Not bad. They managed to get ~20 more cards. But only a fool would buy an XT when we know about the 512 MB GTX. ;)Quote:

Korda, it appears the xtreme benchers here buy the cards, see what they can do clocked to the max, bench them, and sell them on ebay for the $100 loss. It's a very expensive hobby, but all hobby's cost money.
Those of us who plan on gaming would be a fool not to atleast see what the 512mb gtx is capable of, but benchers reasons(although not making much sense to us) are justified.
Anyway, once again, back to the topic guys!
Sorry Id rather have ATIs AA and AF then Nvidias shimmering! But to each his own. I dont want 512 Megs of shimmering. :slap:
Give me a break. I bet have more ATI tattoos than you buddy. :DQuote:

I'd buy one today if i could.
I bought one. ATI :cord: me.
So you'd be a fool :)Quote:

Now that I have the x1800 I can see why I always preffered ATI IQ over nvidia's.
No one has any comments on my naked core?
Is it similar to the preview ones?
Well I notice that your core 0540aay was made after my XL core 0536aay. The other XT core I have seen was about the same as yours but 0537aay.Quote:

a little bit of LN2 and this could be you

Why do they think there crazy and not xtreme. :DQuote:
Crazy Finnish overclockers Sampsa Kurri and Ville Suvanto managed to achieve a core clock speed of 1003MHz and a memory speed of 1881MHz effective
Hope too see some xtreme stuff from Sampsa
and Macci with CF X1800xt set ups sometime soon. :)
haha me too!Quote:

Well, a little bit of LN2 and a LOT of leet OC skillz you mean.Quote:

I hold no illusions of holding a candle to them anytime soon if ever.
Course I know you know this :)
Does the tool from driver heaven work with the x1800 XT, like itQuote:

What highest OC you have reached with card to this point ???
He said it didn't but didn't elaborate on why. I'd be interested in knowing what it did if anything.Quote:

For those wondering why X1800XT are so rare, remember that these sites are selling them AHEAD of schedule. ;)
ATI has instituted NON "angle dependant anistropic filtering" in their drivers for the X1800X series of cards.
Basically, it would apply the highest quality filtering at a full 360 degrees. Due to the higher bandwidth and raw power of these cards, its a viable option for ATI.
Nvidia for the NV40 and up series has ANGLE DEPENDANT filtering which means at certain angles (say 45 degrees), you would get a LOWER quality filtering thus the full screen may not look as crisp at some areas.
I heard you can turn it off though with Rivatuner but the performance hit is very high. I have yet to see side by side comparison of the same high quality filtering between a X1800X or 7800 series so cannot qualify this statement. Just going by rumors and comments on other boards , but from all the SS I've seen, my GF4 seems to have better AF than the new Nvidia offerings. Performance wise, the GF4 cannot compare but I want both IQ quality and speed, and not a comprimise.
ATI at the moment wins in IQ and if they can get their OpenGL performance up, then I'm making the switch to ATI!

It also is very handy for making the fan run full speed. Normally the fan stays very very quiet at all times.
One other weirdness, if I run the OC tool while I have CCC on screen the temp it shows drops from 4x to 20C and doesn't budge the whole time I'm running OC tool and as soon as I close OC tool it shows temps jump up to normal.
I know it's just a display weirdness but I wanted to "elaborate" :D
I dont like when you put quotes at bottom. :slapass:Quote:
