Why no talk about X850 yet???
- Thread starter Guden Oden
- Start date
It seems that the X850XT (PE) cooler is doing an extremely good job.
According to HKEPC/Pophard who tested it thoroughly, temperatures go from 53C idle to 44C idle and in 3DM2K3 GT4 it goes from 71C to 62C.
There's some talk about the core reaching near 600 Mhz speeds too (could be wrong here since my babelfish isn't always great).

.42A! I hope that sucker has some (linear?) fan control, because it should be loud at full throttle. The quality of the noise is another issue, one that HKEPC didn't comment on. Plus--er, minus, clear plastic is supposed to resonate more than the cloudy type used in the original VGA Silencers or the opaque type used in most case fans, though I'll admit the cooler looks nice.
hovz, consider that it might not be heat holding the core back from higher speeds. And 600MHz is still the fastest GPU core of any size, AFAIK.
If nV makes a big leap with their refresh, then ATi can worry. But I'd think, given the apparent paucity of XTPEs around, that ATi's priority should be more on volume than speed.

I still think i'll stick to my X800 and wait for the R520 with the Dual Core CPU's from AMD with DDR2 memory etc.

I speculate the X850XT PE will be kickass.

Was pretty interesting though.
nothing has changed at all .. it's just a speed bump with a PCI-E slot.
The other new cards are interesting though.

For some reason MySQL decided to see fit that it would update the live date timestamp field to a value of its own accord. Not sure exactly what is going on there yet.

cant wait to hear the spin ati puts on this release.

I don't get it, what is your point? Also has it been stated that the fan on the card is loud?
Edit: Actually just read the translated version and they say its quieter than the 6800 Ultra and current x800 XT PE coolers. Hope the Beyond3D review can look into this as well.

Could you just stop this crap? We all know that Ati has pissed you off by not making the super-uber-i-kill-you-all-card. No need to bring it up in every single thread.
Oh, i thought he maybe had tried to get Catalyst Makers autograph (why he would be trying to get his autograph, I dont know
) once and he spit in his face or something.gordon said:
Yeah, that's what I also read in that German site (and I didn't even need a translation tool). So it looks like ATi managed to avoid a dustbuster NV30/FX5800Ultra fiasco and it cools quite well too.
Some pics of the new Catalyst can be found here:

My sources at ATI, and they aren't PR sources, tell me that the plan is for the company to release the card and make available AGP bridges afterwards. Whether they will be included in each card or bought separately, this I cannot know, however I'm pretty sure that's what is gonna happen in the end.
