[Denny]Cheapest Powerful Graphic Card

[King_Of_Pilots]

i just found out that THOSE are the temperature of the card. I mean they are too weird!!! 200 C° and 19 C° are not easy temperatures to achieve at the same time. How the hell would they have achieved that...

[King_Of_Pilots]

what kind of cooling was that done on to actually run 3D with those clocks. I could see 2D showing those clocks but not an actual successful run of 3DMark without extreme cooling.

I would love to find out what overclocks you can get with the stock cooler clean and stable.

I hope that stock cooler will let you be 24/7 stable at 850-900 mhz, and with the water more or less 1ghz, 1.2 ghz.

i heard you already got 8.37 drivers :P good luck with them

wait for vrzone X2000 cards review , they should test all the cards with stokcooler

its a beta OCTOOL maybe dont read well the temps ????

A bug would explain the strange temperatures, maybe beyon certain frequency, it goes a bit mad!

More or less stock cooler (same heatpipe, different fan)!!! Bloody hell, no water!!
I am already wondering what will achieve with the uber liquid cooling!!!

[GLENBOY]

whats the mentality of ati making the shim higher than the gpu with a card as hot as this obviously people are going to be looking into third party cooling solutions, like waterblocks etc, the polarflo gpu waterblocks i have have been used on 7800gt, 7900gtx and x1900xt and fitted on all these cards, it looks like of the information above without using a copper shim it won't just fit , i can't believe why they have done that its just daft

[cantankerous]

that copper chunk is from the stock cooler? I thought maybe it was an old cpu heatsink with it being so square lol. It looks like it still comes with that aluminum strip at the back to cool the voltage regulators.

If removing the shroud and mounting a different fan on the heatsink nets good results I will do just that. I have a panaflo 92mm Ultra sitting in a drawer doing nothing. On my sunbeam rheobus it shouldn't be too loud while still keeping the card cool. Just need some ram sinks after that and a change of thermal paste of course.

Crap that Shamino is saying that the spacer on the GPU is higher than the core... gonna be ty to install waterblocks without having to mod stuff.

[GLENBOY]

the shim doesn't look any higher than the one on the x1900xt and gpu waterblocks went on them ok

when i had x1900 e x1950 i used twinplex pro that is taller in the midle for the core




i hope it works on x2900

look at that heatpipe

Do you have any RD600 board laying around? Does CF work with drivers you are using now? Theses pics makes me think about robbing a local bank.....j/k.

[GregUMR]

Yeah those are some nice pics. Sexy card..

using ASUS P35 x8+x8.... (did i just say something... ops)

Yes you did!, Only because its the 9th remember Bearlake NDA lift today people

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS

[guess2098]

actually in Taiwan it is been selling for a week.

hiya lane don't you think its a bit weird if you have 2 of these in crossfire that you neen 2 8 pin pci power cables i don't know any power supplies that have more thann 1 atm, why didn't they makre the secondary connector a molex or another 6 pin one , i cannot work that one out

The Enermax Galaxy DXX have 2x 8pin and 2x 6 pin, Silverstone too and i m sure OCZ will release one too...really soon.. all major builder will do a Cfire version with enough 8 pin..

Guess.,.. you use the Asus P5K del or P5K3?... I m really tempted go for a P5Kdeluxe, available here.. ( p5K3 too.. but not the DDR3...)

[cantankerous]

Too bad they couldn't use the same copper cooling on the retail 9.5" card as they are using on the 12" OEM card. The 12" version is only longer due to the extended fan so using the same copper heatsink should have been used on both. 4 heatpipes would have removed a good amount of heat.

here in portugal also selling asus P5K and P5K3 since last week



be-quiet and Corsair are ofeering free 8 pin adaptor

Owners of Listan/Be Quiet! power supplies to get free upgrade to 8-pin PCI Express connectors

If you bought a Listan/Be Quiet! power supply that was made in December 2006 or later, you are supposedly eligible for a free upgrade to PCI Express 2. This means that before the ATI Radeon HD 2900 series is released, you can get the proper power connector. The new connectors will be compatible with the older 6-pin PCI Express power interface, thanks to a simple mechanism to remove the extra pins.

In short, look at the pretty picture, and expect a form to get one of these if you own a Listan/Be Quiet! power supply made on or after December 2006.

8-pin PCIe Adapter Cables from Corsair

As the high-end R600 cards require an 8-pin PCI-Express power cable to be plugged into the corresponding connector (look at the pictures of the HD 2900XT and OEM XTX) especially if you intend to overclock these, power supply manufacturers started to design adapter cables for their current iteration of PSUs that don't come with 8-pin PCIe cables natively. The guys from BeQuiet!/Listan were then the first in providing such adapter cables for free, see the details here.
Now Corsair stepped into the line as well and if you live in the U.S. you can contact Corsair's Customer Service and will be charged for the shipping only an Official Corsair Representative over at the [H]ard|Forum mentioned.
But remember, this will only apply if you purchased the power supply during the last weeks.

im wondering if the cards dont come with de 8 pin adpator , i belive they dont

@guess2098: Do u have the latest drivers now?

[guess2098]

i am going to pick up P5K-D tomorrow actually
there will be another new version of driver
the currect driver 8.374 is not for 1GB version. it is prototype for 512MB

12" is for SI, it is not going sell on market
so don't worry about not fit in your case lol

Dude have you ever tested that card with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?
