[Denny]BBA HD2900XTX GDDR4 1GB SI OEM version

[guess2098]

Those are SI OEM card. Ati is going to release to workstation market. but there should be another version 9.5" GDDR4 XTX for end user market.

Hardware
Mobo: Asus P35 P5K Deluxe
CPU: Intel QX6700 @ 411x9 3.7G
RAM: GSKILL F2-8000PHU2-2GBHZ @ DDR2 1030 CL4-4-3-5
VGA: BBA ATi HD2900XTX 1024 GDDR4 @ 8.374 bios Single Card test
HDD: Hitach 80GB 7200RPM 8MB
OS: Windows XP SP2
PSU: PC Power & Cooling 1WK


Default Single Card













OC max single card on air 870/1152



















there is sth bother me. it is only report XT not XTX. but GDDR4 and 1GB are ok. i wonder why.
under 3Dmark, 05 is killing G80. 06 and 01 increase a lot too by using 8.374 driver. i am going to try 8.38 soon. hopefully it can increase about 10%+

it is all about DRIVER now




add single card info

Hey Denny, could you test please both XTX and XT with 8.38 and same setup? Would be great to see difference between XT and XTX with same drivers.

[K404]

Thankyou Denny!

Please can you confirm those results are single-card? (for rumour prevention)

Score scaling seems slower than on G80 as you overclock?

i don't have XT......but i will ask for two XT... they will think i ask too much..

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

thanks for sharing

Nice results, Ati is back.
Is it possible to see some crossfire action too?

[noel82]

nice results...i'd say

i'm tuned to see updates

[blossa]

As I do not plan to buy this card I have not looked much at results of it. This is one of the first... But as I just two days ago ran some 3DMark06 with stock aircooler on an unmodded 8800GTX (671/1100) and only 3530MHz on my CPU I react on your 3DMark06-result. I got 14746p. Also I got higher points in 3DMark01 with same settings. Did not save it though.

But if I have understood this correctly, this AMD/ATI card has insane clocking potential wich (probably) make theese cards the new 'king of 3DMark'?

And seeing some CF-results will be interesting as CF with other cards usually performs ALOT better than single cards.

Thanks for sharing, looking forward to see your CF-results!

that card's gonna be so sweet under water

thanks for sharing

By workstation market, do you mean CAD/3D graphics? Can't think of any
other portions of the workstation market that would require a powerful
video card.

If that's the case it would be great! A powerful card optimized for both
gaming and 3D graphics applications

you don't need to save, cuz i have it lol

but the point now is driver, nvidia has this card for almost 9 mo (i got sample G80 on Sept 06).

i wonder how well can R600 do (to me R600's SPEC is much better than G80)

[FireLight]

.......

I expect more of this moster....how ever i think the driver is guilty for result.Denny how is the heat(noise) and power consumption?

Well let's hope the drivers gets better soon.

This is exactly what I would like to see.

Denny, would you say this sample of XTX that you have is running the way it should and better than previous samples which exhibited no performance gain over a 512mb GDDR3 card?

You mentioned ATI is releasing a 9.5" version to end users. Do you know when this is or is that the rumoured Q3 card at 65nm?

Those overclocks are definitely sweet, however, with a 4 heatpipe based cooler like that current card getting tested obtaining high clocks, I can't expect the 2 heatpipe based cooler on the retail XT doing the same. If heat really is the issue on limiting overclocks surely the 4 heatpiped cooler would do better than the two as they are under the same design (cooler that is).

6 pin + 8 pins power supply... wow... it needs lots of juice!

[CBONE]

Where can one acquire an OEM card and how much would it be?

[screwtech02]

i don't have XT......but i will ask for two XT... they will think i ask too much..

Is it asking 2 much for some crossfire bench's/action??? I dont think so, especially if they want to sell these cards as a NV "Punisher".....

[Viss]

Very nice card. Overclocked 01 and 05 seems rather low compared to scores with default card clocks.

[theteamaqua]

holy moly!!!!

[theteamaqua]

wait but 8800Ultra score 14000 at STOCK ...
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=143483

but R600 beats Ultra by a large margin at specviewperf 9.03

[guess2098]

CF needs to wait til next week. i don't have CF bridge....

8800Ultra is really good on 06 but R600 is geting closer

GDDR4 is too hot, 512MB GDDR3 XT is not as hot as XTX. I had XT for about 1 day and they overclock about the same as XTX

[Omastar]

Nice results. I'm anxiously awaiting some more game benches with the 1GB version in things like Oblivion and F.E.A.R.

Very nice card. Overclocked 01 and 05 seems rather low compared to scores with default card clocks.

That is because you are almost 100% CPU bound there. clocking the card doesnt give you much benefit.
Use 5GHz CPU and do similar GFX OVCK and you would see bigger gain.

[Rattle]

stock the card is powerful, not very impressive oc'd though

with 8800gtx 655/2100 and e6600 at 3870mhz I get less than 1000pts less in 05 and 06
21,500 in 05 and 13500 in 06 roughly

[Lane-k]

Have you try what Kinc was saying.. raise the PCI express frequencies?...
