youve been linked to the mod already... :D
chec the 1300 gpu mod thread in this section. you can even pencil mod it so no need to solder...
Checking on that now.Quote:

cf will work without a mastercard in the 955x chipset as well... there are no 1600 and 1300 master cards...

This is strange. Newegg has a X1600XT duel slot cooler. It looks like the same PCB as the R520 Xfire. Its cost $165.

heres a goodie from HIS, unfortunately for the price you could buy a Saphire and a zalman to go with it :nono:

Very nice find Welz...it seems Newegg search is still screwed up...searching for x1600xt or x1600 does not bring up that card (have to go video card->GPU->X1600XT)
Though i dont know if its at all necessary to have that at such a high price...considering a Powercolor X1600XT + VF700 like $5 more...

Come on now that is just price gouging, 196 man thats too much
the powercolor also went up :(Quote:

Has anyone tried the mod for the x1600xt
I ve tried with 615-801 and my 3dmark 05 results is 5553.I cant seem to raise the core over 620 cos i see occasionaly litle black areas on 3dmark?I am on stock cooling(ive added ac5 on the core) and also a 12cm fan to blow the card opposite from the stock one!
you need to raise the voltage on the cards, right its just better to stay away from them.
@athles:What is your overclocking status?
Why doesn't anyone invest in the X1600XT 128MB 1.4ns GDDR3 ??
It's at Newegg for $111.
Same performance in 3dmark (all) and games (all) as the 256MB X1600XT.

I tried the x1600XT 256MBs in CF. They were OK, but those cores OC like crapola and a sinlge card was barely better than my old x700 Pro OCed. I was going to try x1700s, which I assumed would be released with x1400s around the same time as x1900s but the last ATI roadmap I saw didn't have 1700s at all?
X1700 = RV535 on 80NM, Coming March (along with the 7600 release in March)
The X1600 Crossfire gave limited results due to lack of crossfire edition cards from ATI. The compositing was happening in crossfire, but not at the same efficiency as X18 or X19 crossfire configurations. (hence miniscule difference in 03 scores from single to cf)
Hopefully there will be a X1700 CF Card...otherwise leave it to ATI to leave the mainstream user hanging :rolleyes:
Perkam
Thanks for the info on the 1700. I have a x1900XT holding me over, but yeah, that's exactly what happened in 03. 05 was a nice diff with them in CF. Yeah, I was thinking maybe the 8x+8x mobos would help the 1600s CF because they use nothing but the PCIe bus to talk, but I hope the 1700s have a CF card because I just won't do $500+ x2 for x1900 CF, not to mention all the power/heat issues that go along with them :)
would be pretty awesome if the 1700 was 12x3, any info on the 1700 perk? Like price? Specs? 256bit mem or 128?Quote:
