2.0 out of 5 stars BUYER BEWARE! The radeon HD 2900XT is flawed. AMD dropped the ball, May 28, 2007
This review is from: Diamond Viper Radeon HD 2900XT 512 MB GDDR3 Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
I purchased two HD 2900XT cards for a crossfire setup. A HUGE MISTAKE!! I immediately noticed a low frame rate when anti-aliasing was enabled. I tested many games and actually found my old Radeon X1900XTX setup to run faster in several cases. I also noticed severe problems with image quality. Half-life 2, Oblivion and many newer games had blurry HUDs, fuzzy text, washed out textures, some artifacts, rendering errors, objects not rendered properly. To sum it up, it looks TERRIBLE. In comparison, my X1900s had a much sharper IQ. This is unacceptable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Please boycott this electricity hog, January 4, 2008

According to Tom's Hardware, this is one of the most energy wasteful cards you can buy, consuming more power than the rest of the PC (including the monitor!) combined, even at idle. Please boycott this product (and the Geforce 8800 cards) until the vendors start producing cards with more reasonable power consumption. Future generations who have to live on this planet will thank you.
