Recently found an E-Tailor (OcUK) doing this card for dirty cheap, so i sold my X1800 XL and gathered the funds to get it, and i have to say, it's a cracking card despite the 256mb!!

It looks identical to it's 512mb counterpart!

Not taken it off yet, not gona be doing either untill i get myself some new AS-5 seeing as i used it all up on my x1800 xl :(

I'm finding it hard to push anything more out of the card, i'm at 1.575v and it's only getting to the 740mhz mark with the core, memory is fine i think, just the core that's letting me down. Anyone got any advice with the core or some tweaks i can try? :)

How can i get the bios from the card?

atiflash, and i think ATItool will allow you to copy the bios from the card.

My x1800xt 512mb hits 740, 1.5, so you may want to cool it a bit better.

nice scores BTW...nice to see the 256mb ram fly as well as the 512mb...hopefully meaning it's really all down to the chips you get.

This is a bargain, seriously!

Does this have 2d/3d modes like a normal 512mb XT or is it like a normal XL? (just curious as to the differences between XL and 256mbXT, for example if it does have 2d/3d, is that all in bios or a difference at hardware level?)

It has the 2d/3d modes :)

It's identical to the 512 XT in everyway, except 256mb :)

Is there any way to get the bios from the card in windows? ATi tool doesn't let me, the box to do it is greyed out :S
