I bought an ATI X800 XL from www.ati.com 2 weeks ago when it was on sale. Loaded ATI Tool and it's saying "Active Pipelines : 8". The box says 16 pipelines. What should I do???
 
ATi tool says my X800XL has 4 pipes, and reads my clocks as '#j18r", so dont feel bad :)
 
a friend of mine, is having a similar problem with his x800pro,

gets all the approx marks in benchies just not quite mixin well with ATITool,

gl
 
Check it out with RivaTuner 15.x, that sould show how many pipelines are effective on the main screen.
 
Play some games or run some benchmarks. If the performance is fine, it doesnt really matter, just an annoyance/
 
I thought the XL had 12 and the Pro had 16. Truth be told i havent done research on GFX cards since the X800 XT PE was FIRST released. I could be wrong, but thats the feeling i got from the nVidia crowd.

XL has 16 pipes, Pro has 2, but the pro costs more for some reason :confused:
 
did some research and the normal x800 was the one with 12 pipes, not the XL...apparently the XL is the x700xt with a different name. Correct me if im wrong.
 
yea, you're wrong. the X800XL is a completely differnt GPU. I'm pretty sure it's the R430. anyway, here it is plain and simple....

X800 PRO and plain X800 - 12 PIPES
X800XL - 16 PIPES

thats wrong, The XL has has 16 pipes and 6 vertex shaders.

It's completely new chi also. uses a 90nm process, rather then the 110nm used in the X700XT

The x800XL is 110nm.
 
Specifications
RADEON X800 Technology Specifications
160 million transistors on 0.13 micron low-k fabrication process
Up to sixteen extreme parallel pixel pipelines
Six programmable vertex shader pipelines
256-bit quad-channel GDDR3 memory interface
AGP 8X support or PCI Express ™ support

Straight from ATI.COM

130nm
 
X800 Series, it doesnt specify a card.
X800 PCI-E/X800XL = .11m
X800 Pro/X800XT/X850XT/X850PRO = .13m low-k

that was for hte first run of x800s, the new ones were released alongside the x850s and they are fabbed on 110nm.


I thought the reasson it was so cheap, was because they used a 90nm process, which is cheaper?

and 110 is cheaper than 130, which the x850 series is sitll being fabbed on. the x800 pro/XT/XT PE are being phased out.
