【挂羊头卖狗肉】HIS 2900XT虚标UVD

IT SEEMS THAT the launch of Radeon HD 2000 series just cannot bring good news for AMD.
First of all, the driver that will enable us to do stable testing of single and dual HD2900XT cards is due out next week - we have tried to test apps under Vista and we were just gutted by the amount of "display driver has stopped responding" messages. But sadly, the topic of this story is not the performance of Radeon HD 2900XT, rather its features. Several well-known websites, as we reported, said that the HD2900XT features a Universal Video Decoder. What got things into seventh gear is the fact that several owners of HIS Radeon HD 2900XT smelt their opportunity for some serious dough - because a retail box from AMD's largest partners such as HIS and Sapphire state that Radeon HD 2900XT has UVD. For video-savvy users, UVD was hyped by AMD to heavens' high, so it is understandable that a circus was unavoidable.
A quick search on the Google for 2900XT UVD resulted in ton of links to on-line stores selling HIS boards, this was one of many
OCUK sells UVD R600s as well, same goes for Amazon, Newegg and many others... It seems that HIS released "UVD" on the retail box, but was not the only one, since Sapphire's promo text included UVD as well. We tried to check what was going on and what could exactly be the source of confusion. The answer is somewhat unlikely: AMD's own official slides. We got a hold of some presentations that were the source of confusion, and we will leave you to make the final judgement on this one. Just to let you know, 2900XT is not the only member of HD 2000 series that does not come with UVD. That Mobility Radeon HD 2300 is also a culprit, since it is a DirectX 9 part (rebadged X16x0).

Yet another 2900XT controversy

Written by Fudzilla staff

Sunday, 27 May 2007

UVD on the box, but not inside After so much R600 talk in the past months one would expect no surprises and controversies now that the card is finally out. However, it seems DAAMIT is not out of the woods just yet, and UVD marketing is another fine mess they've gotten themselves into. Since our beloved editor is enjoying the view and a barbecue on a hillside in northern Bosnia, you'll have to wait a bit for the full story. In the meantime you can check out an Inq article by our buddy Theo, here. DAAMIT, again.

循环不息的宇宙 如在照顾着地球
人在天天的进步无退后 如像霹雳闪电
如是变化百万年 无尽新鲜的发现造成每天
世界每刻急速旋转 像思想天天的转
散播信息千百年遥远 无穷新知将你我拉近
无穷传真送到我心 如能将心彼此牵引
这个世界 这个世界 这个世界 更快更真

其实就算这些称为核心的厂商，都搞不清具体的参数指标到底是什么，把不该有的功能当成有的，把核心频率或内存频率搞错，都是常有的事情，特别是新品上市时，他们自己到货也就发售前几天的事情而已，很容易在技术参数上以讹传讹——N和A都是这样，N卡得8500/8600搞得更混乱——哪怕是制造厂自己，由于销售和制造是两条线，很多时候非得事物开箱，上机验货，不然到底是怎么个参数，也常常弄错。

又听说是有UVD的但现在的驱动还不能用
