VR-Zone reviews Radeon HD 2900XT

Clicky. To sum it up, it performs very similarly to the GeForce 8800 GTS, but has very bad performance problems when AA is enabled in certain games.VR-Zone reviews Radeon HD 2900XT

From what VR zone are saying anyway it seems like a Driver issue (wouldn%26#39;t surpise me, especially after all the issues Nvidia have had with drivers).As for the card itself, looks pretty good. Remember, this is not AMD (or ATI%26#39;s) top card, that will be the 2900XTX later this year, so for it to match the GTS is a lot of games, and to nearly match the GTX is some games is pretty good. And Driver updates should help improve performance aswell. Btw, those shots of CoJ in DX10 look awesome (the cliff one does anyway lol, the water one looks a bit better).

Hopefully, the 65nm version of this card will kick some ass and make NVIDIA sweat again.
i think its drivers as well
