Thanks for the heads up. They changed the description to 256 bit now.

Wow, That card is at Newegg for 119.00$ shipped now! Iguess they want to get rid of them?
Nice overclock.

Edit: I looked for some benchmarks for this card. Seems to be on par with a x1950xt. If it overclocks like yours it should be up there in x1950xtx levels for 119.00$? Not bad.

Yeah not bad for $120. Yes it's 256 bit on memory, only 240 shaders (Pro/XT have 320). Card does run hot, and is power hungry. So far my Antec neopower 500 is running the card fine. I did not plug in the 8 pin PCI-E, used a 6 pin, working fine. Just don't have the ATI overdrive function. Using AMD GPU clock tool to overclock. Temps do hit low 70's running 2+hour of gaming .

Actually, they might still carry it...The status on the site changed from Deactivated to Out of Stock...That's a good sign...Let's hope they receive at least one more batch of these...If they do, this may be your last shot at getting one...

I think Atacom made the same mistake Ewiz made with a typo on the website...Part # 100222L is for the 256 Bit version, not the 512...This is also referenced in my previous post with the Ewiz typo...

The correct Part # for the 512 Bit version is 100212SR...

The price isn't as good at $169 plus shipping, and it's listed as "retail lite" package, but ewiz still has the 512 bit model in stock. Last week they had the full retail package for a little more.

Loafbread, your link still indicates the card referenced is a 512 Bit card...To reduce confusion, would you mind changing that to read 256 Bit?...Thanks...

i am glad i got my 2900 pro before they deactivated them. i bought the 1gb version with GDDR4 memory, so far i have been able to overclock it to 700 core and 2000 memory with ease and got a score a little over 10,000 in 3dmark06. i am very happy with it
