    From hardwareoc.hu. Due of NDA pressures they removed the review after some time.

    x1900XTX & x1900XT CF vs 7800GTX 512 & 7800GTX 512 SLi

    yeah they are.. IMO the only valid/real results are from FEAR/AOE III. The rest sounds fishy.

    the gtx512 is the watermark for all those %'s. the HL2:lost coast numbers look a bit odd. the gtx512 is much higher than the xtx however the x1900xt CF beats the GTX512 SLI even with HDR+AA

    Scores are all 4+years old. updates soon.

    All scores are outdated

    most of the games look like 20-30% (with some 40's) single compared to single, however some of the improvments are just MONSTROUS with a x1900xt matching or close to matching the 7900gtx 512 in sli

    The good thing about numbers and benchmarks, at least for technology developers, is that they can twist and manipulate the situations from which they are recorded to say anything they want.

    I'd rather have a real review, thanks.

    just saw on driver heaven where the x1800xt is 20/32/113, 1900xt is 24/48/114

    rather large improvement on avg fps meaning less time in low territory.

    if you're talking about the first graph, you need to learn to read the graph, they are based ON PERCENTAGE, one 512 gtx = 100%

    Thought ATI was going 1.2ns due to 1.1ns's supply issues? Good news nonetheless

    ocworkbench seems fine to me.

    As for the 1.1ns ram, yeah...That is great news.

    But why is it clocked so low, and why is it only able to achieve 800mhz? Shouldn't it be able to achieve 900+? Perhaps heat is a major issue, or ATi is restraining the voltage (again), perhaps also pertaining to a heat issue?

    Hmm. Awaiting results from someone using aftermarket cooling + voltage increases.
    That is all.

    Peace and love.

    I think it is because of the special memory controller. It is quite possible that the timings are much tighter at 800mhz than they should be to reach the 1.1ns spec. Making it faster or just as fast overall.

    EDIT: Or the memory controller is just crap
