Could someone with both an 5800 and a R350 try this ?

I would like to see the two cards GPU's clocked at the same speed (perhaps 400), loop a benchmark program then measure the GPU temp after a period of time . Just curious to see if the 5800 on .13 runs cooler that the R350 on .15 when clocked the same.

edit changed 5600 to 5800

What's this going to prove? The R350 has more transistors for a start; they are likely to have different cooling mechanisms; the cores may not be the same dimensions; they may use different amounts of current during operation. You've removed one variable (core speed) but left plenty of others floating about, which defeats any chance of making an informed judgement from the findings.

I thought the NV30 had more transistors. . Anyway, if the same cooling could be used on both cards (might be easier to mod the non ultra) I still would be curious.

The Geforce FX 5600 is not the NV30, it is the NV31 and it contains ~ 80million transistors. The FX 5800 is the NV30, with approximately 125 million transistors.

 

[Neeyik]

5800 (NV30) = 125M transistors
5600 (NV31) = 80M
5200 (NV34) = 45M

9800 (R350) = more than or equal to 107M
9700 (R300) = 107M
9600 (RV350) = ? half the R300?

Cooler in what way: overall heat production, or heat per area?

Judging merely by cooler size, it would seem the 9800P produces less heat overall than a 5800.

Heat per area.

I think the RV350 are going to have around 70 million transistors.
