the specs are worng up above, they say the ram speed mhz is 825 mhz its actully 1.65 Ghz if your going to report information on a card get information right at least. you even got the clock speed wrong. Chipset: Radeon X2900 XT Engine Clock: 750 MHz Video Memory: 512MB DDR3 Memory Clock: 1.65 GHz Memory Interface: 512-bit Bus PCI-Express x16 RAMDAC: 400 MHz Connectors: Dual DVI; VIVO (HDTV ready) Thermal: Fansink Support ATI CrossFire Technology Support HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection Support Microsoft DirectX 10, Shader Model 4.0 and OpenGL 2.0 the pixle pipe line is suposly acrodding to ATI the same as the 8800 GTX but not like it really matter Nivida is having driver problems with vista and the 8800 and ATi I has always had software issues with its control center. as for benchmarks never really pay atteiotn to them not senese Nivida was Caught cheating. using software in the card to infalate the benchmark score in 3Dmark. if this happens to be a stable card I may get it. also ATI has bunch more cards it plans on releasing. the Nivida cards are way over priced for what you get, and ATIis priced is quit a bit better for what you get.
they also have fixed tons of crashes, Actully all time iv been running beta and now full verision not one crash, and when something dose crash it never crashes the whole OS. just that program even if its game or gfxs issue. I have gotten all my games to work fear, at least games i want to play age of empires 3 and war chifes black and white 2 medieal 2 total war, company heroes, europa universalis 3, galatic civilizations, oblivion, warhammer mark of chaos, supreme commander will work, hearts of iorn 2 and doomsday. i am pissed off about battlefield 2142 but i blame, EA for that you can not run that game with out admin rights even in XP you couldnt run that game if you where in a guest acount or a acount that wasnt admin which is stupida. on top of that game came out 4 months befor relaese of vista there was no reason it couldnt been tested for vista, it wasnt even teted for windows xp 64 bit.
