As you may know if you follow these things, AMD's Radeon HD 2900 XT graphics processor, also known as the R600, wasn't exactly a rousing success in all areas. The chip brought big gains in performance, features, and image quality, but it was late to market. When it arrived, it was fairly power-hungry and simply couldn't match up to the performance of Nvidia's top GeForce 8800 GPUs. Worse yet, the gaping hole between the $149 and $399 price points in the Radeon HD lineup left many enthusiasts wanting more.
