X1800XT OC at 760Mhz coming...

[nts]

linky

PowerColor Radeon X1800XT OC 512MB GDDR3 ,PCI-Express, 760MHz core, Retail

Not official yet from powercolor but listed for sale (In stock?)...

wonder what the memory will be at.

 

[Munky]

That's quite impressive. The mem doesnt really matter, because even now the x1800xt takes a smaller AA hit than the 512 gtx, so all it needs is a faster gpu.

 

[Cooler]

wow just wow i wonder if there will be a 800 mhz version.

 

[Zenoth]

It's going higher than I originally thought.

Now let's wait for a 800 Mhz Core (minimum) R580. I wonder how far Memory will go. Are we gonna see 2 Ghz *stock* effective Memory before the end of Q1 2006 ? I'm starting to believe so.

Where are the people that whined about a 25MHz oc?

135MHz is a 21% oc, should be an interesting compare with the 512MB GTX considering the stock XT doesnt do bad.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Hmm, thats quite an impressive OC. However, higher OC means, more heat, and more power consumption. At 760mhz... But dang, thats fast.

 

[Corporate Thug]

this will give the 512 GTX a nice run for its money

This is same with cpus as well. 760 on ATI's first 90 nm i wonder what they will get on 80nm 1 Ghz?

nice 760mhz would be enough to give you near or over 11k 3dmark05 with the right cpu

i.e. my 512MB HIS X1800XT @749/900 stock heatsink = 11,012 3dmark05 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1518685

So basicly all it needs is new bios setting to get that high.

I wish there was a picture so we could get a handle on what kind of cooling this card will use.

The high clockspeeds are impressive but power consumption is going through the roof on both ATI and Nvidia hardware, since they are essentially just overclocking the cards (although there may be a few tweaks as well, a la 7800 GTX 512MB).

The performance is nice, though .

ok when are they going to enable the other 16 pipes on the XTs???

As soon as they design and release a card with more than 16 pipes .

X1800XT needed more GPU volts adjusted in ATI Tool voltage section... i think Powercolor and Asus are either upping the GPU volts a tad + better cooling or speed binning higher GPU cores for their 760mhz and 700mhz respective core speeds. But ATI cards has always responded better (% of increase in OCs) to cooling that nVidia from my experience with

256MB Gecube X800Pro
256MB Powercolor X800XT PE
2x XFX 6800GT PCI-E
2x eVGA 6800U PCI-E
2x BFG 7800GTX PCI-E
1x 512MB HIS X1800XT PCI-E

i.e. X1800XT stock GPU get around 680-700mhz average from what i seen with a few 730mhz, one water that can jump straight to 800-840mhz!

 

[eva2000]

changed to the drivers on the HIS CD-ROM which are cat 5.11 6.14.10.6575 WHQL FM Approved versus cat 5.11 on ATI.com web site which are 6.14.10.6583 WHQL not FM approved and clocked a tad higher

512MB HIS X1800XT stock heatsink air
@756/900 = 11,049
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1530346

(currently equal 7th ranked on ORB for X1800 series OR #2 ranked for WHQL - FM approved drivers )

If powercolor did come out with 760mhz core one, my score would be a nice preview of what to expect

 

[kamranziadar]

Video cards are catching up with the CPU's in megahertz war.

 

[eva2000]

actually i think clock for clock video cards are already faster than cpus hehe but yeah mhz wise it's getting close

 

[Keysplayr]

Dayum!!! Should be a monster!

well r520 IS a new core on a smaller die and i imagine they will be able to squeeze a bit more out of it as yields continue to improve . . . r580 should be quite impressive as it is a further refinement.

just a little side note . . . i notice Video has calmed down in all the "other" threads . . . kinda nice to be able to discuss HW without being flamed every other post [very different than last week] even if it is probably temporary

ATI = Pwn3d

from your link:

ATI?s next-generation flagship GPU, the R580, which the graphics chip vendor expects to release in January of 2006, should actually start shipping at the end of the first quarter, the makers noted.

r580 still on for Jan
