Sneak peak look at x1800xt from ibiza

[5150Joker]

Pretty cool new design for multitasking.

On a more serious note, macci and sampsa got their hands on one and OC'd it to 856/1880 :Q according to a post by Gorillakos at xtremesystems.org. Here's the mysterious 3dmark05 picture: Mysterious 3dmark05

Supposedly it should fall between 11k-12k judging by the posts on that forum. Here's a look at an R520 up close: R520 Card R520 Core

Finally there's a new rumor going around on those forums that the R520 will have software adjustable vcore for OC'ers which would theoretically nullify the need for hardware voltage mods.

So much for the theory that these things were already clocked to their limit to compete with the GTX.

OC'd it to 856/1880 :shocked:

WOW.

First one to reach 1Ghz Core Speed gets a Dollar . Let The GPU Mhz wars begin.

 

[M0RPH]

This thing is gonna be an overclocker's wet dream if the rumor about adjustable voltage is correct.

 

[klah]

What are they planning with that giant tank of LN2?

What no more cookies.

 

[Cooler]

Cookies are 50 cents each you can get 2 for a dollar

 

[crazydingo]

Nice, then 2 cookies for Macci.

 

[ddogg]

i think the X850XT was also clocked past 800 by Macci. not sure though but those are pretty impressive OC results!

 

[RichUK]

the software voltage mod could be quite an interesting feature, me looks forward to the long awaited reviews

LN2 genius!!!! At 625 it was laways likely it could have done near 700 but not reliably enough to be set on all of them cards....sub zero cooling out to have worked quite nice....

Lets stick with reality and that 9100 is likely the most honest results we have seen as a stock part...

 

[Cooler]

This makes me wonder if OEM will oc these cards. I know last gen of ATI I saw no one selling them OC .

WHAT?!? I hope my wife is ready for credit card bill for phase change, I will not be outdone!



Kidding.

I hope the R520 is all those waiting for it hope it to be.

I also hope this thing isn't just one big ball of hype

Doesn't sound right. Rumors have the core at a 700 limit. 850+ is just too hard to beleive..

lets just wait a month and see.

That's the funny thing about rumors. They don't always turn out to be true.

these are the same guys runnig things like this. you and i won't being hitting clocks like these. not even morph probably, lmao.

 

[Hacp]

K lol. Now its way more realistic with sub zero cooling.

 

[Polish3d]

Yeah, now I'm hoping R520 is a good 30-40++ % faster than GTX, (unlikely) but if so I'm getting one, but as stated, these guys getting one to 800 is as relevant to most of us as them getting a GTX to 700.

The thread isn't over yet but yeah, that's refreshing, isn't it?

Bingo....What does an FX 57 do with LN2 cooling??? cmon lets be realistic here...the 700 limit likely was based on the stock cooling as it is retail....maybe aftermarket cooler or even a water cooler gets it to 725-750 with the suicide kings loving the phase and 800mhz+....
