Got my x1800xt!!

[bjc112]

CS:S @ 1680x1050 + 6xAA/16xAF

I swapped my card for a different x1800XT, still horrible, horrible, overclock potential.

My last XT wouldn't do more than 763mhz (13mhz over stock speeds). Even less STABLE!!!!

Using ATItool beta 10.. the "Overclocking" utility. and Overdrive in the CCC.

Using a different XT I am experiencing very similar clocks..

Cat 5.11's as well.

Whats the deal ATI!!

There is no way I can play games on end and it goes great at stock!.. 13mhz more, artifacts to sh!T.

On 2 cards! I have used multiple voltages settings, fan control settings and the likes..


EDIT: Cat 5.12's still no dice..

729mhz (8mhz effective over stock ) and the card locks instantly..

No voltag or fan speeeds can change this!!!


9080 @ stock.. I could break 10k IF I COULD F'ing OC!!

9885 with the 700/800 BIOS

Congrats, but why did you got ATI when you could save 100 bucks on Nvidia. No prob though. Power to you.

[Mandatory generic nvidia>ati comment]

jk... let us know how it performs when you get it installed.

 

[Rage187]

I want one.


Anything will be faster then my 7800GT, and I cant stand waiting for the 14th when the 512mb GTX comes out.



But i am gonna wait cause even at $599 I cant see how it can fail. First graphics card since the V5500 then I dream about.

what a tease...

No No you didn't because that would mean ATI shipped on time and several members here who shall remain nameless basically said that wouldn't happen so you must be hallucinating!




Congratulations

As in there's never a good reason to get a video card on the first day it comes out, especially for $600.

sure there is

if i had money to burn, i wouldnt mind burning it on a video card for $600 at release

 

[imported_michaelpatrick33]

I always find it humorous that people ridicule or insult other people about how they spend their money. I guess people should never buy new cars because they lose value so fast or are paying a premium. On and on the cycle goes and jealousy always to those with money goes.

 

[grimlykindo]

Be proud of your purchace OP, that is a sweet card!

 

[nitromullet]

Yep, that is def a sweet card. Grats on being an earlybird and don't take any of that crap people are slinging about paying too much to be one of the first to own this card. They just don't appreciate hardware like you do.
