Oldschool competition

[M.Beier]

Recently, I found my sweet old X850XT, and I remember we had quite a benchmark round on XS with this series, I aired my thought of giving it a shot on my new setup to stephen, one of the oldtimers, and he said it would be unfair... :p:
(He beated me back in the days, PURE luck, shh :p: )

So how about it boys...? Should we make a round with them 45nm's?

I've made this thread as I just noticed mikeguava's signature... : - )

X850XT - what a great card. Mr. Grayskull did such an outstanding job with this card. Always game for some old school GFX benching

Got one sitting that could deserve a ride around, I'd be in.

[Johnny Bravo]

AGP or PCI-E ?

[Ashraf]

Or onboard video? :p:

[n00b 0f l337]

Would it matter? I've got a PCI-e.

[NickS]

Darn, I got an X800XL, not an X850XT tho.

[mrlobber]

Haha, one X850XT in da house and I was just about thinking on stocking up some hwboints with this one :hrhr:

[n00b 0f l337]

Hmm anyone else in? We could open this up to the entire X800 and X850 classes.

Good timing.

That kind of narrows it down alot about who can enter. How about something like for cpu's you can only use like pre core 2 and pre AM2, and vid cards have to be Geforce 6000 series and less or X#00 series and less. That way it really is old school, not just old school vid cards on core 2's. Just a suggestion.

[AnXioZ]

Barton 3200+ and FX5900XT as main rig here :D

My friend Wasky, X850 is great vga full mod.

[rogard]

got 2*righteous 3d voodoo2 with sli cables?

the 12mb version :)

[metro.cl]

Besta card ever price/performance was the X800GTO2 from Sapphire flashed it to a X850XT with no problems and loved it i had to give it back thought it was a 3D01 monster

I would love to see the last of agp, on cpus never mastered, in the software world or hardware.
To some people, even my humble hot setup with a 2.8e and a vid card that just caught up to part of its potential last year is a bit of scowling pain. I am quite patient mind you .
Would really like to see o/c pros tinkering with a setup like that, socket 478, oh so antique with the pin grid array, agp, DDR and numbers not as phony as a core2 duo. :)

This is where I keep my old presscott, but it actually is dynamical with my msi board. AGP benefits none, but the bus is oc..to go back to regualr speed (8x) the overdive option returns for card. Why why why.... anyway...
This machine has a secret.... it has bothered me for quite some time now, it started with the 90nm prescotts...2mb cache would blow the freakin doors of a core 2 duo, even with above humble numbers on small overclock...anyone else know what I am saying...?

The problem with this is that the Core 2 architecture stomps the older architectures and you'd be hardpressed to get many top benchers to purchase and bench old gear. Hard to find guys benching 65nm Core 2 for that matter :shrug:

i vote old old school limit it to agp i want to use my 7500 64mb DDR :D:

that HS is more square on it now that was when i was testing if it fit there wasn't even HS compound on it ;)

and if anyone was wondering thats a s370HS and a 60mm fan off some POS sA cooler

[superbowtie]

I'd be in on that, 3.2Ghz p4 that does 3.8Ghz at stock voltage, msi 865 neo-2 mobo, corsair xms ddr400 1Gb, 6800GT that runs at ultra clocks just fine.... bring it on. I think it scored 12k ish in 03... :D I remember when the 939 chips came out, I was like so what. :rofl:

Its my moms pc now.:ROTF:

[Nikolasz]

Abaut low watage comp :)
My secondary pc specs :D..
Im using 24/7 celeron 366 for vent server and battlezone 2 lobby programs as for adw sites, xfire and it olny got 190 meg of pc66 ram :)
Takes abaut 25 30w (with software cpu cooling :) )

My dad uses x800X somthing with 939 dualcore a64 with ddr-400 dual 3 gig ram abaut 1tb hdds, maybe someday i will post scores here, he got ati drivers problems and windows wount let him install any ati display drivers for x800
Interesting........
