That's what I said..... which is part of the videocard isn't it? :rolleyes:Quote:

This comparison doesn't really hold up. There are a lot of Ferraris in the world. There's only one guy with this screen shot. Would you make fun of the first guy to climb Everest because he couldn't do much more than breathe at that elevation? Rest assured that guys like Sampsa will not only be the first ones to explore uncharted territory, but also be the first ones to dance a naked jig there as well. :toast:Quote:

Press Release: ATI’s Radeon® X1800 XT Breaks 1 GHz Speed Barrier
- by Zardon On Oct 26, 2005 - 7:51 AM
ORI, FINLAND/ Munich, Germany – October 26, 2005 – An independent team of Finnish over-clockers has made world history by over-clocking a graphics processor to engine clock levels above 1 GHz. The record was set on the recently-announced Radeon® X1800 XT graphics processor from ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX: ATY, NASDAQ: ATYT).
Noted Finnish over-clockers Sampsa Kurri and Ville Suvanto achieved graphics engine clocks of 1.003 GHz and a memory speed of 1.881 GHz (940.50 MHz DDR (dual data-rate) memory clocks) with maximum system stability and no visual artifacts.
The team, optimistic that higher speeds could ultimately be achieved with the Radeon X1800 XT, attained the record speeds using a custom-built liquid nitrogen cooling system that cooled the graphics processor to minus-80 degrees Celsius. “We’re just warming up,” joked Kurri. “But we believe that the Radeon X1800 XT has even more over-clocking headroom, and in the coming weeks we expect to achieve higher clock speeds and even greater performance levels.”
“It’s impressive to see the Radeon X1800 XT architecture achieve 1 GHz core speed and approach 2 GHz memory speed, which far exceeds the specifications of the memory devices,” said Stan Ossias, Sr. Product Manager, Desktop Products, ATI Technologies Inc. “Once faster GDDR-4 memory arrives next year, users can expect to see the hidden potential of ATI’s innovative new memory controller design complement our powerful shader engines with massive additional memory clock scalability.”

Radeon X1800 XT’s extreme clock-scaling capabilities are made possible by a series of key innovations that include use of the state-of-the-art 90-nanometer semiconductor process technology, an efficient new Ultra-threaded Shader Model 3.0 architecture, and a revolutionary new 512-bit ring-bus memory controller.

Maybe this is why ati has delayed so much..
ati ftw :bananal:
I'm afraid this topic has been posted before.

It's good there's a press release now though ;)

I recieved an email correspondance from ATI. I find it odd that an investor, such as myself, would even relate extreme overclocking ability with my investments potential. As a matter of fact, I find it rather kiddish. But here you go:

ATI's Radeon'R' X1800 XT Breaks 1 GHz Speed Barrier
PORI, FINLAND--(CCNMatthews - Oct. 26, 2005) -
Finnish over-clockers make world GPU history
An independent team of Finnish over-clockers has made world history by
over-clocking a graphics processor to engine clock levels above 1 GHz. The
record was set on the recently-announced Radeon(R) X1800 XT graphics processor
from ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:ATY)(NASDAQ:ATYT).
Noted Finnish over-clockers Sampsa Kurri and Ville Suvanto achieved graphics
engine clocks of 1.003 GHz and a memory speed of 1.881 GHz (940.50 MHz DDR
(dual data-rate) memory clocks) with maximum system stability and no visual
artifacts.
The team, optimistic that higher speeds could ultimately be achieved with the
Radeon X1800 XT, attained the record speeds using a custom-built liquid
nitrogen cooling system that cooled the graphics processor to minus-80 degrees

X1800 XT has even more over-clocking headroom, and in the coming weeks we
expect to achieve higher clock speeds and even greater performance levels."

Good Find think...except its been posted once already...

I'm always one step behind perkam :) I just recieved this information a hour ago.
Thats ok, a quick scan of the front page of the xs news section should be enough to tell whether a story has been posted before or not...most of the time.
Np. Its new news, just old topic, hence this thread. Don't want that many threads on the same topic cluttering the section.
Thx for posting the news though. :) I was wondering when the press release would come :D

It's not discouraging if Sampsa has any balls, which he does. It's challenging. Just 'cause the remark sounds negative doesn't mean its a discouragement. Haven't you ever played sports with a coach?Quote:

If it artifacts in windows, there's no way they'd complete a 3dmark run!
with the memory at 2ghz it crashed, but with the memory slower, maybe the core is fine at 1ghz
Oh guys...here is something that 3DChipset said about it....and I agree 100%
I'm totally.....I mean TOTALLY DONE WITH ATI :down: :down: :down:Quote:
I like poking fun at these unrealistic press releases. Sure if we all had liquid nitrogen sitting next too are desks we can achieve the same thing. Instead of having these stupid press releases, how about actually DELIVERING THE PRODUCT! Stuff like this is interesting, but so is actually buying the product mentioned above!
I hope they get such a smackdown from nVidia's new GTX that they will finally realise that the PR department isn't supposed to be the most active department in a company......and get back into REAL business...to the thing that is called "real life"
Geeeeeez.... :shakes: :slapass:
ATI : :nono: :nono:Quote:

EDIT: here's a compare link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4136893
Sometimes i wonder if people get paid for all this ANTI-ATI stuff thats been going on lately.
I mean some people here wont buy the X1800XT card and will stick to Nvidia, so why dont you just smile and be silent about the card is late ?
There is a release date when the card will be avaible so until then i dont understand why you ask it over and over again "Where is the card ??"
If anyone should be upset and make noise then its the people that want to buy the card, anyone else just look like a annoying person that keep bashing the company for no known reason.
Fine with everyone here, your decision.Quote:
I'm totally.....I mean TOTALLY DONE WITH ATI
Making an architecture that will in future support higher clocked cores and MUCH higher clocked memory is a fact of life for ATI developers, and so are setbacks Tim. ATI has had a setback. It has never tried to hide it. This press release was in part to congratulate Sampsa on his achievement as a testament to the potential of the card.Quote:

Number One thing to remember here is that we all need to stay on topic. This is getting way out of hand if everyone has repeated urge to give their overall opinion on ATI everytime they see them accomplish something. That's called bias, gentlemen, and I'd rather not have any here in the xs news section. Lets try to back up what we are saying with NEW information, not the same ol jazz, X company cant do this, Y company can climb a mountain blindfolded.
Lets keep on track and try to liven the discussion, not try to give it a one-way ticket to "FanBoy's Unite !!: The Musical" every chance we get.

Mods need to clean this up IMO...
Cleaning up wont help it, cuz all thread will end up the same.
The news section here is really really fast compared to many other sites and its a pleasure to post something new, and a little of a contest to find stuff faster then others.
But as soon as the news is about gfx cards then its this constant attack on ATI.
I never ever see people puke over Nvidia, and it will never start i think.
Please do something before this looks like a very stupid news forum.
Some people act like this is a clanmatch in CS.
Man these x1800 clocks are brutal. Is heat a limiting factor or do they clock real well on air too?
Hey what's up with todays Inquirer story.. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27252
Someone should get their facts right :stick:
