X800VE AIW how many pipes?

[henrik21]

I've been looking for a new Graphicscard a while. Found this one at a webshop http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=310883&view=detailed
Since its almost the half price from the x800xt aiw i think it's quite cheap. Now to the things i'm wondering about, how many pixelpipelines, 16 as the real x800xt or 12 as the x800pro? Since it's lower clocked then the x800xt I don't think it's the same ramchips as x800xl/xt (1,6ns).

"With up to 16 pipelines, higher clock speeds and breakthrough image enhancement technology"

Taken directly from the link you gave us. And if you do a google search it looks like VE stands for XT in Russian or something.

the x800xl is a great choice, and i would recomend it. has full 16 pipes.

At the first version of that page it didnt say up to 16 pipes, (i was reading the swedish version of that page and i linked to the irish.)

So far i've found nothing about this card using google etc. The XL is an option but its more expensive and i don't know if i can afford to spend some more on the rig at the moment.

its not the AIW X800XT because the core on the x800xt is 500. That site lists 425.

Nope. I would just wait until next gen comes out. I would bet there will be a budget r520 because of smartshader 3.0. Its something like 6 weeks from now.

You see if yeilds arent that good with the R520 and they retaped out because of it. It still will have some bad chips which will fail to have all working pipelines. Those become our buget line of chips with newer tech but fewer pipes. Wont be a bad buy.

I know it's not the same speed as a real x800xt, but is it the same core as the x800xt (16/6) and only lower clocks or is it a x800pro core (12/6) and lower clocks then the x800xt.

Budget R520 in only 6 weeks from now in Sweden? It usually takes 2-3 months to get stuff here but maybe they can do it really fast this time.
