Learn more about the Radeon HD 2900 Pro

More details have come to light about the new ATI upper-to-mid-range graphics controller.

AMD’s latest launch in the VGA market is a new upper-middle-end video card that easily meets the needs of the average gamer. Already in early August wrote about the HD 2900 Pro, but now more information has come to light about the video controller.

Fudzilla reporters believe the R600 Pro GPU will have a TDP of less than 150 watts and will be equipped with 256-bit 512MB of VRAM, providing 51 Gbps of bandwidth to the core ticking at 600 MHz. The number of combined shaders is halved compared to the HD 2900 XT - that is, in this case we can talk about 160 - but this also seems to be enough to loosely put the GeForce 8600 series behind it. However, the real question is what the extra-successful GeForce 8800 GTS can offer against 320MB in performance - and let’s not forget that NVIDIA can resort to even significant price reductions as a countermeasure.
