Yes I have a new FX-57 which is 0528 GPMW. Haven't tried it yet though.Quote:

Eh, If it's 550, anything past 600 would just be insane. Considering the XFX bios says 580, I'm sure 600 will be achievable.
With this card I could achieve a power greater then any Jedi
with the money these cards cost i could eradicate world poverty
Silly isn't it? Consider ourselves very lucky...some people make only a dollar a day.......good to think about that sometimes...Quote:

You want the best, you pay the premium.
Tim has a point, for the price of an FX or EE chip, you can LITERALLY buy a PAIR of 7800GTX 256mb cards... You'd only be $200 shy of 2 of these 512mb cards!
The bad thing though, this round ATi and NVidia are both "treading the water", Q1 will see cards msrp'ed at $700, watch... By next winter someone will cross the $1,000 line. From there, the sky's the limit...Capitalism at it's worst.
Either way, tim's right... There's sooo much more to a videocard.
You figure a good 512 stick of ram runs about 50-75 for DDR400-600. Here we're talking GDDR3 at DDR1800 speeds. Think what that would go for, right now, if you could buy that on a stick. Half, if not more, than what you're being charged for this card.
Next, you figure a CPU has 114, while GPU's have crossed the 300 million transistors. That's a BIG chunk of change when it comes to price difference.
Then you still have the pcb and components(which isn't nearly as expensive, but still)
Add all this up and it's DEFINITELY more expensive to make than a CPU, especially considering unlike AMD and Intel these guys don't have their own fabs... $649 isn't so bad when you think about it that way, but it's still bad compared to what we're use to paying.
Although I'm not too long in this game....I can remember that the Voodoo cards were sold for ludicrous prices too....
I think we are just been spoiled....lol you pay half of the videocard for good system memory alone...which works at let's say 600Mhz.....this is GDDR3 at 1800Mhz!! and on top of that you get a core that is far more complex then a CPU, and you get the PCB!
And the support that comes along with drivers....now it is pretty much money for a card....but it's logical, because these are the most advanced pieces of silicon we have ever seen....no fabs of their own too...
It all adds up...do a bit of price raising and your easily over $550....
one of my m8s got the ES card already...
550/1700
he just tried alittle oc, do 590 without problem, tho with a bit artifact..................
ES?!!!! what does that stand for....!? Edit: Lol, never mind, Engineering sample, sorry I'm tired.......Quote:

ummmm. ask him to run 3dmark05 on it and post results with cpu spec please :DQuote:

Further proof that the stock clocks are up in the 500range.....
580 XFX is looking like a real possibility.....awesome!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :cool:
great work like always sampsa :toast:
that will be very interesting, i jest can't wait any more...
What I really want to know is the voltage of these cards. If the answer is 1.40-1.45v then we are in for a treat. If nVidia just raised the voltage to 1.6-1.65 to allow for a higher clock...well, nothing a card right now can't do.
So, if a 480 card scales to 590 with 1.65V (~1.42v stock) image where a 580 card at 1.45v will go with some good watercooling...we are looking at 680 or so with 1.65-1.7v if you can keep it cool!
I thought the XFX bios showed 1.46.... :D :DQuote:

Yeah, it's 1.45 or 1.46 AFAIK.
the Ultra's 110nm process is a revision of the orginal 110nm process the GTX used, it's not quiet the same silicon, so the range should still be under 1.5VQuote:

No it's a PS3 ;) :DQuote:

(with nvidias latest WHQL driver the score would pass 10k; http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1420136)
Anyone have a X1800XT test with a 3GHz FX? I think a X1800XT would hit around 9500 with a 3000MHz FX.
Not that relevant here, but anyways :)
