| | Affiliate Previews: ATI X1900 Radeon X1900 XTX and CrossFire Review  | Quote: |  | | |  | Originally Posted by pcper.com |  | | | | | | | | | Without a doubt, the Radeon X1900 XTX is the fastest graphics processor to grace the PC Perspective test bench. While it didn't win all the tests we threw at it against the likes of NVIDIA 7800 GTX 512, it came awfully close. In several cases, the wins were big. Look back at Far Cry, the Canals09 level of Half-Life 2, FEAR and Call of Duty 2; the wins there aren't the work of any driver hacks or fancy work-arounds. The 48 pixel pipes in the X1900 architecture are hard at work in those tests and ATI's decision to beef them up in such a considerable way really is paying off.

The R580 is a refresh version of the R520 GPU (X1800 series) and comes under the name of the X1900 series; specifically we are testing the most high-end X1900XTX 512MB today.

Even current synthetic benchmarks designed to show off theoretical rates in 3D hardware can have a hard time exploiting the tripling in fragment processing ability. That's not to say the performance increases at the same clocks as R520 are invisible. Clearly they're not without increases, especially at the higher resolutions, of up to 30% in the games we tested, clock-for-clock.

Now this is a good thing considering almost all games released of late use Pixel Shaders Full Story at tbreak.com | |  | |  | | ATI X1900XT Preview  | Quote: |  | | |  | Originally Posted by Neoseeker.com |  | | | | | | | | | There is no Radeon CrossFire X1900 XTX card but ATI asserts that the X1900 XTX will not clock down to match a CrossFire X1900XT Card. Note that this does not necessarily mean that the CrossFire card will automatically overclock. Both ATI and NVIDIA seem to have worked something out with regards to their dual card solutions that allow for asynchronous clockspeeds on the two different cards (NVIDIA enabled this a few driver revisions ago). The X1900 CrossFire will allow for resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 72Hz.

Architecturally the X1900XTX and XT are the same; the only difference between these two cards is the speed of both core and memory. The flagship X1900XTX is clocked at 650 MHz for the core and 1.55 GHz for the memory, while the X1900XT is clocked just slightly slower at 625 MHz for the core and 1.45 GHz for the memory.

Thankfully the performance of the card matches the length of its name. It comes with a core clock of 650MHz and 512MB of RAM clocked at 1.55GHz. For those wondering X1800XT was clocked at 625MHz core, and 1.5GHz memory. It’s difficult to tell the differences between the new card and the old card on the outside, with the only noticeable differences being the number of mosfets next to the long red heat sink toward the end of the board...

This means that the X1800 has had one of the shortest ever runs as a flagship graphics product, beaten only by NVIDIA’s ill-fated and ill-rated, GeForceFX 5800. However, as ATI would have had two teams working on new products, it’s likely that the R580 team were simply on-time, whereas the R520 team, were very late. Even more remarkably it seems as though ATI hasn’t entirely paper launched and its cards should be available to buy as you read this.

In fact, there were very few games where we found that we were able to increase the texture filtering quality upto the desirable and almost angle-independent high quality anisotropic filtering mode. This is where things change. Full Story at bit-tech.net  | |  | |  | | |
