wow, nice overl on the core to 871mhz! Was this hard to achieve? Did you have to raise volts to get it stable at that?

This source says that the R650 will get out only 3 months after R600... 1gb ram and 65nm...
Tell us: is it possible to achieve 1ghz with your ''misterious card'' witout dry ice cooling?
I mean it is enough air or even water?

btw: do you think it is better to wait for an r650 or to buy a couple of r600xt?

[quake6]

Better wait for r650,beacuse this r600 is way to hot
I know i will wait

[King_Of_Pilots]

i just saw the ULTRA benches, and they are almost there! Only 100 points of difference! and more than 400 bucks of difference!

I've been waiting since november of the past year, so i think that i will buy one now, and another one for 300€ late this year. The r650 will maybe achieve 1ghz, but 2 cards ever beat one. It's math. However i have now an athlon 3500+, not oc'd so i think that maybe it is a little cpu limited a CF config...

[quake6]

It will be cpu limited with one card

[King_Of_Pilots]

Tought so.... but i cant' buy a new pc after only one year. I will wait anyway for K10 before buyn' a new cpu. However i don't know if it would be better to go with intel this time, because the sockets are ever the same and i would pay much less a cpu upgrade. Amd is really annoyn' because of their will to change socket every year...

[Cuthalu]

Huh, so the R600 has the same problem as G80 - high idle power consumption. :/ Luckily undervolting- and clocking might do something positive for that.

[deathman20]

Sure the R650 might come out August/September but still thats a long shot if they get the process correctly on the large R650 die.

I'd say if you want a card get it now, which ever one you want get it now. If anything you can to a upgrade sometime late next year or early the following year for cheaper then launch price of the new higher end cards.

Hey Denny - can you run some game tests? I've seen so many 3Dmark results of every variety at this point, I am getting sick of it.

[deathman20]

Denny, have you had a chance to take off the cooler? Curious if the full jacket water blocks or even the regular water blocks for the X1900's would fit this. Hole pattern and all.

tonight i will post all that 12" pic.
3Dmark03 i can't make it run
it is 8pin+6pin
1GB will be 9.5" for end user, 12" is for S.I

[GLENBOY]

thanks denny will they ship with the 8 pin adapter do you think as hardly any psu have 2 8 pin connectors i have a tagan 1100 quad sli psuand that has 4 x 6 pin pcie power cable but only 1 8 pin and thats a pretty new power supply, i mean if people are planning on using 2 of these in crossfire, i read somewhere that you can use a 6 pin pcie cable on the 8 pin pcie power input of the card is that right, thanks for taking the time to open the subject of these cards up

Thanks for answering
I assume your PSU had those plugs, or did they give you an adaptor ?
I didn't think retail would get 1GB cards until the XTX ... interesting

[biohead]

Yea same question: what about us 4 x 6-pin users? I don't have an 8-pin PCIE2.0 connector, but I have plenty of power for one card.

the XT 1GB GDDR4 will not hit retail, it is designed for OEM only, at least thats what fudzilla says :O , unless AMD change their mind, or fudzilla is wrong.

wow almost a year b-4 your first post!!!! welcome to xtreme systems. other people have stated the 1gb version will be available but i'm betting you would have better luck finding an honest politician than finding one of them available in retail anytime soon.

Or a girl who's not a slut! however, the 1gb version seem to be buggy and does not use all the power of the 1gb ram. So it is pretty useless...

camon baby , thats what i like

[lv_88]

thats amazing!

[GLENBOY]

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

[King_Of_Pilots]

what's the number near ''ASIC temperature via LM64''?
Is it measured in Celsius degrees? That would make the whole pc to autoburn to ashes...

[cantankerous]

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.
