AMD has decided to push forward the launch of the Radeon HD 2900 series to May 2nd instead of the original date on May 14th. Better get your wallets ready people...

I'll beleive this when I see it!

I hope they can get something out... Not sure the ultra will come out earlier as 2900xt is competing with the gts, so the gtx is still the best, so nvidia is still the best.

If the xtx was coming and was actually beter than the gtx then i could see a reason for nvidia to release the ultra early... Seems a shame that amd/ati cant seem to get a break

Yeah Nvidia and Intel are all over them like a rash tbh.

Not sure the ultra will come out earlier as 2900xt is competing with the gts, so the gtx is still the best, so nvidia is still the best.

Agreed, by all accounts the Ultra will prolly be a paper release on the 14th anyway

Thats a good point. The only game that I know of that is getting a dx10 patch is COH2... Not even sure if the patch is out.

Other than that crysis etc won't be out until September so I'm forced to ask myself why do I even want to buy a dx10 card yet? (because i have the money lol) They are only going to get cheaper... Hmmmm...

People that need a graphics card upgrade should be getting DX10 cards, not people with 7900gto/X

Even though COH is getting the DX10 patch, Vista is still needed though right?
