That whole paragraph is about the mem controller, so I think that the speed they state is the speed of the mem controller, not the gputornadotsunamilife said:Last paragraph is quite interesting

How did that dude from xtremesystems.org get it to work? Could he be full of shit?Brent_Justice said:I actually did try some programs to try a little overclocking on the X800 XL, however since these are new video cards with new device ID's and the like I couldn't get any work. I tried PowerStrip, Rage3D Tweak, RivaTuner and ATI Tool.
Brent, thanks for clearing that up. But you should probably have inlcuded a statement about your efforts in your review, as it just seemed odd that you left it out altogether.

Personally I think it's full of shit since it's been mentioned in numerous previews how no one was able to get an OC results since none of the apps recognize the new cards.
Well I know for a fact that ATi sponsored an OCing event over the weekend and they were OCing x1800xt's. I think they had one at like 850 something on the core and 1800 on the memory. So they are able to OC them. Perhaps that guy that I mentioned used the same method that Macci and them used at the ATi event. And as far as the whole 3dmark thing goes everyone knows that 3dmark05 doesn't really represent how games perform however when you are comparing stock to OCed settings you can use 3dmark05 to show the increase in scores.CrimandEvil said:3DMark scores tell you nothing.

691 on air isn't quite impressive to me...it's OK...but far from "impressive". Water may do 710-720....MAYBE...but then again we are talking about pre-production models here....as ATI didn't learn their lesson with Crossfire and it REALLY appears that this was another ugly paper launch....but I won't jump on that bandwagon until tomorrow...
...but considering the 7800's were IN THE BRICK AND MORTAR STORES at launch (even BEFORE launch...but couldn't be sold)...ATI has, it seems, dropped the ball yet ONE MORE TIME.
