The RV515LE test exposes

A good comparison would be a 4 pipe card with similar clocks and 128bit memory bus

it is possible.

-Lower timings on the RAM
-I recall hearing that ATI ENTIRELY redesigned their memory controller, that would help a bundle also I reckon
-Pipelines, we don't know the details about the pipes but if these pipes are 1.33 times a normal pipe, if you take into account some other new features this could add up to the score/performance you see there
-Architecture, a new architecture could be the reason for the respins and the low yields in the beginning that will hopefully be worked out because new architectures ALWAYS have a lot of problems with introduction and getting the bugs out of them
-PCB design. I haven't looked at it good yet but a good PCB can do a lot to, (remember brainpower PCB's versus "Normal" RAM PCB's? helped performance also
comebine that and you get a nice fuzzy feeling if it appears to be true.

if this is a forebod of the R520 I welcome it with open arms. Was about time we saw something "real" about ATI's new cards.

Tough to swallow - although it would be a welcome suprise. I guess a combination of more efficient memory, more efficient pipes, and whatever else ATI have cooked up COULD make it that fast.
Looking forward to seeing further results though.

btw link to that forum doesn't work.

He is probably under NDA

The link works for me :)

i just came back from the country, the guy is chinese and he must be under dna, its a weird card (ddr2) but i like the way it scores, i thought maybe the guys from ati that are here would have something to say.


tehre aer some updates on the chinese site i'll ad the screenshot to the first page of this threat

Found this in the ATI Xpress 200 fourm.

I think it will be a good player, considering the reference sample has all the features I like from DFI LP nF4. I want to see what happens when RD480 meets DFI :D

I'm not reviewing it right now, one of our freelance reviewers is playing with it, anyways we won't be showing any extreme overclocking, our site visitors are quite mainstream. If I have some time before droping back the sample, I'll see if I can show some watercooled results (my chiller is broken).

O.T.: Did you see HKEPC results on RV515LE? Our results seemed not hoax at all :cool:

Looks like this reviewer has a RV515LE too.

we are from the same site, we are currently testing a reference crossfire mobo with 2x850xt.

we dont have and never had the x1300le i found that info on a chinese forum
