X800 XT question

[Sancho]

Does the platinum edition mean anything? I thought I heard somewhere that all x800 XTs were PEs. Now Im a little confused...:confused:

If I remember right they have a slightly higher clock rate.

X800 XT PE
Core Clock : 520mhz
Memory : 560mhz

X800 XT
Core Clock : 500mhz
Memory : 500mhz

x800xt pe is AGP4x/8x
x800xt is pci-e only

Thats what I heard also but according to ATI they will be releasing a plain X800 XT model in the future.

I see all XTPE's at 525/575 and XT at 520/560 clocks must vary through each manufature.

Sapphire is currently shipping RADEON X800 XT AGP graphics card clocked at 500MHz/1000MHz for core/memory, slower compared to speeds of the RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition’s 520MHz/1120MHz.

I just installed my Sapphire X800XT card that i got from newegg and its so far clocking at 542/606=1212.. Its water cooled and i cant believe thats as high as i can go on the core without artifacts. Only install OCZ copper BGA heatsinks on the mem.

Just to add a bit to the confusion:

I bought a Sapphire X800XT PE so the guys at Sapphire are making those as well.

Good times.
