AMD's Radeon HD 2900XT is a worthy competitor to nVIDIA's GeForce 8800GTX, but it's in the entry level and mainstream markets where AMD must go head to head against nVIDIA.

DX10 Videocard Benchmarks: Call of Juarez, Lost Planet
FONT face=Verdana size=2>While Call of
Juarez pulls off all the classic FPS mechanisms with aplomb, it also features
interesting variations that give it the air and feel of a true Western movie.
The player has the genuine impression of being a pistol-packing hero in an age
when armed confrontation was the daily grind for many adventurers. The
Developers have incorporated a classic shooting system as well as two extra game
modes.

At lower resolutions and lower image quality settings,
the MSI RX2600XT Diamond framerates aren't too bad. Turning up the eye
candy is too much for this MSI videocard however. Yet, to be fair it's also
too much for nVIDIA GeForce 8600GTS videocards.
This
fast-paced third person shooter takes you across the vast and frozen landscape
of E.D.N III. The ability to fight stealthily on-foot or from within heavily
armored Vital Suits offer two unique modes of gameplay. While on foot, use the
zip line to get to strategic enemy annilhilating vantage points and discover
unexplored areas and weapons. Or, jump into our vital suit or hijack an enemy
Snow Pirate's VS to go head to head with enormous and more powerful Acrid
foes.

Lost Planet is one of the newer DirectX 10 games on the
market, and man it looks like it's a true videocard killer! The MSI RX2600XT
Diamond does not do that well here, nor do the two Radeon HD 2900XT
videocards in CrossFire or Geforce 8800GTX for that matter.
