And what happens when the 2900xtx comes out? You gonna upgrade to that?

The performance problems so far seem to be totally driver related, guru 3d identified a bug where fsaa in game crippled performance, ati are aware of it and are working on a fix. The xtx will really be just 1 gig of ram and a slightly upped core speed, if ati shift to 65nm then it wont be as power hungry and possibly perform better, if that does happen ill sell this off and get the newer one (performance depending).



I was able to get the board working by disconnecting my dvd rom and 1 other hard drive so currently doing some testing. So far like guru 3d said im seeing a bug with performance in call of duty 2, x1900xt and 2900xt getting virtually the same performance.
