The ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT is going to be a deadly extreme Dx10 card. The AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900-series features 320 stream processors, over twice as many as NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800 GTX, isnt that really suprising.

The R600-based ATI Radeon HD 2900-series products also support 128-bit HDR rendering. AMD has also upped the ante on anti-aliasing support. The ATI Radeon HD 2900-series supports up to 24x anti-aliasing with physics processing. NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800-series only supports up to 16x anti-aliasing.

24x AA is way too much, looks like AMD is really going to manufacture killers out there which will strangle out the 8800’s.

The entire AMD ATI Radeon HD 2000-family will sport the latest Avivo HD technology.
UVD previously made its debut in the OEM-exclusive RV550 GPU core. UVD provides hardware acceleration of H.264 and VC-1 high definition video formats used by Blu-ray and HD DVD. The AVP allows the GPU to apply hardware acceleration and video processing functions while keeping power consumption low.

The cards are scheduled to arrive within a week or two with the coming of the Nvidia’s Dx10 cards. Best of luck to all gamers, save some cash for getting a monster, im trying my best to save.
