ATI X2900XT out finally!!

At long last, ATI's R600 GPU has hit the market in the form of the X2900XT! As of right now, Ewiz.com is the only etailer I can find carrying it. With 512MB of GDDR3 RAM onboard, a core clock of 750mhz, and RAM speeds hitting 1.65ghz, it looks pretty impressive. Preliminary benchmarks put it fairly even with the Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX, but I haven't seen any official benchmarks yet. The main addition to the X2K line is the addition of DirectX10 compatibility. It's sitting at $410 per card tonight, but should drop fairly soon. That's all I have for right now. Hopefully some official benchmarks will surface soon. Goodnight folks!


edit: The official name for this card is not X2900XT. It is in fact the HD 2900XT.
