Samsung and Hynix are producing GDDR4 for manufactures using cutting-edge technologies called DBI (Data Bus Inversion) and Multi-Preamble, enable it to 56% faster than the top model of GDDR3. It’s expected that GDDR4 is going to replace GDDR3 in performance level in the upper half of 2007. The fastest record of GDDR4 is made by Hynix -0.7ns 16M x 32 512Mb GDDR4. It’s able to work in 2.9GHz with 11.6 Gb/s. Hynix plans to release a faster version of GDDR4 with 14.4Gb/s in the end of 2006.

Ya, seen that one last week

Shes nice

[NickS]

Hey, I have that heatsink :p:

[Shift]

So wait, installing a second X1950Xt would block some SATA ports?
Seems like it from the picture.

[NickS]

I'm liking the looks of that mobo:hrhr:

Pfffft, who needs SATA when you got 2 * X1950XTX :p:

[Kanavit]

I like this one better!

Yeah this one looks much better.

[mr_knowitall15]

looks like a decent heatsink this time. Also looks nicer.

[AlbanianOC]

hopefully quiter as well

then you're not looking at the picture with straight eyes... the second pcie lane is below the sata, and the back of the vid card is flat... of course, might be different on another mobo

i dont think thats the xtx; i think it might be just an x1950xt

[jimmyz]

i'd have plenty of time to look at that pretty heatsink because i would be removing it and installing water block as soon as i opened the box. it would look nice in the collection though!

so if you have plan to use x1950xtx ,you must choice proper mobo :D

[Kanavit]

hmm, I don't think there was a difference in heatsinks from the x1900xt and the x1900xtx?? OR the x1800xt /xtx?

[FghtinIrshNvrDi]

oh, they're using my gigabyte CPU cooler... Nice.

[Cooper]

Still only one heatpipe. Why won`t they put 4 and make bigger air intake ?

I think the ports are inbetween the two pci-e slots.
Sweet mother of graphics, 2x 1950xtx CF would be so nice. SO NICE :worship:

[Nanometer]

Wow, the card looks bigger when it's mounted in a mobo. Even so, it looks like ATI is doing somthing right, which has been a long time GPU cooling wise. :)

I perosnally stayed away from the 1800 and 1900 because of the crap-o-cooler.

[Eastcoasthandle]

I'll wait to see some benchmark results.
I'll wait to see how much heat is genereated
I'll wait to see how much power is needs.

HKEPC got it a week before and still no tests! lazy :slapass: :slapass: :slapass:

[Cobalt]

The current dual slot cooler was very good with the X1800 even if it was noisy. But it just wasn't good enough for the X1900. They should have updated it for that rather than waiting till now.

[Hicks]

Indeed. it should have less power requirments, having GDDR4, shouldn't it?

yeah I saw a heat pipe there... All they need is about 3 more, and they will be good.

Don't think so, the x1900XT cooler at max fan has 1 heatpipe ( i think) it does a good enough job, that sink has a much larger fin area, and bigger air vents, and a better fan

[n00b 0f l337]

No heatpipes on x1900xt/x.

Exculent! X1900XT/X had no heat pipes.. Bigger air vents... I guess this is good... Better fan.... :banana::banana::banana::banana:! the 1900XTX was loud as hell!

~Mike

[[XC] Lead Head]

Im not sure, but I think you under stood me wrong,


The x1900XT cooler does a good enough job cooling the GPU, it has no heatpipe ,smaller fin area, and a small restrictive air vent.The x1950XT sink has a much larger fin area,a heat pipe,and bigger air vents, and a better fan. the x1950's exahust vent is atleast twice as large as the x1900XTs, so the x1950 should be able to attain the same air flow at lower fan speeds

[arisythila]

I think it could have done better... and I think it could have been a bit quieter... Thats just me tho.. My 7900GTX cooled way better than the 1900XTX, with and without voltages raised....

I couldnt stand the ungodly whine the X1900XTX had when i went to go play games, I dont toss my mainbaord and stuff in a case anymore because I upgrade too much..

~Mike

That's one nice cooler, a lot of Cu.

Assuming core speed stays at 650MHz & GDDR4 mem is clocked to 2GHz on the X1950XTX; How would this card perform?

Maybe:

X1900XTX + ~10% = 1950XTX
1950XTX + ~30% = 7950GX2

?!! :stick:

I guess GDDR4 mem can only do so much, 1900's aren't exactly starving for mem bandwidth.

So, 7950GX2 remains the fastest pure DX9 card on earth.
Unfortunately the fastest card doesn't support AA + HDR@FP16 blending. :slapass:

:cool:

[BlackX]

1950XTX + ~30% = 7950GX2


What are you talking about? 30%? :stick:
X1900XTX is even faster than GX2 in some games.
GDDR4 should OC to 2.5Ghz without any problems.
So 750/2500 MHz on this cooler wont be a problem I suppose.

[arisythila]

you happen to have a X1950XT?

From what I've read X1950XT/XTX has GDDR3 1800 mhz.

I maybe wrong tho.

[biohead]

read the first post bud.

i think the card will benefit greatly from the faster memory, as it's always been starving for bandwidth.

#1) ATI won't run the GDDR4 mem higher than 2GHz! Not even if they're perfectly stable at 2.5GHz. The GPU mem controller plays an important role & decide the upper limit. ;)

#2) You really do think 1900XTX = 7950GX2 don't You?

*maybe not 30% but at least ~20% [ my :slapass: guess ].

:D

[BlackX]

LOL!

1600x1200 AA 4x, ANIS 16x. Of course at those settings GX2 ownz. But look at the tests without AA and ANIS :stick:

[DilTech]

Dude...we don't buy videocards costing $500 to play without AA/AF.

Playing without AA/AF is a sacrilage if you own a high-end card.

[SturmoV]

No heatpipes on x1900xt/x.

Exculent! X1900XT/X had no heat pipes..
~Mike


It does have one. When I took off the fan on my X1900XT, I saw a copper pipe near the fins, buried deep inside...


Edit: I found some pics of a disassembled cooler:

Exactly what I was expecting. Yes I know that GX2 is the fastest card around. 2 cores against 1 hmmmmmmm which is faster...

Just wanted to say that there is no way that GX2 will be overall 30% faster than X1950XTX :p:

[andyisc00l]

do you think you could somehow remove the fan they have on there, keep the heatsink, and then throw on a few 120mm fans? think that would do much?

[DilTech]

I agree with you there...

Maybe at 2560x1600(30" widescreen) with 4xAA/16xAF, but other than that the difference won't be so pronouced.

yeah 2 cores are going to be better than 1... But I dont think X1950XTX will beat 7950GX2 at higher resolutions.. But hell, next generation GPU v. Old generation GPU, theres a chance that it will work very well. Especially with them probably working very closely with AMD....

We just gotta wait and see. I hope ATI does good.

~Mike

[grimREEFER]

in superpi 1m, the 7950gx2 and the x1900xtx are equal!!!!!!!
but seriously, do we reeally need more dx9 cards?
nvidia, start getting those g80's in stores!
also, from this point last year, to now, technology hasnt really come a long way in the graphics department.....
i mean, the 7800gtx and x1800xt perform pretty close to their replacements.

[Eastcoasthandle]

Not when you are playing online and don't have the bandwidth and CPU power to spare... It's also been rumored that Crytek's new game Crysis was run on DX10 and not DX9. Question is...how was that possible? They were able to show you real time video of it using DX10? If there are no DX10 cards out there...how is that possible? Sure I can see a beta of DX10 for vista, but how do you get a VC to run at DX10...unless they are not telling you something...intersting conspiracy theory...
Another rumor floating about is that x1900xt/xtx and up will receive a bios updating making it fully DX10 compatible.

[[TAG]Imp]

Besides, it's been rumored that ATI X1000 series only needs some sort of bios update to be dx10 compatible...hmmm interesting...
nope, nice try...:nono:

This has to be the dumbest rumor in a long time, can't see why one would spread it.

Nope, All current Crysis videos and screen shots have been done on x1900XTXs in crossfire, they said themeselves in a video

Where is this video of Crysis?

[Daveb2012]

How does this card compare to x1900xtx?

[Miwo]

ughhhh where the hell are the benches? They've had the card for over a week now

Debating to wait on this, or jump the gun on an xtx. I can get one for under $350..

i mean, the 7800gtx and x1800xt perform pretty close to their replacements.

Nonetheless, from June 2004 to June 2005, Nvidia's high end card remained the same. 6800 Ultra. Ati only increased their speeds by 20mhz or so. So to have the Nvidia top end card nearly 50% higher clocked, and Ati with 4x as many pixel pipelines is pretty special imho.

That said, i agree, we don't want a refresh we want a DX10 card.

Anyone actually planning on buying this card, considering DX10 is coming in the very near future?

Looks like heatpipes to me... :slap:

[n00b 0f l337]

Nah those look more like heat distributors.
Same concept as a heatpipe but can work in either direction to try and even out any delta from one end to the other.
