try RMAing your card back...Quote:

see if they will take it and test it to see if it is a soft ground issue or not. If it were this might indicate a manufacturing defect they could notifiy the die producer of since it was supposedly fixed.
seeing how production of these cores has stopped, i hardly think it matters. they stopped production so early for a reason, after all.
well lets hope r580 doesnt have this...Quote:

i thougt the issue that caused dying vpus was already fixed in the current r520 chips? it was a 3rd party component that caused this issue, thats at least what beyond3d reported.
Maybe in that instance...then again, i find not everything out there is truth. Everyone likes to pass the buck; not saying that's what happened, merely that it can.
yeah, claming "some third party company" could as well be an excuse from amd not finding the issue they caused themselves...Quote:

define honest... if they send you back a new one that means they consider the board screwy, from there on it's not our problem...Quote:

gnome, yhpm
if they send you a new card its most likely because they dont have the time to check or dont have the knowledge to find out that you manipulated their product and maliciously damaged/destroyed it.
you are free to do whatever you desire, breaking the law included, but we wont allow discussions about this on the forum.
well technically:Quote:

anyway back to topic cause this is a bit off, i've already had my warning...
Okay, I did some '01 benchmarking with a X1600XT...its not in crossfire but I didn't want to start a new thread.
First one is at stock clocks of 580c/684m.
#2 is with a mild OC to 641c/837m.
I know there has been a lot of talk about the RV530 having 12 pixel shaders but only 4 'complete' pixel pipelines.....but over 29K...not bad really. I was kinda thinking this card would suck at '01 with the DX7 and all. With a volt mod and a OC to 700+Mhz, a single X1600XT should be well over 30K.
EDIT: I suppose this is more in line with OC'd 8 pipe cards like X700pro, X800GT and 6600GT.
3100MHz is alot of power
the 1600s dont care about cpu power, that 2k1 run shows your cpu power more than your gpu power man... :D
Think this card could run into ~32K with a better CPU.
