WOW that is an impressive 05 score there. And you only have an RD480... That score should go up considerably with a better board. With an RD580 you will gain about 1500-2000 points in 3DMark05 and 1100 points in 3DMark06.

Triple X1600XT action

Well try Colorful Radeon X1600 XT, 256MB GDDR3, DVI, TV-out, PCIe =)
It has stock 650/700 clocks...

Now I've two 1600xt in crossfire.

3dmark03: 15.557
3dmark05: 9.196

Both cards are from Sapphire, running on an Abit AT8 32X with an A64@2250mhz.
I've not many time atm, so the system is nearly out of the box. The GPU's have not many room for oc, I'll leave them on normal settings, but the CPU have room for improvement.

[lupacchiotto]

someone have the pics about all vmod possible for the x1600xt?
thanks

ok i have a dilemma...a friend that is running single card always wants to buy my x1800xt 512mb, and for about 60% what i get for it i can buy 2 x1600xt...my mobo is abit at8 32x, opteron165@2.6ghz and im getiing cca. 5200 3dmarks 06 with xt oced at 730/820...now could the x1600xt reach these numbers (at least 4500 or so) and is there a particular game setting where 256-bit bus and 512mb of single card will blow the limited x1600xts away (like really bad :P)

the x1600xt is not techonlogically capable of matching a x1800xt. It would be a 8x3 config and the 1800 is 16x1, but the inneficiency of xfire and the 128bit mem bus will kill it.

[STEvil]

my x1600xt's at 600/800 and 165 @ 2600 (cfx3200-dr mobo) are good for 10k 05/5.5k 06. Scores on hwbot.org

Just dont use AA (or too much rather) with them and they fly fine. 1680x1050 16AF hasnt failed me yet.

[d4d4cH]

so 4xAA kills the performance? how bad?...can u run a benchmark where u use 4xAA 16xAF @ 1680x1050, since it looks like we have the same monitor

[STEvil]

not really sure, never bothered with AA over 2x since running 1680x1050 or playing an FPS negates the need for it really.

[XEZL]

nice cards & nice score

[althes]

not bad at all

[d4d4cH]

ok...one more thing...i can only find your score of 4.5k in 2006 on that site

[STEvil]

it was only 4.5, typo

[d4d4cH]

hmm...i got a good opportunity to trade my powercolor x1800xt@pe for 2x powercolor x1800gto...should i do it?

[STEvil]

I would.
