ATI 4800 Series to split CORE n' SHADER speed

[ajaidevsingh]

Dont you all think that spliting the core and shader speed would do the FPS some good??

I for one do think so and love AMD for takeing such a step.... Now i can overclock 3 thing in a ATI card...*!*

I'm confused, but that happens easily.

Yeah, it's easy to get confused when reading posts like this. 😉

My 3870 X2's shaders can not be overclocked without overclocking the core..."Shader and core freq. are tied" I could only overclock Core/Shader and Memory speed in 387 X2 but now with 4800 series i will be able to overclock Shaders at a diff. setting's than my core. Thus, getting better results!!! *I hope*

You've actually posted an information without any links, proofs to back it up. We might as well think that you've invented this.

Even if it is true I can't see "the great leap forward", since fine tuning the shader and core will only give you a couple of mhz in plus, so the performance will not increase dramatically opposed to linked core-shaders.

nvidia has been doing this since G80 8800GTX/GTS

Wtf you post a "fact" in the topic and then ask a question? I for one think this is lame.

Assuming it is accurate, that might depend. There could be Synch issues introduced by adjusting specific things that negate any benefit.
