R360...shouldn't they all run 412Mhz?

I am talking with a guy who has a R360 core ASUS 9800pro. He says it will only do 405. I thought all R360's would do atleast 412...am I wrong on this?

Thanks
 
well, you can say most could do 412mhz, but not all,, just most.

Did your friend overclock his ram too? if so maybe he overclock his ram to high for a high gpu stabliy,, as him to lower his ram back to stock and see how high his core/gpu can go.

Yes, you are wrong on this.

All 9800XT's should do at least 412MHz on the core, not all 9800 Pro's. There's a reason many of them were sold as Pro's - only the best of the best which are bin sorted go in to 9800XT's and run by default at 412MHz.

All you are guaranteed when you buy a new 9800 Pro with an R360 core is that it is the newer core; that's it.


Intel and AMD speed bin their chips too, so you shouldn't be disappointed that not all Athlon64's run at 2.4 Ghz either, for example, even though it's the same core.
 
On paper, yes as r360 was originally only launched for the 9800xt, eventually ATI stopped making R350 cores and stuck slower r360 cores on 9800 pro boards.
