Worth Reading?
ATI had its new X2900 XTX at CeBIT and the folks over at VR-Zone were able to snag a few shots of it, as well as some interesting benchmarks.
First, the card clocks at 800MHz with one gigabyte of DDR 4 memory. With that much power, it also will consume a considerable amount of juice. The good thing is that in the preliminary benchmarks, it beat out the Nvidia 8800GTX in the 3DMark06 with a score of 97xx to 95xx. It’s not a huge difference, but the drivers aren’t finalized yet, so we may still see some increase in performance.
Expect to see these in stores around mid-April. We’re not sure what the cost of these is going to be initially. But you can bet with ATI stepping into the DX10 game, the price wars will begin.

stop copying stupid stories from vr-zone cos theres noway in hell that amd would let the r600 be benchmarked, 2 of those cards make up a terraflop so saying its 200 ponits more in 3dmark05 is total bs geez we wasnt even allowed to have a proper look at the r600 so that sayin of benches really is true is it so why lie???? why do you people get sucked in???. it may have been the 80nm gddr3 underclocked r600 that was benched but i cant even see that ,HAHAHAHA still think its so funny about the benchmarks nvidia probably started this story,well i wont be listening to any news that you supposed reporters say cos your liars i mean benchmarks.

2.the benchmark scores dont add up ?
3.wheres the screen shots of this benching?
4.who done the benchmarks
5.how much did nvidia pay to start spreading this story lol
