Our
friends from Japan informed us that Sapphire has started shipping its HD 2900
XT cards in the islands.
The
card is known as Sapphire HD 2900 XT 1GB GDDR4 PCI-E DUAL DVI/VIVO. The confusing
part is the frequency as some stores claims that the card works at 825MHz core and 2100 MHz
memory, other version works at default 740MHz core and 2,200MH GDDR4 memory and
the last shop claims 740MHz core and 2,050MHz GDDR4 memory.
It will cost 78,800.000 JP Yens or about 470.755 EUR which is not that bad for a card wit 1GB of DDR4 memory in Japan.
Last time we checked the GDDR4 memory on these cards were
supposed to work at 2200 MHz. in case you are in Japan and your Japanese is still good you can read more about it here.
