I love ATI though, better performing card than GTX512, easier to get a hold of, much cheaper!!! Bought my xfx 512 for like 850 from allstarshop what a ripoff :/
I was HAPPY it was 649 lol 200 cheaper than my gtx512 and BETTER..so basically gtx512 will sell on ebay for atleast 750 so i will actually have some money left for sushi

I'd sell the gtx512 for 750, buy the xt for 550 and have $200 to start saving up for the x1900xt CF master card :banana: :toast:
Do you really need to to CF with these puppies? :)Quote:

Unfortunatly i want x1900 crossfire but i "need" a rd580 because im not running a rd480 CF board. So i'll have to pick up a x1900xtx and like a 9npa+ ultra board or something similar to hold me over till rd580 comes out. i'll get my mastercard then.
And some more test results from OCWorkbenchQuote:
In terms of overclocking, the Core couldn't go very far, anything above 660 will result in hangs.
I think that is bull. Only 10mhz higher than stock XTX? I think they need some more volts.
So let me get this straight. The XTX variant is the cream of the crop, PE equivelent of the previous generations? There will be no higher than the XTX in the X1900 line of cards? No XTX PE etc?
Its hard to say. the xtx will be the elite card at first, but who's to say there won't be an x1900xtx TOP from Asus or an overclockered version by someone else in the near future. The coolers etc. are the same as the x1800 so there should be little delay in producing such cards if ATi's r580 can be binned for higher speeds, such as the 700mhz asus bins the x1800xt for in its x1800 xt TOP card.
Well I hope a bios comes out that allows current XTX cards to become TOP etc cards. The XTX cards should have no problem with a 50mhz increase stock especially since voltage options are available to the end user.
Im waiting for the NDA rd580 board from DFI it is supposed to be l337; dfi's overclockability w/ rd580 is a win-win situation. dont think i will get the CF but maybe i am still thinkng :D
i want some 14k with a single but htta is ognna be togh have to see how far i can take fx60 once vapo gets here and do some serious tweaking
damn crash, nice system, everything is top notch and high end. Good job.
I'm going to borrow someone else's quote from some forum somewhere and reply with, "Because it has 10% more love manufactured in."Quote:

I think the XTX hype is overrated atm. First release cards as always will not be binned in order to rush them out. later you will probably see a difference.......
Dang....I'm waiting for 1900xtx and the cf card, but I don't wanna run my cpu on any RDX200. The last one went kaboom and took my fx with it:(

Well hopefully we'll both get fast ramsies on our cards, eh bro?

Be carefull GHZ... Power regulators get weak after ran with high vcore and >3.4 vdimm..Quote:

Not impressed with the OC results... Seems to top out at 690Mhz MAX from stock of 650Mhz. OCworkbench was only able to do 660Mhz. Considering that they're using 90nm, and G71 (also 90nm) will be clocked at a stock of 700Mhz+, R580 is a disapointment in the clocking department.
honestly those numbers do not impess me as my SLI system still beats that card by a large margin. nothing taken away from ATI but i would wait for the G71 before i make a purchase.Quote:

After reading reviews etc. I have to say, Im alittle disappointed with the X1900.
Anyone feel thesame? This card is supposed to challenge the G71, but it looses to the 7800GTX 512mb in almost all tests(at realistic settings. I mean who uses 1920x1400 and above):(
