ATI Radeon HD 2900XT Sets New Performance Record in 3DMARK 05

AMD says that enthusiast Marcus Hultin (alias Kinc) of NordicHardware.com used the ATI Radeon HD 2900XT GPU to successfully set a new single card record in Futuremark 3DMark 05, with a score of 30,092. Hultin's system was operating an ATI Radeon HD 2900XT tuned to 1144 MHz engine clock and 999 MHz memory clock at a temperature below freezing. This leaves the previous top 3DMark 05 single card record of 29,686 in the dust.

AMD introduced the ATI Radeon HDTM 2000 series on May 14th, 2007, a top-to-bottom line of ten discrete graphics processors for both desktop and mobile platforms. This family of GPUs delivers The Ultimate Visual Experience through best-in-class immersive high-definition gaming and high-definition multimedia playback. The ATI Radeon HD 2900XT features a customized version of TSMC's 80 nm HS process, delivering higher clock speeds and greater performance tuning capabilities. ATI Radeon HD 2900XT comes bundled with an offer for three free software titles from Valve (Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two).
