With the Radeon HD 2900 XT outperforming the Geforce 8800 GTX with the release of new ATI drivers, it’s time to see how it performs compared to a Geforce 8800 Ultra. Our friends over at TweakTown.com have done just this with interesting results. Of course, we at FastSilicon.com feel the Nvidia offerings are better at this juncture, but for those hardcore ATI fans, the 2900 XT packs a hard punch at a lower price point. Combine this with Crossfire, and you’re looking at one sexy ATI system.

AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT graphics card really does continue to show how it can be a dominant card in the market and that the next offering from AMD/ATI should be a strong competitor, we think.

Sure, Nvidia’s GeForce 8800 Ultra continues to win but at pricing starting at around or sometimes over 40% of the HD 2900 XT, you would expect it too as well. You throw in the fact that the Intel P35 is the new “in” chipset (which currently only supports Crossfire for its dual graphics system) you really have to look at the HD 2900 XT as the graphics card of choice.

ASUS have got a fabulous HD 2900 XT package as well - the inclusion of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. alongside the normal Black Box is excellent and at least you feel you’re getting something extra for your money.
