Radeon X800 XT Preview
The whole world is astonished at the ability of the NV40. Many see that the R420 has no hope against the NV40.
After newest computer forecasts the R420 would have to be faster
however some than the NV40!
In everything this interests, at the end of the article stands, how I have "tested"!
The Radeon X800 XT
The Radeon X800 XT uses the R420 chip developed by ATi. This has 16 pipelines. With 600 MHz the chip and the memory are propelled. Can take you from more information out of the following table:
Benchmark
We come now to the benchmark!
Here the 6800 Ultra let the remaining competitors look old, but the Radeon X800 XT puts it in its place: 14040 is an insane value (sorry for this expression, that had to be simple). Also the Radeon X800 pro beats the NV40 with approximately 500
points.
Also in the Aquamark 3 again the same picture: AP 6800 Ultra and the ATi X800 XT set the pace. The Radeon X800 pro can barely beats the NV40.
There folded me the kinnladen down... with so many frames per second
now really nobody had now finally counted! With the Radeon X800 XT we can finally play Farcry on the highest resolutions without a hitch
with 8AA/16/AF play!
This result speaks for the achievement of the X800 XT. Also the slower Radeon X800 pro knows that the NV40 is within striking distance
Also here again, the Radeon X800 XT states the whole test field with a large
projection/lead. Also the Radeon X800 pro pulls ahead NV40 past.
X2 is gesponsert and nevertheless of Nvidia knows itself the Radeon
X800 XT with a small projection/lead of 5 fps. before the NV40 set!
Their smaller brother, the Radeon X800 pro, can do however only approximately 10 fps. more compute than the Radeon 9800XT is appropriate and thereby on that
for 3. Place.
Result
One had not really expected such values now, probably not times Nvidia.
The Radeon X800 XT can convince on full line, there also the NV40 von Nvidia cannot change anything.
Also the "savings expenditure" the Radeon X800 XT, the Radeon X800 pro, could nearly everywhere the NV40 without problems overhaul.
The focused price of 499$ (approximately 420 euro) is not too highly
set for this achievement, completely in the opposite!
Explanation
Me is naturally clear, that this result "offiziel" is not.
But after many see the R420 chanceless opposite the NV40, think I brings this computer forecast article again little reason and
zuversicht into the ATi younger fan municipality.
We are natural on the 4. Strained and results in the height of my calculated expect May!
Since the R420 on the R360 constructs, one can look at my computer forecasts as to some extent strengthened!
Whom it interests:
Suppl.. NV40: Suppl.. NV38 * suppl.. R360 * 1,5 * 80/ 100
- the 1,5 (1,3 with the X800 pro) resulting in itself from the
clock difference between the R360 and the R420.
- the 80% at the end are for "possible not foreseen events".
