R600 GPU overclocked to 1GHz!

AS EXPECTED, Monday was completely marked red, with the launch of Radeon HD series of products. Since AMD only did a hard launch of a single product, the 2900XT, most of the sites reviewed exactly this card. We have received around 50 reviews from different sites, which means that this launch has really been massive. Sadly for AMD, a lot of reviews were negative - but then again, what to expect when a nine month old product comes with drivers that have issue in Crossfire and perform better in higher resolutions than in lower ones.

Without further ado, Radeon HD 2900XT got reviewed on following sites: Driver Heaven, HardOCP, IT-Review.Net did SLI/CrossFire, OCWorkBench tested ASUS EAH2900XT, PCPerspective, and we'll end with TheTechLounge.

However, there are two reviews that we have to point out: Italian PCTuner and Singaporean VR-Zone. Guys from PCTuner overclocked the GPU to 0.98 GHz, while Shamino reached the mark first set with Radeon X1800XL - 1GHz clock for the GPU, in 1:1 sync with the GDDR-3 memory.

Christian Harris from BIOS Magazine decided to break away from the mould of AMD and R600 coverage by reviewing USRobotics MAXg ADSL2+ Kit.
