The RV515LE test exposes

[metro.cl]

Here are some tests i found in a chinese forum, i didnt get most of it (couse of bad translator but the most important is there), It the x1300le w/128bits



here are the benchs





Update now on a p4

Metro Cl that's very good news...no need for any apologies. Links to other sites are only not allowed in the fs section or in the sig.

Though It'd be great if you could make the first post in this thread the same as the first post in the other one, with picture links and more info on the card etc.

SUPERB FIND !!!

If the RV515LE is almost beating the X700 with only half the pipes, these cards will be something else entirely ... just wow.

hmmmm could be those 1.33x better than normal pipes.... That may really make r520 a beast...

done, if anyone has a estimated price would be great

[GMX]

wow thats actually pretty good. I get about 14k with the X700 @ 460~/280~ on a 2.36ghz(205fsb) barton. nothing much is tweaked on it though.

I'm guessing maybe $140USD? For a mainstream card seems realistic. Initial prices could be high though

[Cooper]

Finally . Some tests we all could believe in. Pretty nice score with low-end card. I smell 3D Mark new WR within this year with R520
But really can`t wait for mainstream cards test results - IMO as many ppl.

I dunno, I get over 26K on 01, nearly 9K on 03 easily with a 700 pro and it's a cheap card....these things will have to sell for next to nothing to make them attractive....

Edit
the x700 pro with 128 is 134.00 US here in Canada, with 256 Megs it's more (around 165 ish), and the 800 GT with 256 DDR3 is around 180 US....

All are faster cards..... this thing has to be cheap cheap cheap to make sense to me....

[One_Hertz]

hmmm if this card scores 6500 in 3d03 with 4 pipes then r520, which has 4 times more pipes should score 26k??? or am i completely wrong? it also has higher clocks and mem bandwidth...

Your completely wrong.

[One_Hertz]

Your completely wrong.

Could you explain a little?

[ZX7891]

yep 100% incorrect haha

im still gonna throw a BS card here and say this is an X700

[Shadowmage]

lol performance doesn't scale linearly with # of pipes, that's why

Exactly.

Exactly, Exactly. This is the feeling Ive been having, that the r5xx is NOT going to be as exciting as ppl wanted it to be. (and dont be calling me a fan boy, I got both x850 and G70)

[nCrusader]

This should be good.

forgive me if i'm wrong but I cant find any mention on this card being overclocked
and I would assume that your not scoring over 26k with a stock x700? so if this has the potential to clock higher then it will be a good low end card...
and this bodes quite well for the R520.

Holy ...that's the bottom of the line card equalling a 9800Pro! That's not even the X1300Pro...

Anyway, for what it's worth, efficiency definitely seems to be up as a 4 pipe 128-bit card competes quite well with an 8-pipe 256-bit card (all at around the same clocks). I know there are generations between--but outside of the HM and 64-bit versions, this is the BOTTOMOFTHELINE card that ATi will be offering--it's an LE!

That says nothing about the performance of the R520 though except it will probably be better than the R420/480.

[MaxxxRacer]

hmm.. it does VERY well for 4 pipes, but my x700pro kills it.. so no reason to buy this card, other than being tricked by marketing..

[metro.cl]

remember that this card also has other features and you alwyas have to wait for the price if it is 50bucks would be a hell of a card

from anandtech
Even the low end RV515 cards will utilize some form of H.264 decoding and/or HDCP support, making these cards extremely attractive for DVR machines.

[Vapor]

I'm considering making an X2 DVR/Crunching machine with one of these, TBH.

Jetway + 3800+ + X1300LE + my non-used Redline + a nice TV decoder should be very good for both

the x700 pro at stock scores higher... for 134 US dollars for 128... about 160-165 US Dollars for 256...

If both cards overclock equally well, the x700pro will still beat it (this is unknown and mere postulation).

My point wasn't which card is faster, it was where the price point will have to be on this card to make it desireable compared to what's already on the market...

If it offers less performance that the x700pro, it should cost less money... neigh?

So let's assume the pro edition of this card is a match or faster than the x700Pro. It should be in the ballbark cost wise? right? Or you can buy a Sapphite X800 GTO2 and unlock the pipes making it a screamer guaranteed for 220 US retail (announced)....

I dunno, I don't see the attraction in this card unless it sell in the 150-155 dollar price range for 256Megs (you'll still get whupped by a x700 pro with 128 in benchies...but hey...who cares right?)

[Martijn]

I don't like seeing that this budget card almost beats my oc'ed X700 pro (-200 at 05). I want to see the X1600!! I am already knowing that's gonna be my new card

[eddieate]

as always you make a good point UnG i wasnt arguing with you just asking
(the link never worked for me) my x800XL still whomps it and with some voltmods will whomp value end cards for some time i guess,
still does kinda make you hopefull about its bigger brothers doesnt it?

where do you see that?

[Shadowmage]

since it's the low end card?

RV515 is designed for value.
