He told me the CPU tube is about U$180. That includes insulation and everything. Anyways send him a mail he has the prices. Our prices are preferentials because we beta test his pre production models.

He priced them. As long as he doesn´t asks U$200 to us, its fine :p:

Check ORB for X300......You'll see a few of the top scores done on XP/DX9 and air colled CPUs...

EDIT: All the top scores were done at no more than 600Mhz. I realize they had faster memory...but a 250Mhz increase in gpu speed is a over 40% increase! The X550 is the RV370 gpu like the X300, no?

thats ok but all of we know that for 3dmark01 win2k is by far better and also cat 4.12 (dont know if those support this vga).

Sorry,...I'm not trying to be a jerk here....just trying to figure out why you got 15K with 850Mhz gpu. :confused:

This has 2.5ns memory right?

That looks like the non-pro...=2.8ns ram.
Personally, I think if there will be a 256-bit version of the X1600, that's where
I would invest.

Taking a cheap card to practice on is a very good idea, best to lose only a little money while learning !

In regards to the score it does seem very low, however these cards are very memory bandwidth limited and I think there is a version of the X550 with 64 bit memory interface ..if that is being here then at 850MHz it is the most bandwidth limited card of all time. I'd need to see Orb links to 2001 and 03 runs though to be able to guess.

Have you got any links or were you too busy keeping an eye on your dry ice etc ?

We benched outdoors in an overclocking competition, we forgot to save the results for uploading them in the ORB. Anyways this we didn´t like the scores, we would prefer to try a VGA with better memory and attempt a trifecta.

Greets!

i got the links to the orb but i just sold my cpu yesterday (buying an opteron 148) and the links are on my hdd i'm looking for a solution

I can imagine you were more concerned with the benching :)

I'm sure you'll be able to put up good scores and links in good time.

Good look with getting the trifecta :toast:

HI

I have a sapphire x550 pci-e 4ns samsung and venice 3000+ . all stock air now, but waiting for phase-change run (one for CP), second for GPU ;).

So ...card do 508/684 mhz all stock in Marks.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4601284

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8888908

3dm01 = 16496 .

These tests have been on 490/666 mhz ..and 2655 mhz CPU .

But I have problems - i want to try to beat the WR in X550 but my cards is identyfy as a X600 :slapass: :mad: :mad: :mad:

In 3dmark's in Windows it's X550/X600 ...on ORB X600 :mad:

In what way I can change that ??

PS. I can make a dry-ice/ln2 tubes in Europe cheap ;) .

Regards

thats the link to the orb

our card had 5ns mems and also it seems that clocks didnt apply correctly to the vga

also there was no optimization at all on the runs, only realtime
