AMD Gets a GT Of Its Own, Radeon HD 2900 GT Card
Written by Mavke

Eager to avoid being the only major graphics player not to have a successful card with GT as its suffix, it seems that the folks at AMD are preparing a two letter wonder card of their own, the Radeon HD 2900 GT graphics card. Yes, so the Radeon 2900 series might have something of a bad name in enthusiast circles, but that hasn't stopped Sapphire attempting to revive its fortunes with a new variant. The memory is a 256-bit bus, power is a mere single 8-pin connector, and the core and memory clocks come in at 600/1600MHz. Basically, then, the GT is just a SKU made up of failed Radeon HD 2900 XT's, with 240 stream processors instead of the full 320 available. - The Inquirer

Unfortunately for ATI fans, we're back to the bad old days of dual slot coolers with the Radeon HD 2900 GT, which appears to use the standard ATI bondoogle. The video card appears to be heading squarely for the mid-range buyer with an estimated price tag of around $200. However, given that the GeForce 8800 GT will nail a Radeon HD 2900 XT for only $40-odd more than this GT, we can't hold out much hope of a sudden ATI fightback. It might just be too late for this Radeon HD 2900 GT, as NVIDIA has just taken it one step further with the introduction of the G92 series. Can you say stopgap?
