I have a $100 MSI 8600 GT that does 750/1000. It is even the passive kind. I put a near-silent 80mm on that cooler and the card never gets above 56 C or so now lol.

I couldn't believe how far it overclocked. I didn't even buy it for gaming primarily. Just wanted a silent, cool, and fairly low-power video card for a always on desktop.

The 2900gt, if priced right, could be the 8600gts killer that's been lacking. Pricing will be important.

This card should have planned one of these from the start IMO.

I'd seriously consider buying a 2900GT to replace an aging 7800GT, provided it runs cool and relatively quiet. With a single slot cooler, of course. Oh, and it has to cost $150-$170. And it has to be relatively close to the 8800GTS in terms of performance. Yeah, I want a midrange card like they used to make them.

Unless that card is less than $175, or even $150, I don't see why anyone would want one. It won't have UVD, it's been crippled and it will still probably require a small nuke plant to power it.

Seems like a real "we hope people buy it without thinking" type of deal.

But I'd still like to see benchmarks on it, even if I have no interesting in buying one.

I wonder if it has occurred to any of the marketers that there are other numbers below "9". I mean, I think "2800" might work. The 2900 Pro becomes the 2800 Pro, and this GT becomes the 2800.

Wait, what am I thinking *smacks self on forehead* this would make sense. We can't have that now.
