That's a stock 7900 GTX, not the superclocked eVGA 7900 GTX that was reviewed by INQ. The superclocked GTX has higher clocks (duh) and is warrantied by the manufacturer to operate at those speeds so it costs more. Since it took a superclocked GTX to barely match a stock XTX, the INQ pointed out...

So which of these scenarios could it be: 1. MS paid Bethesda a good chunk of change not to add in HDR+AA for the PC version. 2. nVidia had a hand in Bethesda not adding in HDR+AA. 3. Bethesda are incompetant and lazy so they didn't want to take the time in to add HDR+AA.

Well the game isn't stable with any card when alt-tabbing and yes it's true there are grass shadow flickering issues and according to some CF problems as well that should be sorted out in 6.4. That doesn't mean the drivers are nearly as unstable as you made it sound in your other post though -...

When your card isn't running a 3D application it clocks down to 2D speeds to conserve energy. There's nothing wrong with it, don't worry about it.

This patch just proves Bethesda weren't fully truthful about HDR+AA. They claimed HDR+AA wasn't possible on the PC. Yeah it's not possible on nVidia cards and since Oblivion is a TWIMTBP title, it makes you wonder...

Who's the idiot that does Gamespot's graphs? All variations of red for the performance graphs...:rolleyes:

Power consumption isn't a problem for anyone buying a high end card or at least it shouldn't be anyway. Heat output isn't a factor either since it's blown outside the case with the X1900 hsf and as for price and availability, it is more available than nVidia's 7900 cards and costs less.

I don't think that changes the vs/ps render target which are still 2.0a for nVidia and 2.0b for ATi cards.

Look at the OP's post and then look at the prices for 7900 GT/GTX cards, the availability has gone down while the price has gone up. Why is it that the 7800 series, which was uncontested at the time, never ran out of stock yet the 7900 keeps running out despite being on a smaller die? nV fans...

If the 7900 series were being mass produced, availability would be high just as it was with the 7800 series. In fact 7900 stock should theoretically be even higher since it's made on a smaller die - well theoretically anyway. Reality is showing quite the opposite, the 7900 series has been...

Hey brent, Will you guys start adding newer games to your benchmarks like TimeShift (demo out today), D&D Online, Resident Evil 4, Oblivion etc? I hope you guys diversify games in your testing a bit .

That's what they are.

Good thread, bump. I'm still waiting on newer drivers and software before OC'ing my XTX.

X1900XTX will work with X1900 CF edition and the difference in clock speed makes no impact on performance in CF mode. BTW I think your invoice is wrong - the XT should be 1.1ns but if you're paranoid, then go get the XTX for $25 more.

I have an X1900XT and it uses 1.1ns ram just like everyone else I've talked to that owns one.

I bet it is - and X3 is a game as well so its not a useless benchmark like 3DMark06.

No, ATi tool doesnt record voltages unfortunately. Just gotta wait on W1zzard to update his program.

All 1900XT's out there right now have 1.1ns ram - they are identical to the XTX cards. I bought an XT and flashed it to XTX.

This is with HQ AF (angle independent) and Adaptive Antialising turned on: -------------------------- X3 - Reunion -------------------------- Game version: 1.3.0.US Graphic card name and driver used: Radeon X1900 Series Version [6.14.10.6587] CPU name: AMD Athlon(tm) 64...

Dude how are you OC'ing with ATi tool? I got beta 25 or whatever but it defaults to 500/600 and doesn't OC worth a damn with it and ends up crashing.

You can throw as many facts as you want at Rollo and Empty but they will just close their eyes, put their thumbs in their butts and go "nah nah nah nVidia roxxors my boxxors" and in Rollo's case keep mentioning how he has SLI (e-penis syndrome). That's ok because I doubt very many people take...

I'm underwhelmed because I want to be? What kind of nonsensical statement is that? I stated exactly why I'm underwhelmed by its performance or lack there of as well as bugs with the gamma correction. Anyway, about the ULI chipset, the facts speak for themselves and it does keep up with the...

That we agree on.

ATi made inferior hardware and software compared to nVidia prior to 9700 and nobody thought they'd be a solid competitor. Point is companies do not stay stagnant forever and considering that this particular chipset is being well-received by Anandtech and its performance and features show it to...

They're all reference boards so you can't go wrong with any. Just choose which offers your the best warranty and service and go with that.

You keep calling it cheap junk yet ignore a review by a very respectable site that says otherwise. That's why you have no point and are just frothing at the mouth in a vain attempt to make a point. Anyone that has an iota of common sense can see you and empty have no solid facts about THIS...

You and Rollo keep harping on a very pointless issue: past market share. Like I said, who cares about market share? ULI itself is a new spin-off and this is their new product which is getting a very positive review from Anandtech. It keeps up with an nforce 4 setup and will be a very solid...

The height is around 11.5" and the width is approximately 18.5".

Who cares about market share dipshit? It's a brand new product that has been reviewed by Anandtech and given a stamp of approval. You're just grasping at straws as usual.

Good question. Ok did you try running the cards from both PCI-e slots? If not give the other one a try.

LOL in another words you got owned after you asked for a link and now you're trying to wiggle out of it by spouting more drivel. I guess the infamous nVidiot troll Rollo knows better than Anandtech now. Take off the little green panties, son. I told you, that trolling doesn't work here at the [H].

Well assuming your power supply can handle it and everything else is ok in your system, the card is DOA.

This is NOT a launch. It's a preview from Anandtech because they were lucky enough to get a non-retail sample board from a 3rd party.

ULI is a brand new offshoot company (yes formerly ALI). As for links, here: http://anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2471 Like I said, you're a moron. Your nVidia trolling won't work here at the [H], son.

Crappy ULI southbridge? Wow you're a moron. :rolleyes:

Seems like its just the way your 8500 card works. Get something newer.

For now anyway since they haven't paper launched and nobody knows what R520 will be like. But given X850's performance in Xfire, it isn't far fetched to assume the R520 Xfire should be quite a bit faster.

In another words you want advice on how you can steal a 2405? :rolleyes: They won't call for it, they'll just bill you and if you don't pay, it goes to collections and kills your credit.

Well when the final retail version is released I bet the numbers will only go up considering this preview used pre-release hardware and drivers. If x850 in xfire can nearly keep up with an expensive 7800 GTX SLI setup, imagine what the R520 in xfire will do. :) I probably won't end up getting a...

It's 2 x850 cards and one of them is the master. This is definitely very promising performance since it nearly keeps up with 7800 GTX SLI so Crossfire should do very well once they iron out these few bugs.
