Launched on May 14, 2007, the Radeon HD 2900 XT is the first of ATI's new HD 2000 series of desktop graphics cards. Based on the long-awaited (and long-delayed) R600 VPU, this makes it the first ATI desktop graphics to support DirectX 10. Like its rivals from NVIDIA, it features a massively-parallel unified architecture with general-purpose stream processors, instead of dedicated pixel and vertex shaders.
