MSI RX2600XT Diamond Review @ PCStats
Posted by Regeneration on October 23rd, 2007, 12:59 AM

After a year or so of disarray from ATi, then the AMD videocard division after the two companies merged, the manufacturing and design problems appear to be tamed. Slowly but surely its entry level and mainstream products are reaching the market and just in time as some big game titles are on the horizon. AMD's Radeon HD 2900XT is a worthy competitor to nVIDIA's GeForce 8800GTX, but it's in the entry level and mainstream markets where AMD must go head to head against nVIDIA.

The nVIDIA GeForce 8600 series already has a huge following, so it will be interesting in this review to see if the AMD equivalent, the Radeon HD 2600XT can stand its ground. The Radeon HD 2600XT is a higher-end mainstream GPU, and on paper it looks every bit as good as nVIDIA Geforce 8600. The Radeon 2600XT had 128 bit GDDR2/3/4 memory controller, a 300 million GPU transistor count, is built on 65nm manufacturing, contains a drop of alien technology and basically has all the numerical specs of a winner.

Im not very impressed, my x1950pro on this rig gets better scores and fps then their test rig and that rx2600xt in all the benchmarks and games they ran.

Right But this is not the point here ,is it?

They X19XX models can outperform a lot of cheap DX 10 cards ..Who cares?They are not from the same gen,they don't have the same goal..

This MSI HD2600 is not meant to impress people by her power,but by her bang for buck rate ,as all the HD 2XXX actually

And they are quite good at this ever more when C-fire is activated

for 150$ its defiently a good bargain, but imho cards higher in the evolution tree should perform better then thoes below it, but we know how the manufacturers, especially nvidia, like to decive you by giving a card a high end sounding title but its actaully crap (ahem 8500) glad i chose my x1950pro hd

Yeah right but we gotta think about those who want DX10 card for a good price.

But I agree X19XX series are good choice (what I did a year ago,now I'm waiting for the next gen )
