ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT Vista Performance
Test Setup
We try to use our own timedemos whenever possible, but will use the in-game timedemo or record a few minutes of gameplay using FRAPS if that's not an option. The games are Half-Life 2: Episode One, F.E.A.R., Prey, and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. All benchmarking results are the average of at least three runs of each game at each different setting. We bench using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista Ultimate, and the latest video card drivers (ATI 8.37.4.3, NVIDIA 158.18). The driver settings were left at default, and transparency-sampling anti-aliasing was left off.

on June 2, 2007 - 10:51 pm Just a heads up that you might not know but the HD 2900XT does not actually feature any HD hardware acceleration at all. Check up on http://www.techreport.com for the verified word from ATI themselves. Apparently only the lower end versions have it, much like nVidia's situation.

on June 2, 2007 - 11:29 pm Yup, we posted news about that, linking to Tech Report as a matter of fact. :) http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11599/Radeon+HD+... Thanks for the heads up, in any event. :) 3 - Posted by

on June 3, 2007 - 11:25 am You're right though, I word that awkwardly, and probably shouldn't say in the conclusion that it has hardware Avivo (which what it doesn't have is HD Avivo). On the other hand, it still uses Avivo, and the video playback quality is far and away better than on the 8800GTS 640, specifically SD playback. I can't vouch for HD content because I don't have HD media yet.
