[Ripper294]

I have a ATI x1800Xl but ordered a 7800 GTX 512 . its out of stock so I will get it when its in stock. But after seeing this I am not sure since I want the High 3D mark 05 scores I am thinking of cancling my order.

Well it seems that link doesn't work. Any way its about the Asus X1800XT O/C scores over 10,000 in 3Dmark 05 .
I will go see if I can get better link.

Do you play 3dmark?
No, I think not. The GTX 512MB is the fastest card available.

Look at it this way, GTX512 is not in stock so it probably wont be coming for a while. If you cancel and wait for benches to be released (end of Nov apparently) then you may very well decide to buy the ASUS TOP card, if not then the GTX512 is still available (and probably in stock).

If you buy the GTX now but want the ASUS TOP later then you're stuck with the GTX unless you can sell/return it...

Since you have an X1800XL I dont think there's any rush to get something faster either

So my suggestion is wait for benches, then make your decision

 

[Ripper294]

Well since thats the only score given I don't no what it does in real world. Do you?

My P4670@4.4 GHz and X1800xl core 625 memory 650 scores 9000+
Its very smooth in all the games I play @ 16x12.
Yes PC mark 05 are very important to me !

Very good advice and that ends this thread for me. Thanks

You dont know what the cooling is on that OC either. You could be talking an additional $100 for a custom waterblock, or even rediculous LN2 or dry ice cooling that cant be used everyday.

 

[Zstream]

nub, its the Asus x1800xt pe so it already is air cooled.

 

[Ripper294]

Ya its on air and very hard to understand whats wtitten . But no its not the X1800xt pe its on air but the core is ar 650 and memory is a 675 . I think its so hard to read.

I should be able to tell that from the unreadable translation in the link he posted. My bad. :laugh:

Look at it this way:

1. The last two times I looked for a 512GTX, they were in stock somewhere. Saturday newegg had two brands till they sold out. Yesterday, I found them at two vendors. Today:
In stock here?
In stock here?

Use this thread for stock and pricing

2. Some people don't like nVidia, for whatever their reasons, and would try to mislead you that it will take a long time to buy this card. Not true, it goes in and out of stock at newegg and other etailers, you just have to keep your eyes open.

3. AFAIK the Asus TOP monstrosity is not even released. What I do know about it is the pathetic 3% factory OC in no way justifies it's huge price premium. 25MHz on this card is NOTHING.
Also, as the XT is a hotter card in general and the TOP dumps all air back in case, this will be the hottest one. (unless they're hiding a phase change in that picnic basket they've bolted to it!)

My $.02

Rollo even though I have never posted befor. I needed some good sound advice and I got it from a gentleman in this thread . That I am going to listen to.
I really only want only fair and honest replies . I read the forums here all the time because I am always screwing something up on my PC. 99% of the time other people have same problems and post . I read them and someone here always seems to give the ans . I am looking for.
Even though I am very young and daddy pays the bills. I still try to be responsiable .

I like nvidia ati amd intel and others . So normally I shop and get the best deal I can get for daddy's money. Can you tell me the prices that you kinked to . The price of the card I ordered was $699.

Daddy has always insisted on onr thing from me. To be open and honest in whatever I do.

As I said Rollo I have read the video forums here for at least 3 years I am 15.
But I have to say rollo you are a bad man . always spreadibg rumors that aren't true. About ATi. Coming into really good threads and trashing them.

As I already stated above I already got the good advice that I will take before you posted.

Than you come in and tell me about these bad people that will mislead me. Your right and his name is Rollo.
you come into good threads a ruin them . I can't believe the forums allow you to stay

Sniff....sob...you're right.....I have been evil!

I've seen the error of my ways, and will repent.

Please, all I ask for is a chance to make it right.....



LOL! Great post, thanks for the big laugh!

I think you're a banned member, back for revenge on me (lol- what 15 year old would say "My daddy works hard for his money, I must be prudent spending it") but I'm glad to have you back if you're going to post comedy of this caliber!

The highest 3Dmark05 score I've got with one card was around 10,890. (@634/1.82) Seems like most of the 512MB GTX's will oc' to 600/1800 out of the box with no problems. I run mine at 621/1.8 24/7 and I haven't had a problem yet. I was less impressed with my 3Dmark05 while running these in SLI...it was around 14.2k or so. Like everyone else says though, 3Dmark is not a game.

I thought that card would O/C better than that on air . What do you think it would get on water. I am water cooled . Do you have any links for a water cooled setup I could compare results to.
This is a big decision for me as I want Good scores in 3dmark 05. . Enter I guess I can go to the orb and see . But that doesn't tell me how there cooled . in or out of the case .
The guy that built my Pc has installed 3 or 4 of the X1800xt cards in pC's like mine but says so far I have the only P4 670 @4.4 ghz.
Before he worked on mine sat. he just did another guys just like mine with A p4660@4.2 GHz X1800Xt Core @ 775 Memory @ 800. Told me that 3DMark 05 score was 12,370. I said he didn't know but mine should hit 13,000+

Hmmm for a guy "careful with Daddy's money" you seem willing enough to risk destroying high end parts with OCing to play 3DMark E-peenos games?
