The HD2900XT has arrived! Initial observations: The card is cumbersome, and puts out a lot of heat.

Nicely done, bro! Damn, that thing is a monster. Is it any bigger or the same size as nVidia's 8800 series video cards? I'd be interested in knowing how much it weighs...

A tad longer than 8800 GTS, a tad shorter than 8800 GTX. ;)

Due to My PSU not having an 8-pin connector, there is no chance to OC the thing. I am working on getting a new PSU...

I also should mention the fan noise is not bad at all compared to X1800/X1900...

The reviews I've seen show an AMD GPU over clocker. Maby ask around if there is a download link?

Got the drivers from ATI website today.... There is one problem I do not think the DLable drivers have the drivers to AVIVO, there is a unknown PCI device in my device manager... I gonna figure it out..
