Sorry, I'm not allowed to do so :(

[r3b0rN]

man u can tell that now the system is now the bottleneck from the increase u got from oc'ing cpu+ram... sweet.

[zakelwe]

Don't show us the pictures then of the card overclocked ..just tell us ! ;). Thanks for posting the info though !

Interesting that with the cpu overclocked in 3dmark03 Gt4 nature got the biggest boost .. :eek: ( forgetting GT1 for the moment for obvious reasons )

I'd have expected GT2 to have been the biggest winner, then Gt3 ( which is more complex so you'd expect the video card to be more important ) then GT4. Wonder if Macci saw likewise ?

Sorry, what I mean is that I was not allowed to do any overclocking to the card. Sorry for my poor english. :(

[Kanavit]

im very impressed with the 3dmark2001 scores. 24k stock on an A64 3200+ is very good.

[pkrew]

Sems a little low for 3d03 from what I've seem, but then the A64 is a little weaker in that benchmark then the Intels

It is a A64 3400+ cooled by Vapochill LS :)

[Peen]

well i wonder what it takes to make it think its an XT :) ;)

[TinTin]

3DMAKR01SE, very fast, sure can get 30k with both CPU & Display card o/c.
3Dmark03, not quite fast, but I think it can get 10k.

Unfortunately, I can't test its overclockability.

I heard that X800Pro will be available in retail market by the end of this weekend.

[macci]

I think that certain lucky guys already have a Retail X800Pro in the US..
jason scored over 34k in mark2001 already with his at 700/600 or so (FX51 @3.1+ platform).

[althes]

Thanks for the scores.

ya, i was thinking that as well, most of the scores on various websites are in the range of 11-13k stock... :stick:

[Geforce4ti4200]

thanks for the benchies. stock 3400+ with bad ram timings and stock x800pro 24.5k thats sick! I know a stock 3200+ and 2-2-2-5 ram gets 20k with 9800 pro, 21k with 9800xt. that would be 25k with x800 pro and 28k with x800xt all stock! wow man. also wow you gained 27fps in drag high details with a cpu overclock. even todays fastest cpus are so bottlenecked by a STOCK x800 dragothic gains BIG from a cpu overclock. I gained very little in dragothic on my ti4200 with a cpu oc

yes, 25k should be acheived if the best ram timings were set. But I forgot to set this in the default benching, hahaha....... :p: :eek:

[PCBliss]

28k with a 3400+ and an X800Xt at stock speeds?? I dunno that seems crazy.

[Geforce4ti4200]

if you have the time and still have your x800 pro, try 2-2-2-5 ram at xp3200 then xp3400 speeds id like to see the differences. also try a 640x480 run(16 bit color)with your cpu maxed out, should be interesting especially nature LOL

Sadly, the card was returned to the manufacturer. =.=

I think i know why, the x800 hsf is actually smaller than the 9800xt which had ramsinks. it's because ATI wanted to eliminate any heat the ram was generating to help alleviate heat from the VPU. ram added heat to the copper heat sink , very clever design by ATI's part.

Its cause the new GDDR3 runs much cooler than GDDR2, and the HSF would add heat to the ram instead of removing it.

no wonder you werent allowed to overclock, it must have been an engineering sample for your review. No matter, best buy should have them in a few days if rumors are correct :toast:

Yes :)
I just heard that a few stocks are available in HK today, Sapphire X800Pro. Around HK$3000 (US$ 3000/7.8)

[Geforce4ti4200]

omg $3000 for a video card? I will buy you one and ship it to you. Best buy is supposed to have em for $400. shipping should cost ya like 30 bucks plus whatever customs costs

[EmineM]

3000 / 7.8 = 384 Dollars @ gforce

[pik-ard v1.1]

tintin - where in HK are you? im gonna be there in about 2 weeks... discovery bay on lantau island.

[althes]

I have to save to get one.Seems worth it.

[Kunaak]

those are nice scores, thanks for the eye candy.
it's very impressive to see these benchmarks run at default, cause I think everyone wants to see atleast a general idea of how they do at default ;)

I am living far away from Discovery bay. I'm living in NT's Taipo.
I think you must have to go to the Kowloon's Sham Shui Po, the biggest computer shopping centre in HK, but always crowned with people. :D

[pik-ard v1.1]

hm, ill be there for a month, so ill see what i can do about getting there. ;)

theres only one small computer store in discovery bay that i know about... but i can probably go to the mainland every day, though, i would easily get lost in kowloon :(

then again, get on the right bus, and i can get back to where i started :p: hopefully...

[qk4722]

good card

[Mrstickinit]

Anyone know if someone has benched the X800Pro with a "mid-level" system yet? Like an AthyXP 3200+ or one of the Mobile Athy's? I'm curious to see because my X800Pro will be on my doorstep tomorrow morning and would like to know what kind of Marks I should be getting.

Thanks

[Geforce4ti4200]

yes, one guy did but he was using windows xp with bad ram timings and probably had stuff running in the background too. yet he still got 18.5k marks and 201 in nature. scores of well over 20k, perhaps 22k is possible with a stock xp3200 barton on win 2k and dual channel ram at 2-2-2-11 timings but well find out tomorrow for sure ;)



edit: he just responded. 3-3-3-8 timings and single channel, ouch that has to hurt! dual channel at 2-2-2-11 would easily be over 20k. with win 2k, over 21k maybe even 22k

[Mrstickinit]

My card should be here in 2 hours....... w00t! Here are my system specs.....

Athy-M 2600+ running at 200x12 (2.4Ghz)
Corsair TwinX PC3200LL (2-2-2-6)
A7N8X Deluxe (revision 1 :( )
WD1200JB drive
X800Pro (in a few hours)

I currently have the 9700pro and the highest I can get on '01 is 18,630 Marks. I hope I can break 22k with the new video card. Only time will tell. I will make a thread here once I can run some benches because I'm sure that some peeps are interested to see what it can do in a "mid-level" system.

Not everyone here has phase change and a 3.2EE or A64 to play with ;)

Yes, please do, will be interesting.

I can imagine you are slightly upbeat about it's immenent arrival.

If i lived next door to you I'd be knocking at your door avery 30 minutes and then running off laughing . :) heh heh.

[althes]

WEll lets get a report by this evening on how the card rocks.

[Geforce4ti4200]

can you do a stock 2500+ then a stock 3200+ run? leave the ram dual channel at 2-2-2-5 I would be interested to see how high those stock speeds can get in a best case scinerio. I hope u got win 2k ;)

[Djuice]

me interested as well, ill probably get a new system @ the end of the year... So i would appreciate it, but if you dun want to its fine..

[Mrstickinit]

First run........ 21,777

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7826072

223fps in Nature..... not bad.

The card was overclocked quite a bit. The proccessor was at 2.5+Ghz too. I will be doing more detailed runs later tonight and post what I find in a new thread.

This card does kick ass though. UT2K4 MAX everything at 1600x1200 and all driver settings maxed out gives me an average of 55fps throughout.

[FrozenGPU]

Woah cool! 21k is sweet with Duron (?)

Do you have the extra cache unlocked on that chip? Could you do a run with 2.3Ghz, 200fsb cos my machine is that spec?

Sorry for all the requests and questions but these are exciting times :D

[PCBliss]

Damn i would love to pop that card in my barton system to see what would happen :)

[Mrstickinit]

My CPU is AthlonXP Mobile 2600+. I'll do a run at your requested speed and a few other speeds for the other peeps.

[Mrstickinit]

AthlonXP 3200+ (2.2Ghz 200x11) with X800Pro

20093 3DMarks

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7827468

[Geforce4ti4200]

id like to see what a stock 3200+ barton with stock x800 would get in windows 2k with dual channel ram at 2-2-2-5? 21k id guess

[FrozenGPU]

Thanks for the bench. I thought it would be more in the region of 22k. Maybe it could get that high if u oced the x800.

[Geforce4ti4200]

no, hes just ram limited and also win xp is slow, especially on amd

[PCBliss]

Lets see a bench at 2700mhz with the X800 Pro

[Mrstickinit]

I wish I could do a 2.7Ghz run with my rig. I don't have the necessary cooling. The max I can do is 2.55Ghz.

[FrozenGPU]

How many points would u gain by going win2k?

[Soulburner]

Nowhere near what GF claims...around 400-500 pts.

[TinTin]

I shall get a Powercolor X800Pro tonight :toast:

[Kanavit]

wow, i guess it's safe to say that buying a new video card is the best option when looking for gaming performance increases. nice jump. the R420 seems to be stronger in 3dmark01.

[althes]

TinTin good move, lets get some scores by tonite if possible.

[TinTin]

Just got my Powercolor X800pro, first test, running at 563/555MHz, stock cooling :)

[althes]

Alrite cant wait

[TinTin]

10941marks, CPU air-cooled, MACH II not yet installed. The X800Pro is now in water, hope it can go higher :toast:

[charlie]

could someone PLEASE post a pic of an x800pro without it's heatsink/fan :D

mmmmm....thanks!
Looks like a normal 80 x 80 HS/F will fit just like the r9700, r9800's

thanks@!

[FrozenGPU]

Nice score! :)

How many case fans do you have? And who's behind those windows? :D

[EmineM]

what kinda company is Grandmars?

[pik-ard v1.1]

its a hong kong company, it seems, like gigabyte, sapphire, making the ati cards for them, etc.

[Geforce4ti4200]

hows that do in 3dmark 2001, that got me real curious too ;)

[althes]

anymore scores

[TinTin]

Originally posted by EmineM

It is a company OEM ATi card such as Gecube, Powercolor....:p:

[Boyne7]

some nice scores there. cant wait to getmyself a nextgen card ie. 6800 or x800

[Geforce4ti4200]

just saw you get 29.2k with your x800 and over 250 in nature. congras! do you have windows 2k? I bet you can break 30k with win 2k and a few MHz higher cpu, gpu clocks ;)

I burnt my chaintech last night, just beep.....beep.....beep...... :D
You can see my CPU was only running at 2.6G for 29.2k, before, it could bench at 2.74G. My system was extremely unstable last night, so can't bench it at higher! Today morning my MB died. :eek:
Yes, I prepare to install windows 2000 for a better benchmark.

[JWB]

Sorry to hear that:(

Bad news Tin Tin, sorry to hear that. But it may not be that bad after all, now you have a reason to buy a new board with NF3 250 or K8T800pro. :D

[TinTin]

Abit KV8PRO will be available in HK next week. But still don't know the PCI/AGP lock works or or not since a review showing that it does not work.

Great news so you gonna get one? Yeah still not sure about the PCI lock....:mad: .

BTW, the K8NS is not very good after all cause I've been struggling with memory issue. And it seems like it will not run 2 x 512 at ddr400. Plus don't think that it likes CL2.5 and CL3. Therefore, I couldn't get my pc4200 above 230 without proper CL2.5 or 3 timing (and just 1 stick can do 400).

So if KV8pro has the lock.....:D :slobber: :banana:

If it is true I shall get one for overclocking.


;)

[Geforce4ti4200]

maybe just wait for s939? save your money dont bother with a dieing and problamatic s754. I probably will also go s939 it should resolve most of the problems and overclock better

[kromosto]

i am waiting for s939 too but got bored during this what a long time to wait :(

[althes]

I am waiting on 939 but its taking too long.

Nice scores. What are you using for cooling?

The GA-K8NS has working locks. It's great to be able to run your Raptors (or other SATA) without scrambling your OS.:D

[=[PULSAR]=]

I wonder how much higher the x800 xt can overclock anyone have one of those yet?

[StormPC]

NE1????:D

[=[PULSAR]=]

on the x800 series cards is the vcore and vdimm mod the same thing?

[StormPC]

Originally posted by =[PULSAR]=

Same as 9800XT I believe. Mine is stock@1.35v and I'm not even going to pencil mod it. 30k stock with no tweaks and just OC on CPU and VC is fine with me.

Geforce4ti4200:

The S754 is seasoned and rock solid. It's the S939 that is problematic (all new technologies are), but I'm still laughing at people that waited for the S939 like it was the answer to all of life's problems.:rotf:

When it's all said and done people will find that there is little difference in the 754/940/939 platforms. They are all AMD64 130nm CPUs and all pretty much the same.:D

[kromosto]

waiting for the s939 is not for the chip for myself it is all about mobos

EDIT: if 754 mobos are going to be better than s939 then i will go to s754 but dont want to handle the pci agp lock problem so didnt get a s754 before
