Judging by the scores it looks like the DFI used a FX 60 with ddr 400. I will try to duplicate it the best i can.
here is what they used.
We used AMD Athlon x2 4400+, OCZ Platinum rev. 2, two X1900XT in CrossFire configuration and a Western Digital Raptor WD360
I quess PC-A9RD580 is the Manta board according to Sapphires site. (PC=Pure Crossfire)
Yah but thats not the one that kaiser posted......His is of cinebench and its Sapphire boards against DFI.Quote:

It must be a fluke. I am sure you can match or beat the other boards. All the other scores are relatively close but that one.
Ok i got some OCZ plats ddr 400 and ill run a x2 cpu at 2.2 gig and see what it gets.
chew* ........ The RD580 seems to have huge gains over the RD480 when it comes to low end cards but not much improvement for the x1900's. Any chance you might have a couple to try out when you get the time? I am curious to see what kind of results you get in say 05' and 06'.
Well I have been talking to DUMO and it seems he's willing to lend me a master card to pair with my 1900xt for testing reviewing. There will however be no overclocking as It's not my card.
Also working on finding another x1800xt 512mb card capable of matching the clocks on my current card at 823/981 on good water. I'm curious to see X fire performance without the dongle.
Are you referring to single card solutions though?
No, I was waiting for Crossfire.
Any particular brand of X1800 you are looking for?
I know of a couple that are available.
I too would like to see with and with out dongle comparisons with the x1800's
Retail ATI or bust.
Any news on the LDT performance front?
Any thoughts yet why the board performed so badly on the cinebench test?
Will this board be priced more or less around the previous boards price?
yah the reviewers sucked? I got 752 with 9 x 300 with ram less than ddr 400 just now to test for you with something running in the background. I can't upload to my FTP atm because its down. I will try to match it at 2.2 gig and rebench........I'm sure that it will be on par though.Quote:

Pricing i'm not sure of. I've heard rumors from forum members that it will debut less than the rx 480 innovation but as i stated its rumors nothing i can confirm.
Not done with testing yet and i will put up cinebench scores i'm just testing multitudes or ram which takes alot of time in memtest than even longer in prime and once thats done still needs to be PI 32M stable and once thats done it still all needs to be realworld stable............
chew* nice find on the board and keep up the good work on this "new" board
Ok so i reran the bench at 315 x 7 x4 LDT.This gives me 2205mhz cpu 200 memory. Its as close as i can get with an x2 3800. Let's just say the question is not what happened to the sapphire reference board but more whats wrong with the DFI that they felt the need to TAMPER with the benchtest. I say tamper because i have the results in front of me But for some reason my FTP is still down. I will upload them soon as possible unless someone would do me the favor and host the screenshots i have.Quote:

Ok heres some OCZ 2 gig Plats ddr 400. Now i know they arent the greatest 2 gig kit there is but they do have a little headroom for overclocking. More importantly lets see how the board handles when highly overclocked with a 2 gig set.
For reference the key settings are 50% reduced dqs, normal drive, P/N drive strengths 6/6

Guys i should have some x1800xt's in mastercardless crossfire soon thanks to markr. Already had one but markr found me a second Retail ATI card that was affordable. Thanks again markr I owe you one.
I really want this new 580 board :( Chew can you test it past 333 htt please, max htt would be nice.
It's the least I could do in return for all the valuable help you have given us.Quote:

thx guys, my dfi ADO is nice, but only up to 333, anything more and the board starts flaking out (at anything past 3 gigs that is). Board just can't take it even though it's fully sinked and 120mm fanned. PWM area still just gets too hot for any stability past 3 gigs.
I already banged it up to 370 by 4xht fareast. Atm I'm running 9 x 323 x4x HT. Its stable as can be. I also banged out a 32M PI run at 3.2 gig. If you look through the pages.
Albeit the results were slow this OS is wiped due to some bad tccd and the fact that it's not a fresh install but a drive i swapped from the RX480 testing so pay no attention to times. I just atm don't have the time to do a fresh install. I will probably do that before i setup X fire.
For now though my regedit hacks will have to keep this OS up and running.
Not trying to rain on your impressively sick voltage screenie but this doesn't pertain to this thread. Please do not clutter it up with useless info.Quote:

Sounds like a plan. Just need to give me some maximum setting allowed rules. Etc if someone says don't put more than 1.6 volts thats all i put, also what kind of cooling allowed. My personal chips get the :slapass: though.
