I`m not gonna mess with you John, cause you are a 100% ATI FanBoy.
OK, I guess you listen to robslin then , but heres the complaints
Has anyone else noticed performance of the 2900xt in vista 64 is severly lacking? My previous generation ati card is outperforming it. Just curious to know if it's just my system or if others are experiencing the same thing.
I guess if youre using Vista 64 then you may have some problems.
I just got a 2900xt today and for some reason I'm getting about 15-25 less fps with it that my old x1800xt in vista 64 ultimate and I have no clue why. when I first hooked up the 2900 I only plugged in 2x3 into the 8 pin slot cause I didn't know it needed two. In vista I got some warning message that said my psu might not be able to support my card and said the clock frequencies had been reduced. After that I turned off the computer and plugged in another 2x3 and didn't get the message again but I'm still gettin horrible frame rates in oblivion. Did vista turn the frequencies on my card down until I can somehow turn them back up? BTW it's reporting in the catalyst hardware information that the gpu clock speed is 507 and the memory clock speed is 514 and I know those should be higher caues those are lower than the x1800xt. Anyone know what's going on here
This is by the same poster, jusomedude, the one I referred to earlier, as hes arguing with you about the performance of the card he owns.... And finally your last link
My old system had a 6800GT SLI setup. I uninstalled the old nVidia drivers and replaced the cards with a 2900XT. I then installed the newest radeon drivers and updated my motherboard drivers (which is a nVidia nForce 4 SLI). I think that the card runs fine in games (it seems to), however, it will not load 3D Mark. It begins the startup scan, but never finishes. I wanted to run 3D Mark to make sure that there are not driver conflicts.
I also have a weird glitch in Oblivion. If I try to enable HDR, the game tells me that I cannot enable both HDR and AA, which I know this card can do. It seems that my computer can't get the card's information. It can't read the specs or temp of the card in programs like PCWizard 07 either.
I'm kind of lost on what to do next. I tried reinstalling drivers, but to no avail. Does this sound like a driver conflict? What should I do to make sure there are no old nVidia display drivers lurking around.
Anyone who has ever run oblivion knows you have to force HDR because the game itself wont allow it. OK you got me here, since running 3D06 is causing a few problems, then maybe he will have to figure that one out, tho I dont think hes going to get alot of game play out of it. So you linked to 2 owners, three thrreads. And guess what? I still havnt seen anyone trying to sue ATI for their drivers. And man, the cards been out for what? 8 whole days now, what a disgrace to ATI. Youre slamming the owner of the card, telling him how it operates, and at the same time including 2 posts from him, both of which deals with Vista64. Now weve all heard jeeeest a leeeel tiny bit about Vista and its gaming capabilities, now just imagine Vista 64.. I was trying to understand why you posted that no one that owned the cards liked them when that person was arguing to you about how much he liked it. Was this A youre going to hate that card even if you own it, run it, whether you like it or not post from you? Im sorry, I HATE correcting people on here, but I was wondering what youre up to. I dont want bad vibes or whatever from this post to you, but youve stretched a few things, so much so at first I couldnt figure out what you were saying. Let the owner of the card at least speak for the card in this thread ok?
