Benchmarks Of ATI's First DX10 Card

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.
