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

Ok, for an review it's maybe the best. My point was, that u use it like 3DMark, comparing ur results with other people, then a timedemo is better. ;)

seriously, how good do you have it when you actually have to choose between benching the fastest GFX card ever made, and testing out an unreleased next-gen console.

Props to you, sampsa. you must be doin something right. ;)

CPU limited graphics solutions (best examples are SLI and Crossfire) get even more limited then usual due to Fraps taking some cpu power. I think I prefer timedemo's for this reason. If you have enough time it's best to do both ofcourse ;)

But anyway nice clocking mate, I think the core has much more left in it than 1ghz. Memory clock is most impressive, I hope to see something close benchable in the near future :)

Though it may not be the purpose, the prospects of Sampsa less than a meter away from ATI's Xenos are intriguing :D

What can I say, these cards are awesome :woot:

And we all are waiting for 3DMark05 action soon! :fact:

And 1Ghz/1Ghz its :slobber: Can you test what 1800XL cards can do on LN2! Looks like need to get one :p:

Might be a little of topic but why starting a new thread :

I also want to purchase a x1800 and want to know if ATI is now able
to support poper custom resolutions??

Abt. a year ago my decission went to nvidia cause ati just did plain suck on that option. For example i need 1024x640 and can simple adjust it with nvidia drivers - Can ATI do that with X1800 cards?

That actually would be a good topic to start a new thread on in the General Hardware section :up:

....I'd kinda like to know the same myself frankly.

Great stuff sampsa. These card's scalability is looking very impressive. Really looking forward to seeing how far you can take it.

Are we gonna get to see how far it can be taken by the infamous kinpin ? ;)

I use time demos too, and it´s not capped, I can get 127fps with a couple of GTX :)

I like time demos, but i prefer Real Game Experience just like when use FRAPS, some of the time demos dont give a real performance in the game.

a little offtopic, but www.dna-drivers.com offer extra working resolutions. Though thats not FM approved, and DNA is always very late with newer drivers (programmer is still a student)

With two of these puppies, 50K in '01 should be like a walk in the park

Sampsa its thursday already and I see no benchmarks :stick:

Heh I know you are busy, but we can't wait!

Congrats :toast:

OffTopic: How do you afford that Car!?!? :slobber:

The car isn't THAT expensive... I mean the car is pretty nice (altough it isn't my taste and doesn't drive good enough for that kind of car and a 1.8L 16v engine) but it's not like he's driving a Ferrari Enzo or something...

That would be jawbreaking and I would ask the same question... but a BMW Z3 is a pretty common car here in Belgium!

ONTOPIC: congrats with the 1Ghz/1Ghz... hope to see the benches real soon!

Hi, I was busy today playing with Xbox 360 and just got back home. I'll start testing in few hours.

Puijken, yes it's just a regular car and I haven't even claimed anything else. although it's not 1.8 ;)

Hehe, sorry for the offtopic but what engine does yours have then? Here in Belgium I think 75% of the BMW Z3's are 1.8L engines... and they just don't drive as good as a 1.8L should! And no offence to your car... they're nice and decent rides... just not my style... :D

Btw, whats Xbox360 like!? :eek: :slobber:

Back ontopic: Have fun with the card... like I said before.. can't wait...

/me hopes Sampsa has time to play some 3D01SE also :toast:

congratulations :toast:

good luck for benching ;) I hope for at least 12500 3dmark :D

great oc sampsa

offtopic:i will get my x1800xt 512mb next week so sampsa watch oput :P ;)

Hehe I just popped heat spreader off from my FX-57 and it didn't contact at all from the center of the core!! Lets see if it does better than 3,6 GHz with DI.

Oh noes there goes your warrenty! :fact: J/K.
Its a must nowadays to take that thing off, of course thats for those of us who dont have LN2. It will be interesting to see if it makes a difference for you, or if just a little contact is good enough with ln2.

Someone lend him a 4.0GHz FX-57 and 340MHz 2.5-3-3-x TCCD please!
