The HD 2900 Pro just sort of appeared one day.

There was no large launch event; no rash of rumors anticipated its arrival. The HD 2900 Pro's release wasn't preceded by press-release, fanfare, or parade. The card just sort of happened.  You might have heard about it on the net, but if you weren't paying attention the card may have just slipped under the radar.  Come and gone before anyone was the wiser.

Priced competively against the 320 MB 8800 GTS video cards, the HD 2900 Pro has a great deal in common with ATI's top-of-the-line HD 2900 XT.  In fact, what most intrigued us was the fact that the 2900 Pro had the exact same number of stream processors as the top of the line card, and from all appearances only differed from the more expensive 2900 XT by clock speeds and a more affordable price point.

Today we are looking at one of these out-of-nowhere cards, send to us by our friends from PowerColor, and you're going to see why you ought to be excited by this sleeper hit.  So let's get started!
