HD2900XTX Doesn't Exist!

[fierydemise]

My top secret source inside AMD known to me only at OLLOR has officially confirmed that the HD2900XTX is vaporware. According to OLLOR after 3 respins the XTX has failed to reach clock speeds high enough to justify its existence and has been officially scrapped by AMD in favor of a dual GPU card known as the HD2900X2 which will be available about 1 month after the HD2900XT is officially launched.

Apparently the HD2900XTX will be just like 6800UE, although reviewers are receiving samples the clocks cannot be reached consistently so the card is being scrapped.

Link to dt benching? I am sure it is not satire aa secret sources are always good for official confirmation. Anyways nothing new, a nameless source said much the same thing.

KristopherKubicki, AFAIK an Anandtech employee:

"
Unless something changed -- Sven got an XTX about 2 hours after Anh got the XT. Sven is benchmarking now and we should have that up this week.
"
so they got a REAL XTX and are already benching it.

Close that thread

As I already stated this card has been sent to reviewers however it will never be released to the public because they can't reach high enough clock speeds consistently.

Well, this would be a funny way of saying "Rollo said the 8800u doesn't exist."

 

[mooncancook]

I think R600 is really taking too long that the video scene is getting kind of dead and ppl start to miss Rollo...

 

[Ulfhednar]

Lock.

Stop trying to scare every one.

 

[hans030390]

OMG!!! TEH END OF WORLD?

I heard a rumor that there will be no more video cards after this generation...

DailyTech say they are benchmarking one right now so one of you is wrong.
