Is it true what that poster said on that forum? That those scores are better than a Quadroplex? I usually don't pay much attention to industry OGL benches.

What resolution?

For comparison, 8800 GTX is half as fast ( 2560x1600 - E6300 2.80GHz): http://www.mvktech.net/content/view/3552/39/1/9/

I do not know, but if you looking at the results @ dailytech, it should be higher than 1280x1024.

If you look into the picture posting score, it stated that the monitor is 17" CMC something.... So, I would suggest this is a score on testing at 1280x1024 resolution.

That put a good smile on my face.:razz:

not a quardoplex lol, quadro fx, which yes better then last gen gf7 quadro fx, not the g8's.

If 1000/1000MHz is "pretty modest", this might fare well against G80 when oc'd. :grin:

If 1000/1000 is pretty modest, one wonders why AMD didn't clock the R600 higher. Maybe we've been mislead on the true default clocks of the XT and XTX. :lol:

or mislead on the overclocks.

Well, if we go back a couple of years we heard about the 1ghz mark first for the r600.

If we like to compare.. the 2900XT will be for R600 what the 1800XL was for the R520. So Getting up with a Ghz XTX sounds much better for a fighting chance.. It would also make the pricepoint of the XT logical.. it's yesteryears XL.
And with no overclock utils available for DT, they were indeed misled by whoever thought of it an XTX at XT clocks with no way to push it...

Wizard hit 1ghz on stock volts which would most definitely imply hitting that clock is somewhat moddest.:grin:

A few boards that may or may not have hit 1 GHz isn't enough to say R600 can reliably hit that clock speed.

Considering the limited number of examples, it's possible those high clocking chips happen to be of a small number of chips with good leakage and power characteristics.

R600 as a design may be artificially capped by an AMD-imposed TDP limit, or the bin splits above 750 MHz are not acceptable within the power envelope.

HD2900XT 1024mb gddr4? :wink:

I was just going to say the same. That's not the first screenshot i've seen with 1024mb ddr4 specs. Curious.

[edit]

Maybe crossfire???

Your are seeing something that isn't there other than the fact that both ATI shots have much more sunshine in them than the Nvidia one does. Go outside ona nice sunny day and you will get shadows like in the ATI pics, go out on cloudy days and you'll get shadows more in line with the Nvidia screenie. And the grass looks the same to me in all three shots. and that is after staring at them each for the last 5 minutes.

... so the r600 has p4 syndrome.

Only in the case that you also assume that the G80 has Athlon XP (not 64) syndrome. :wink: After all it appears they both perform similar just that one is Designed for higher clocks at that performance.

Does anyone have seen anything susceptible to be an NDA break on XS forums?

It has been down for a moment...

Really? G80s ALUs are clocked at 1500MHz. R600s at 750MHz...

Taken with the likelihood that someone who's claim to fame is that of an overclocker, receiving a cheery picked card for that various purpose would not be to much of a stretch.

If the cards are hitting those clocks can't we safely assume that the 2900XT is using clocks that keep it in the 225W power envelope? Not that it was clocked to the max to keep pace with the 8800GTX.

Yeah, regarding that, i've had nothing but problems with that site since they switched servers. So it's really nothing new as far as I can tell.

Take note of the smilie used, what does this tiny creature points out?

Maybe it's the NDA... :idea:

1Ghz sure does sound nice. (possible XT version that comes with 1024mb GDDR4 ram?)

Things are getting more interesting by the day!

Yes, there was a Thread with benches 8800TGTX OC vs. HD2900 XT OC which broke the NDA (8800GTX was faster all the time).
