There is an X1700 coming soon. I'm very impressed with the x1900! :)

Thanks bobrownik!! Knowing that it's possible to play FEAR at those settings on this card makes it a win for me.

What clocks do you get when you try the Find Max core & mem in ATi Tool?

I think you just said that you now have multiple X1900 cards. Hurry up and get that review done :D

o.0 please explain Brent.

How about you actually read the thread before posting?

The rendering has nothing to do with your videocard, it's all CPU. The video card is only used to display what you see in the viewports. The issues that you can see in your render most likely have something to do with the compression you used. Try rendering it again as a uncompressed AVi and...

I think the R420 cards will definitely be out before the 6800U's, so there is no need to wait.

It's just BS. Wow nvidia says their cards run better, what do you expect them to say?

9800XT

Keep saving! :)

Smartshader is only available for OpenGL right now.

This seems like solid info from cebit. r420 to be launched at almost exactly the same time too.

My guess is that we will see more of the same. Nvidia's hardware not being able to keep up, but their driver cheats giving them a good helping hand.

Well fair enough with it not really being a gamers benchmark. It is more of a straight up video card benchmark. But I remember 2001 being the same thing, back when it first came out and all our systems were slow. Only the geforce 3 could do it all back then. that was the top of line just...

It's nothing like that at all. Give me a real world example. Nvidia bailed out of the beta program but still cheated their asses off anyways. You're full of it. Your excuses for nvidia make no sense at all. Well that debateable in the first place and was removed from the very next...

Who says they are giving out the source code? Even if they are, how does it make it any different? Do you think nvidia would not cheat without it. If so, that still makes futuremark the ones in the wrong and not nvidia?

ut2k3 would be very CPU limited on your system. Like someone just said, there is nothing wrong with 60fps. You can now turn up AA and AF all the way. I know you couldn't do that on your GF2. Try and upgrade your CPU/MOBO/RAM when you can. You're going to need to do that at some stage anyways.

driver cheats, IQ getting lower.

get an old 3dlabs card. Something like an Oxygen GVX1.

I just don't see the point in flashing a 9800PRO to a 9800XT. There isn't really any difference, only clock speeds and I'd like to think everyone here already has their card OC'd too far anyways :D

Why would you bother?

What's an RV40??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

It seems likely. They've done it before.

I thought Doom 3 was going to be capped at 30FPS...

Its not really that different. Just like the GF4 was 4200, 4400, 4600. GF5 is 5200, 5500, 5600, 5700, 5750, 5800, 5900, 5950. Hmm.. okay, there is alot more. Especially if you include the Ultra. non-ultra, XT, SE variants. There is also now geforce pcx.

Its targeted for professional Graphics applications. Not really any good at all for games.

I think only the radeon 8500/9000/9100/9200 are DX8.1 cards. maybe the parhelia!? :confused: gf3 & gf4 are DX8.0 only. Anyways I think you would be suprised that a lot of gamers have moved on to dx9 cards.

We don't really know for sure, but the word is ATI is going to announcing their new cards at the end of march. I heard the NV40 is running a tad late so we won't likely see that in April.

hint: Its GDDR3 Question: Are you actually serious?

not sure, you will have to check it out. Can you try your vid card in another computer? Can you try different power connectors maybe from a different PSU? Does the connector on the actual card look intact? maybe try fiddling with a little and see if you can get it to work. be careful and...

Obviously the power connection is broken somehow. It may just be the cable. The 7000 doesn't extra power thats why you don't get that message.

btw, the fan is currently blowing upwards, as it blows towards the heatsink and VPU.

3dmark2001 is a very system/fsb/cpu dependant benchmark. You're running quite a low FSB and your CPU at stock is pretty slow. This is the reason for your relatively low score. You could try overclocking your system via FSB but if your games are running fine then I don't see any reason to bother.

Okay, VIVO stands for 'video in, video out'. This means that you can plug a video signal into the card and view it, and also plug your computer into a TV or something similar to view whats on your computer on a tv screen. Obviously your card isn't a TV tuner itself, so you would need some...

This has already discussed alot. There is only a beta windows 64bit available. Included on that Beta is a beta version of ATI's 64bit drivers.

Just clock it back at stock. Close the ATi tool. Run a few games or benchmarks. If everything okay, then its obvious you haven't fried it.

glad to see you got it sorted. Thats how everyone runs their tests. OFcourse they wouldn't run games like that, but they all want the biggest numbers when it comes to 3dmark.

Have you tried a different TV? I'm not sure what your problem could be. Works fine here.

Clock speed is not everything. The ATI cards are much better designed than the nv cards. Just give one a try, you won't regret it.
