View Full Version : 2900XT holding 3DM05 and 06 records.
These really weren't made to run on stock clocks. :eek:

25,867 3DMark06 (http://www.nordichardware.com/news,6630.html)
I wonder what the XTX will yield, it should clock much higher so the memory may end up holding it back unless they optimised the thing quite a bit...
I've been out of the ring for a while, is there anything much on the XTX? I know it exists, I know the FireGL version is starting to roll, but I know nothing else about the thing.

Actually 2x8800 Ultras are the new king at 26,008 (http://www.nordichardware.com/news,6634.html)
Absolutley amazing, that crossfire 2900xt runs almost as well as the 8800 Ultras at 50% of the cost.

The records shure come an go fast.
I thought it would be a little while longer until we would see scores soo close to 30k.
I wonder how much the GDDR4 version would do?
The faster memory can reach dizzing speeds with enough power and LN2. :drool:
Someone needs to get their hands on the XTX! :drool:

For the XTX I'll refer you to this thread....

In short, though they do exist but not in consumer form, they are workstation GPU's. So really the XT is the biggest you can get for Gaming cards.

Ya, and 25,867 is NOTHING to laugh at, when what Ive seen some of the 8800 cards only do 10k-11k OCed but single cards.

The GTX should do that stock, now a GTS OCed yeah it should hit that. I know my 2900XT hits 11k easily and I can get it to 12k with just an OC on the core. 12.5k with the CPU maxed out on my old board.
can you OC the 2900 without that 8 pin connector? I had heard it warequired to OC it, and that kind of turned me off the 2900 as an option. I am considering everything as I am ready to purchase yet am not sure what I should get with best performance/$ I do know that 320MB isn't enough.

Our own Gautam holds the Aquamark WR, and he's not far behind in '05 either.

No U can get the 1 gig gddr4 version of the 2900xt which is basicly the
2900xtx at newegg.

It's in the 9.5 sec range, I forgot exactly...my best was 9.375 at 5.4.
Wow, and I thought I was doing good at 13.89 at 3.63 on my e6600... I need a newer cpu!

Wrong. The 1GB XT is not an XTX. The XTX cards were going to get 65nm cores and be clocked a lot higher.
Unfortunately when the 65nm die shrink went down in flames the retail consumer level XTX cards went with it.

As Viper said nope.
The 2900XT 1Gig model uses the exact same core as the 512Meg models. It has the exact same headroom, only difference is the ram chips using 64Meg instead of 32Meg and well DDR4. As well there is very little performance difference between the 2 models. If it was a true XTX it would be high binned XT cores, XT's wouldn't overclock nearly as nicely, and you'd see that ~10 to maybe 15% edge with having the XTX Card if lucky in some cases without OCing it.

The 1MB retail cards get the same core speed bin as the 512Mb retail cards. The 1GB OEM cards also
get the 80nm cores but they get selected select center wafer cherries and they do OC better pushing close
to 1GHz on modded cards with VF-IV straight water.
The 512Mb and 1GB retail cards can't even smell those core clock speeds...well there might be a few that
could but they would be real exceptions and their owners are definitely out of the Friday night poker game
with that kind of luck in the draw lol

No way. I pulled down 10k in 3D06 right out of the box with my CPU only overclocked to 3ghz.

For now... ;)
