They have done just what needed to be done, giving the 2900XT a double dose of memory. This places the Diamond Viper at a full 1GB of GDDR4 running at 1100Mhz (up from 512MB of GDDR3 at 825 MHz). Take a look at the benchmark results PC Perspective has collected, and maybe you will start to understand why AMD just left the 2900XTX in the closet. For a graphics card that's close to the $500 mark, it doesn't provide much of a performance increase over the 512Mb model, and it's still behind nVidia's 8800 GTX. Could DX10 titles or better drivers help it enough to be number one? Time will tell.

What does it take for a 2900XT to become a 2900XTX? Basically, more memory, faster memory. When the DX10 parts were made available from AMD, back in May, you couldn't find this product anywhere. Without explanations, their top of the line card had disappeared, but someone felt it didn't have to end that way. Enter Diamond.
