't 2900pro, it may be of the quick-fix next gen 2900 replacement, the 2950 series. That's how I see it with the 2950's, but it is a welcomed and good thing in my mind. The 2900's didn't do as hoped or expected, which was fine because they can OC and still do good. :toast:

wow, nice specs, good speeds, and they didn't cripple it except on the mem bus (which will only matter at higher resolutions) so definetly a good card, hopefull it'll remain at the low cost and we'll see a much faster/better card in the 8600gts's price rtange, fully capable of crushing it.

YES YES YES! I've been waiting for this!

Pinchy · Aug 23, 2007

Sounds good to me

.

If they put a 512-bit bus on it, they would have to charge more or lower the current 2900XT prices, which isnt a smart thing to do

If there's a 2900 Pro coming along with the 2950 Pro, then I'd say the first mentioned will... fail. Sure there'd be some buyers for it, but why to choose a more power-consuming ''old-gen'' card over a new 55-nm ''next-gen'' one? Beats me... :laugh:
