1ghz core nice :D

Did you try lower than -80C base?

You probably don't need one. Do some scaling experiments and see what the difference is. With dual cards it's all CPU bound. With one card, even a really fast one it's a little different. ;)

By the way, congrats on the 2x1GHz...but you have a lot more in that thing. Don't stop here.

Also, no cold bug reports at all so far?

I kinda wondered how Sampsa just casually mentioned that the core had no trouble whatsoever hitting 1Ghz. Led me to believe that 1Ghz/1Ghz was just a quick pit stop for us to celebrate a bit, and that the max. core #'s are still around the corner(hopefully tonight?). :)

Congrats Sampsa. I can't wait to get rid of my 7800GTX for one of those badboys.

Go for it ! ;)

I am trying a new pair of RAM that arrived this week, and because I had the X1800XL installed, I thought it would be nice to review them using it (and also because I´m lazy :p: ).

Anyways, I haven´t made a scaling experiment, but trying this modules I found this:

DFI nF4 SLI-DR
3200+ Venice (worst stepping on earth, I´m lucky it´s not mine)
Water
2x512 TCCD Modules (can´t tell you the brand and model yet)
X1800XL BBA
Antec TrueSomething 580w (12v1@19A, 12v2@19A)

As you can see there´s no change in the FPS as I overclock the processor (I used 275 at lousy timings, cause it´s this products SPD).

Try a different game....I think D3 has a frame limiter of sorts....those are weird results though :confused:

Ok, FarCry 16xAA 4xAF 1280x1024

2000mhz 10x200 2.5-3-3-6
67.44 fps

2655mhz 9x295 2.5-3-3-6
72.16 fps

Not too cpu dependent really.

Very interesting....the games do have a CPU dependency akin to 3D05's with this card it seems.

That was a huge boost in memory bandwidth as well as core clock speed. Granted this was at high eye candy mode, but still speaks well for X1800 architecture.

Possibly some improved prefetch logic at work here? Maybe tied in with the ring bus mem controller?

I was talking specifically about 3DMark05. I haven't tried any of the games.

When I finish the three reviews I have to make :stick: and sleep a little I´ll make some experiments with CPU dependancy on 3D05.

Back on topic, let´s wait till thursday and see some impressive 3D scores :woot: . Let´s hope this time the competition will be closer, what about Macci? Haven´t seen a number from him at least in 5 months.

Wow. keep going! (subscribed :) )

JuanFlaiter, Doom 3 has a cap @ 60 fps, so if you want to bench it, use com_fixedtic -1 command in console.

Grayskull, Yes the CPU doesn't matter that much with single card but I'm looking for the dual card benchmarks. 3DMark05 WR (17433) is still pwned by Shamino and his 7800 GTX SLI setup :)

If i bench Doom3, i get results > 60Fps without any cmd. :)

Any benches yet sampsa? :toast:

awesome o/c :up:

1ghz/1ghz :shock:

congrats sampsa

OMG 1GHz/1GHz :slobber: thats just sick...
Still I hope you can go higher, and realy beat up those G70cards :cool:

Yes with timedemos which have "nothing" to do with the real-life performance.. in the game you are limited to 60 fps and when benchmarking with Fraps.

But who is benching with Fraps? Normally u use the timedemos, or not? ;)

Like 3DMark? :D

Anyway, BTT, hope to see some Benches soon. :)

Nice scores !!!! :toast:

I realy whant to see some 3dmarks with 2 of those in crossfire :D

Hmm, we do all our benchmarks with Fraps in real-life-conditions and games to show min, avg and max framerates to our readers. Here is a link to my Radeon X1800 XT review and benchmarks. Text is in Finnish but you'll propably understand the images :)

http://www.soneraplaza.fi/tietokonee...310025,00.html

In my opinion this gives much better understanding of the real-world gaming performance than timedemos.

Don't go unless you can also OC it with some LN2 ;)
