ATI RADEON HD 2900 XT 1024MB Review

The ATI RADEON HD 2900 XT 1024MB PCI-E is for those users who want a gaming graphics card with a huge memory capacity. Does it make sense to pay more than for the 512 MB modification?

Our tests show that there are almost no performance differences between 512 MB and 1024 MB modifications of the 2900 card. That is, the difference (for example in SS2) is not big enough (in games with high memory bandwidth requirements in the first place), to pay for it so much.

At the same time, we can see that the HD 2900 demonstrates good results in some tests and even outperforms its rivals. It’s still far from the 8800 GTX level, but that card is more expensive. All 2900 cards should be cheaper to become more attractive.
