Some Nice shots there techstyled :)
Now lets see some overclocked numbers :D :p:
Perkam
54*C.... that is hot, but i like it :)
I'm about to start turning up the heat I think.
Anyone got any ideas that don't involve me killing my new card?
(prolly won't take the leaf blower off to peak at core till tomorrow, need sleep first)
I imagine you'd need the oc tool from driver heaven: http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=88559 .Quote:

where did you buy this card?
Allstarshop had them for $599 when they got a few of them in stock...now $699 :rolleyes:Quote:
where did you buy this card?
Also, Newegg had 20 of them in stock today, sold out within hours :shakes:

Bought it from AllStarShop and had it delivered NDA. They shipped their first batch out the same day they got them (yesterday). They are now out of stock.Quote:

Any links to the score? Nice card but how can you think about sleep when you have that to play with? :confused:
memory at 797 woow, faster than my 2.5v's 790......
w00t.. it's here
lol wake up dude.. *knocks*
We know from sxs112's run that its capable of 10k on air...just with some tweaking though ;)
Perkam
Well interesting. I can max out Overdrive (700 core / 1600 mem) without a problem. Once my waterblock comes in I will try to push it harder.
Wow, these X1800XT's are clocking like crazy. It might almost make me regret leaving ATI for a 7800GT (that is going to be laying around until DFI actually ships the SLI-DR Expert :(). But after the price difference....nah.
Won't work with X1800XT I don't think. At least it doesn't seem to.Quote:

If you dont mind could you take a picture of the GPU core. Rumor has it that ATi is using an updated version of the R520 on their XTs and I wanted to see if it was true or not.
very nice card! *ALMOST* tempted to sell gtx and sli-d for cf-dr and xt
Very nice score there. We want more, MORE!
what does the Current and Request clocks mean?
He died in sleep ?
Would love to see someone run single gtx and single 1800 same platform both non-oc'd then with an oc so it would be a real side by side compare. :)
Looking good :toast:
*serious question..so please don't flame me
Why did you decide to go with an X1800XT instead of waiting for the new nVidia card?
We have a release date now, why didn't you wait? Are you still gonna get one?
Thank you :)
I will be buying a 512MB GTX ASAP, hopefully on release date if I get lucky like I did this time and catch it before first shipment sells out.Quote:

I prefer ATI AA, they dont tear to the point that you need vsync and the ATI card doesnt shimmer. Dunno, but those are a few good reasons to buy ATI right now.
U said it. :fact:Quote:

I really don't want to take this thread off-topic...but that is simply not true...from 78 drivers onwards I had ZERO Shimmering bugs...even on the 78 drivers I just put LOD to clamp and high detail.....high detail vs normal detail only costs like 2 fps or so...no biggie..about the tearing and drop in fps when on...that's purely because certain games don't handle Vsync very well..Quote:

Ive never had tearing problems, shimmering is non existant on the 81.85 drivers, so those points are not valid.
Of course. I didn't expect to have this card so soon but I have various pieces based on Storm/MCW55 on their way to me now but prolly won't be here till first of next week.Quote:

Google on tearing and nvidia I'm not the only one.
Nvidia has even publically stated they haven't even addressed the shimmering in Quality mode. I still see it in some apps with HQ - in fact their own driver release notes stated "reducing shimmering in HQ" - it's not a fixed issue.
The reason I dont use vsync is that on LCD monitor at 60Hz you are capping your FPS to 60.
that is awsome...and the card is freaking long....btw, seem like you're limited by the tool isn't it?
Nomrally i moderate my language, but bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:. only nvidia marketing claims it's solved, nvidia tech never claimed it solved, only deminished. i can't seem to stand the shimering in quality, and HQ doesnt cost you 2fps in 1920 (my LCD's resolution...). The fact is that it's there, i also agree for the tearing, couldnt stand it either so i sold my gtx rig and got back to my LAN (shuttle) x800xt rig... i didn't loose any money in the story but i was really disapointed...Quote:

the 512mb GTX look damn nice :slobber:
Did you turn on the Negative LOD bias clamp? It's a feature inwhich has been around since 67.02(it's what fixed the shimmering for us 6800 owners with CS:S). Shimmering is a bug caused by AF, which changing the mip-maps on the fly introduces new jaggies in the textures, and it only occurs with certain designs. The reason this occurs is because of an optimization which makes the textures look better without AA, it's an LOD bias tweak(and not one that's just for higher framerates, but for better IQ).Quote:
Originally Posted by dnottis
Games inwhich you set AA thru the game, you need to turn this feature on in the control panel for your driver. Without it, you get shimmering, with it you don't. That simple.
As for tearing, that's caused by your monitor not keeping up with your videocard, it occurs regardless of brand. Google tearing and ATi and you'll see the same complaints you find for tearing and NVidia. 60hz means anything about 60fps will show tearing...
Anyway, lets put this back on topic!
You got it!Quote:

http://www.yourgame.net/x1800xt_core1.jpg
hmm, hate to be a party pooper but 700/1600 is not that impressive considering where it started. Especially on the memory side, youd think that 1.2ns ram could have alot more headroom. My XL's slower 1.4ns ram can do 1700 if I leave my case open, and 1550 with it closed. I think the worst buy will in fact be a 256MB XT.
Back on topic...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102624
Newegg has XTs back in stock!!
That's much better dnottis. Lately it seems to no thread about any videocard from either the red or green team can stay on topic...
If ya'll want to go out jacking, go to the projects. If you want to talk about tech's x1800xt then do it here.
Not bad. They managed to get ~20 more cards. But only a fool would buy an XT when we know about the 512 MB GTX. ;)Quote:

Those of us who plan on gaming would be a fool not to atleast see what the 512mb gtx is capable of, but benchers reasons(although not making much sense to us) are justified.
Anyway, once again, back to the topic guys!
Sorry Id rather have ATIs AA and AF then Nvidias shimmering! But to each his own. I dont want 512 Megs of shimmering. :slap:

Now that I have the x1800 I can see why I always preffered ATI IQ over nvidia's.
No one has any comments on my naked core?
Is it similar to the preview ones?
Well I notice that your core 0540aay was made after my XL core 0536aay. The other XT core I have seen was about the same as yours but 0537aay.Quote:

For those wondering why X1800XT are so rare, remember that these sites are selling them AHEAD of schedule. ;)
ATI has instituted NON "angle dependant anistropic filtering" in their drivers for the X1800X series of cards.
Basically, it would apply the highest quality filtering at a full 360 degrees. Due to the higher bandwidth and raw power of these cards, its a viable option for ATI.
Nvidia for the NV40 and up series has ANGLE DEPENDANT filtering which means at certain angles (say 45 degrees), you would get a LOWER quality filtering thus the full screen may not look as crisp at some areas.
I heard you can turn it off though with Rivatuner but the performance hit is very high. I have yet to see side by side comparison of the same high quality filtering between a X1800X or 7800 series so cannot qualify this statement. Just going by rumors and comments on other boards , but from all the SS I've seen, my GF4 seems to have better AF than the new Nvidia offerings. Performance wise, the GF4 cannot compare but I want both IQ quality and speed, and not a comprimise.
ATI at the moment wins in IQ and if they can get their OpenGL performance up, then I'm making the switch to ATI!

It also is very handy for making the fan run full speed. Normally the fan stays very very quiet at all times.
One other weirdness, if I run the OC tool while I have CCC on screen the temp it shows drops from 4x to 20C and doesn't budge the whole time I'm running OC tool and as soon as I close OC tool it shows temps jump up to normal.
I know it's just a display weirdness but I wanted to "elaborate" :D

<ATI big wigs hold pow wow>
<several hours later - or was it the next day?>

'Course this is just my opinion :D
I'm working on getting it setup in my RDX200 with my OCZ P/S to see if I can OC better.Quote:

It appears the RDX200 will never catch up to the NF4 SLI. Too bad. So you can xfire if you want to settle for a weak mboard, or you can have a great mboard if you settle for one X1800XT.
TEXT REMOVED - FUGGER
Guess it's 2x GTX for me, instead of 2x X1800XT.... too bad ATI, too bad.
Meantime, I like the fan section on the new heatsink, easily removed leaving a hole that you can add improved and QUIET aircooling to, while using the stock heatsink.
How is the CORE vs SHIM height on that X1800XT of yours Techy? Use a ccard edge and a flashlight, see if the core is ABOVE EQUAL or BELOW the height of the SHIM. If it is BELOW, then shim removal and lapping the copper of the heatsink, use of AS5, could yeild serious improvements in cooling on air.
As you are going WCooling, same goes for your waterblock. Every X800 X850 I've worked on has required SHIM removal to get maximum cooling, as the SHIM was above CORE height on all 5 boards I modified. I have no reason to assume ATI got any more accurate on the SHIM/CORE relationship, they simply rely on a glop of goop to make up the gap.
If youo can check that, would be much appreciated.
I accidently just bought:
ATI ORIGINAL RADEON X1800XT 512MB PCI-E DDR3 TV-OUT DVI RETAIL VIDR_ATIX_RA_XD $599.95
604 $362369.80
Subtotal: $362369.80 :eek:
Imagine one person cleaned stock right out that would be an insane invoice.
I went to Compusa this morning and they had just received 2 XT's. Of course I had to get one. At stock I got 9099 in 05 and maxed CCC at 690 and 800 i got 9693. I will try the overclock tool later tonight..
I'm sorry but I disagree with you that the RDX200 won't be as good overclocker as the SLI-DR. With the new bios everything start to work out. First of all the htt speed and tccd ram speeds e.t.c.Quote:

lots of people had issues with dfi nf4 boards, LOTs, there were constantly threads begging for help. early users have to play with settings and find what works, often people give up early and say something sucks without playing with it. also, who says dfi will have the best crossfire board? give it time, its only fair, dfi took a while to get some decent bios's for the nf4 to come out.
if the mobo used the SLi chipset to improve USB to USB2 then alot of people would stop complaining.
I have owned 3 DFI ultra mobos and nothing is easy with DFI but they seem to be the overall choice since using a mobo that will only OC to 240 FSB is even worse than changing a bios here or there.
I don't have to settle for anything. Right now, at least with my skillz, my best shot at being able to run XFire the very first day I can get a Master X1800XT is with this here RDX200. That is my goal right now, period.Quote:

Actually, this is the very last time I'm going to respond to any more "you should wait for X, you're gonna regret going with X".
The only thing I'm "settling" with right now is sticking to AMD. Intel just doesn't interest me right now. Dothan sounds cool but I don't think I'm missing anything. At least I'm having lots of fun with my 5 different AMD setups and one old crusty 2.4c Northwood.
This is my hobby (ok, it's my business too). I'm going to have whatever I want and my hobby bank account can handle, and right now it's not even strained.
So don't you go worrying about me anymore, ok. I'll make it. :D
Oh, and BTW, only 7 more posts till I can FINALLY see the freakin FS/T forum!
I still regret missing out on the Vandi CABNE's :slapass:
I will check this out. Thanks for the info. I'm probably going to wait until Tuesday to do this though. That's when my Storm and MCW55 will be here so I'll just wait till then to get it naked again. Too busy enjoying it right now. :)Quote:

I agree, DFI NF4 was a challenge, but I think the current RX200 has limitations that tweaking the bios wont overcome. As it is, with the VTT issue still remaining on the DFI NF4, we dont even know that the max OC really is, anywhere from 5-20Mhz memory FSB remains on the table, since VTT glitching prevents us from achieving the true maximum.
But no SATAII and USB problems.... this is ATI's first shot, NV had the entire NF2 learning curve nailed before doing NF4, so look to the next generation or two from ATI before they "get it nailed".
Meantime, I've seen only one person say they got over 240Mhz 2,2,2.0 out of thier BH5 or VX rams on the RX200. And you say yourself, 280Mhz out of TCCD's that should do 300-320 on NF4.
SO ATI (and DFI's implementation will clearly be the best performing) gives us a compromise to live with. CPU/memory performance subpar to the NF4 and XFire, or go buy NV stuff.
VoodooPC says XFire boards work on NF4? Any link.
We all KNOW for a FACT there is nothing about the motherboard required for XFire/SLI other than 2 x16 slots operating at x8/x8. That's it. And both NF4 and RX200 fill that bill. Neither ATI nor NV are fooling anyone, same goes for NV, if I liked the RX200 and wanted 2 7800's on it, I expect them to do whats right for thier customers, not what thier marketing dept says is a good idea.
So if it does work in ATI released drivers, its purely thier decision to screw everyone of thier customers who dont feel like buying YET ANOTHER motherboard just to run thier video cards.
Please do check the SHIM/CORE height issue. I hope they solved it, but Ill pop the shim off if need be when the time comes, as I have for the X800s and X850s.
dfi is the only board available afaik thats remotely high end, theres some eqs board that is very low end of the spectrum. dfi when with the ati southbridge and shock horror they are the only one with the chips right now. if you look at any review nf4 chipset has a decent amount of hdd issues, be it uli chipset sata2 or sil image sata 2 on ati board the sata 2/ide scores basically crap all over nf4 scores. usb is slow, big deal i couldn't give a toss and most benchers probably won't care that much. few months till fixed chipset versions ship.
Dynasty and Nunyabiz, be sure to start new threads when you get your X1800s to let everyone know how they do ;)
Quote:
the stupid fk's at ATI alter the driver SW to allow XFIRE on NF4 systems.
Firstly, that's no way to talk in these forums. Secondly, ATI has tried enabled xfire on as many platforms as they can, and they tried on Nvidia chipsets too, but NVIDIA wasn't willing to let that happen, not ATI.Quote:

@ Techstyled, as the no. of ppl wanting to show their X1800 results grows, we just might have an unofficial X1800 scores thread sometime later on ;)

It is too bad we couldn't have the HDD performance of the ATI chipset mixed with everything else on the Nvidia chipset plus ditch the Silicon image secondary SATA RAID controller for that of a promise. Now that board would kick.
On the shim, just a sharp xacto knife, and a steady hand. I get under one corner and pull UP on the shim, while cutting a bit. Just aim the cutting edge at the shim not the substrate. The glue isnt super strong, it will POP off with the right pressure. Ive popped 9500-X850XTPE 16 shims off and never had a problem, incident, or failure.
-------
Well excuse me. Frankly when the manufacturers take policy positions that deliberately make life difficult for the customers they sell to, it pisses the hell out of me. As a customer Im annoyed, as an engineer Im disgusted.
There are NO requirements on the motherboard that would exclude Xfire on NF4 and SLI on Xfire, its purely a driver enforced prohibition. PCI-E is PCI-E, period. And no NV permission to ATI or vice versa is required.
The disk results aren't that shattering, NF4 isnt that far behind, and the overall system impact pales in comparison to being stuck at 240Mhz 1:1 vs 270Mhz 1:1 with your shiny BH5/VX wonder ram. Im completely satisfied with my 2xRaptor raid0 on NF4, been working flawlessly since I put the system together in June.
Wanna impress me, at LEAST use the sataII version of the SiliconImage chip as the additional sata ports. The 3124 would have been fine. The RDX200 doesn't support SATA II at all. How can it be "better" featured than NF4?
We still dont know...hope EMC2 will get a chance to check... if the Vtt issue of the DFI NF4 is NOT impacting the RDX200. Since most of the memory controller circuitry and support is on the A64 itself, I ask how can you end up with less than what the NF4 gets for results? Vdimm goes to 4V, so what is actually behind this lower memory performance on the ATI Xfire mboard?
Now now....let's not go out of our way to flame or flamebait.
Anybody got any more info on whether or not the stock is truly over 600? Prices could tumble with stock like that....
Your right...I deleted my post, totally off-topic too :)Quote:
