Diamond Viper Radeon HD 2900XT 1GB Videocard Review

ATI is back in the videocard business, big time. ATI, now confusingly called AMD, (or is it ATI ?) has blitzed the market with a big red slice of silicon known as the Radeon HD 2900XT graphics processor. nVIDIA, which has gotten used to having free reign in the videocard market, must be sweating at the sight of Crossfire finally working with killer effectiveness.

Diamond Multimedia is getting back into high end videocards, and what better way to reintroduce itself than by releasing a videocard based on AMD’s blistering 720 million transistor Radeon HD 2900XT GPU, with a staggering 1GB of GDDR4 memory no less! It’s ATI’s absolute best technology available, and PCSTATS has two of these bad boys on the test bench today.

..If you have a platform that supports Crossfire, like the Intel P35 or 975x Express, running one or two of the Viper Radeon HD 2900XT 1GB videocards in your system offers a real alternative to nVidia’s Geforce 8800GTX graphics cards. No matter how you look at it, the future of DirectX 10 gaming has gotten much brighter with the introduction of Diamond Multimedia’s Viper Radeon HD 2900XT 1GB videocards.
