Cool, now all we need is for it to be tested on LN2!

If Nvidia pulls out all the stops here, I believe they will crush ATI. Nvidia has so much room for improvement with their cards that I think they are just taunting ATI right now. I'm going to wait to see what Nvidia's next move is before I decide which way I'm going. I must admit that the SM3.0 support is definately a much needed implementation on ATI's cards. However, Nvidia has been supporting that for 2 generations now, so they know how the SM3.0 works at this point. I think there will be much optimization with their drivers coming up real shortly.

ATI = :fact: <= PAPERLAUNCH!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!? :nono: :slapass:

As i can see ATI's SM3.0 is better and its their first generation that has it.
And dont you think ATI can improve their drivers alot considers this is the first ones =)

This looks great and all, but how about some game tests, like HL2, CS:S, Doom 3(just to see where it sits vs. Nvidia). ATI has always done better in 3DMark.

do you know what they had the core/mem running at for this score? Also is that the max they can hit on air, ora re they still pushing higher?

Im not sure if this was posted already but I cant see it in this thread.

3DMark05 score = 12164
Driver settings = performance mode in CCC
CPU speed = 3.59GHz (1.74V)
System Memory = 239 MHz 2-2-2-5 (3.42VMushkin Redline)
Hyperstransport Speed = 239 x 5 -> 1.2GHz
Engine clock = 864 MHz (programmed the core voltage regulator with a value of "a". I tried increasing the voltage more by going to "9" and the board immediately dies…is it supposed to do that????)
Memory clock = 990 MHz (programmed regulator for MVDDC and MVDDQ to "bf")

Is that stock cooling on the GTX? Sans vmods? Don't think so ;)

The 10K with X1800 it's broken with a 3700+...I think with an FX-57 the score can be better!?

And also remember, these are on launch drivers, the gtx has gone through several driver optimizations.

Furthermore, you're using an FX-55 at 2.9 ghz vs a sandy at 2.8, so yes it equals out, but that it equals out at launch with overclocking on air is impressive.

Now that is very nice :cool:

It uses a lot of power. How does a 7800 GTX compare to this ATI card ???
:confused:

630/1410 is a nice OC and nice score

stock is 500/1200 (depending on manufacture) so 21% core and 15% mem.

if a X1800 could get to 751 / 1725 mem i wonder what those scores would climb too :slobber:

also equalize the CPU clock by upping the 2.79 160mhz to 2.95mhz like the FX cpu.

either way kick ass scores congrates :clap:

Sometimes ATI can made good homework :D
But that incredible huge size... :eek:

Nice scores! I can't wait to see some ln2/cascade action!

nobody mentions that new beautiful asus motherboard with the fanless copper heatsink?that's a good one...:D:D anyway i don't think games will be as fast compared 2 7800gtx.. we'll see

nice card but i thought it would score better seems i have to wait for some xtreme cooling

Has anyone even seen these for sale? Has anyone seen any x1800 card for sale. Nice vaporware but no one is going to be able to buy one and at that power consuption rate I don't think I would trust anything less than a zippy 700 watter to run it.

I've been checking sites all day and no mention of any X1800's for sale.
