Nice review guys, in all honesty, from what I've read around the net so far, there really isn't any reason to pay out the extra cash to buy a 2900XT, even if you had a 8 pin PCI-e PSU already and some top-end water cooling to push it's performance. I don't think it's a cost effective buy at this late in the video card arena. Ati/AMD needs to build and improve on it's current tech and maybe the next gen will be worth buying AMD/ATi again. And I was really hoping that the card would be a winner.........

suprised me! i'm glad that it's giving the 8800 GTS a bit of a run for the money!

i'm relieved it wasn't a complete bomb :D

Enjoyed the review.

Will you update the article and its benchmarks after drivers are updated? Certainly not every driver update though; you wouldn't have time for anything else in life if you re-tested after every driver update.
