Connect 3D X1900XT, Advice

[Sharkypal]

Just got my X1900 XT, Checked in CCC and its reading Memory speed as 594 Mhz. I thought the card was supposed to be 1450Mhz. Is the card gimped? Or am I reading it wrong? (3D Mark 06 was 3900 @ 1280 x 1024 with everything maxed which seems ok .... but Im a bit worried about the memory clock)

Any help appreciated.

Dual core isnt almost doubling your score ... thats for sure ... can you tell me your settings when you test ... i.e AA, AF etc.

I have an FX-55 lying around, but cant be bothered buggering with the CPU Fan. (Little Drunk you see). Friend just told me that 4K is about right for a 3500. SO I guess I am OK.

3500 XP, and games seem to play fine so I guess I was griping about nothing. Far Cry is definitely faster than my 7800 GTX 512 MB. I will put the FX-55 in tomorrow but I think I will have to order a 4xxx XP x2 tomorrow !

Cheers for your help all the same ... and have a great weekend!

Would appear that 3D Mark 06 is heavily optimized for Dual cores!
