Almost worth saving for x850xt if the xl's are not gonna overclock at all. Ive been planning on getting one of them for a while. Damn.

Well, I hope somebody will voltmod an X800XL soon with good cooling and then we will know what's going there.
Why not? The prescott, and the winchester both do faily well, and OC better than their 130 counterparts. Especially with xtreme cooling, minus the bug with the winnies. I reckon that the R520 with a peltier will be the 3d01 choice when it comes out, 700 at least on the core, and mem, well, it's a toss up
The early reviews showed very LITTLE headroom for the GPU, but BIG OC numbers for the memory...580, I believe. We'll see, I guess.... we have to put the cold on 'em and up the Volts then we;ll know more :D

Well it looks like these cards have shipped from a few places now, i know ocuk has shipped some, anybody have any news on how there doing yet? 8 days until i have to make my decision, should have more news by then i guess.

For sure this is the case, lets all try and be optimistic about these cards folks :).Quote:
maybe the XLs are just in a desperate need of some voltmodding?
Slap a peltier onto one of these, and give her some juice, and we'll be seeing a great overclock on the core, easily (I hope).
20 degrees sub-ambient and a good overvolt makes all the difference. I'll bet that the stock XL cooler is crummy as well - there's a reason the X850 XT has that huge honking blower strapped onto it ;) ;).
just ordered one here in a shop at spain, club3d to concrete. I hope to have it in a few days, with the new neo4 (just available here at spain...) and if someone discovers how to hardmod it, ill try.
Seeya :)
I hear it's mainly because the 110nm core is a new process and isnt fully developed yet. That's why you can't get a very good overclock on them, otherwise they would use this process on the x850 cards.
But apart from not being so overclockable, i think theyre great value. Not as expensive as a 6800 GT and theres not that much diference.
here in spain, a 6800 GT pcie is 457€(like 550usd or so) and the x800xt is 371€ ( 470 or so...).
Thanks and see ya
I should be ordering one as soon as i know the DFI board has shipped and ill put it strait on the watercooling and post some results. Vid hope u get some results soon.
Dave
thanks :rolleyes: ill try to get it as high as i can... If i have the same luck as my previous 9600 Pro...
tomorrow i think ill have my neo4 and hope having the x800xl.
See ya pal. :rolleyes:
Got it a pair of days ago.
WEll, lets see, its assembly by Club3d. Club3d x800xl 256 Mb gddr3 Dual DVI VIVO pcie. Got it here at spain for 371€, thats 473 usd. WEll, first of all, the heatsink, i must say it is beautiful, but hell its small and slim. To be real its the same the 9800 XT had.

here you can see the power connector u have to plug.

WEll, u cant see them so, memos are Samsung 434 Gc16, thats 1,6 ns. Not bad.
Just passed atitool, and got the best result at 450/1100 Mhz, not bad for the GPu, but whats even more is that i cant get the fan to go full speed. I mean, when i boot pc the fan goes fast, and when loading windows, goes slower, rivatuner says it goes 43% of the speed. And is at 37º idle with a 30º temp outside.
Im waiting to get a Ati Silender 5 and some Zalman heatsinks for the memory.
Well, hope it helps.
See ya
how fast can you get it manually, to pass (3dmark2k1)nature without artifacts?
thatd pretty expensive for something that was suposted to be $300... :(
Pikard u have to think thath here in Europe everything is like 100 usd more expensive than there. If there was a shop, like newegg fe that sent parts to Spain, everryone would buy there.
For example now i want to byt 2x 512 Gskill pc4800 LA, here buying them in the UK its 330€, sthg like 430 usd. And if i buy them there, its like 300 usd, o 200€ or so.
Ill benchmark it better and tell u about it.
See ya
hmm, so europe hit the "cheaper" prices faster then we did in the USA... :D
and they are still at $380+ over here...
My ATI pre-order is like 5 weeks old.... wonder when they'll ship?
C
just got off the phone with ATI online shop and they say x800xl will ship a end of February..... so about 3 weeks.
C
how com ati will ship them end of february ?
i saw them available here in my country...slovenija...
we have sapphire here in Israel, in-stock! :D
Got my PowerColor X800XL today from overclockers.uk. Comes with 1.6ns DDR3 chips as well as power connector and VIVO. Most other brand XLs comes with 2.0ns chips (ATI, Saphire...) The stock heatsink seems to be one of the better quality ones out there but it will be replaced soon by Maze4 with Peltier and Zalman RAM sinks.

Are you gonna do any mods on it??
Any known guide?
Congrats for the card
See ya! :toast:
As far as I know there are no known guide out yet. I will just settle for peltier+water cooling and air flow over the ram sinks for now. I am waiting for my water cooling parts to arrive as well as a 110W 15v peltier since I have a aux 15V PSU. I would go for higher wattage but can't seem to find any 40x40mm peltiers around with higher ratings. There is a 226W but it's rated 24V so it would turn out to be around the same wattage. Should prove to be decent overclock. If volt mod is possible I will definately try that.
The layout of the PCB is somewhat different but the ISL6522CBs on the back of the board still seems to be in the same location. I will probably try pencil modding.
I have a club3D x800XL like viddax^2 ;) and i wanna put a new heatsink ATI silenter 5 too ;), but the problem is on gpu more than memory speed.
got my x800xl on friday, but only got it all set up on monday thanks to amtrak, all running stock at mo as gaming distracted me from overclocking but ill post results from standard watercooling soon.

But i find one problem in ur config, yes peltier may run well, but youll need the Volmod for sure, dont think it will go up 450 Mhz... With me memory i think no problem...
See ya and if u would make a voltmod guide, we would be very grateful ;)
