There is no such card as an ATI 6800XT, maybe it was a Geforce 5800xt ?

i wouldnt mind seein a screenshot of it at 527Mhz? i wanna see this

lee-gti · 19 Jan 2006 at 23:09

I must have been looking at the wrong bit!
There is the temp gauge on the left! then there is another gauge called the overdrive and it was this one that said it was 527mhz

lemonkettaz · 19 Jan 2006 at 23:10

what is going on here..

the original card was a 6800? or 9600?

the title is going from a 6800 to 9800xt...that got me curious because i obviously thought.. "why!?..." but now its a 9600 to 9800?

strange

james.miller · 19 Jan 2006 at 23:13

who said the 9800xt is as slow as the 9600xt? lol.

lee-gti · 19 Jan 2006 at 23:14

LOL i'm sorry! i thought it was a 6800 but i looked at the box this morning and its a 9600..

And it was the Graphix processor status, over drive level that was at 527mhz

LoadsaMoney · 19 Jan 2006 at 23:21

Your sigs too big lee-gti, needs to be 400x75 pixels, yeah 63 for the temp sounds perfect.

No one did, he said it was a 6800XT. They perform basically the same

[sarcasm]Just look left of the comments to see who said it

COD2 with my x1800 XL @ 600/700 at high is by no means fast, i wonder what his view in 'fast' is.

I might load COD2 onto my other machine (Barton-M@2400/9800Proflashed to XT) and see how it runs.

His 9800xt has 256Mb ram, so if ** 9800pro has 128Mb ram it wont compare. I had a 9800xt for a short while. Bought was for £88+del in a pricing error which I capitalized on. I was too scared to remove the cooler so I replaced it with a 9800pro, which wasnt so smart cause on ebay I got £200 for it and it was basically brand new and tested, whereas they were retailing at closer to £300.

It does have a temperature sensor, and perhaps lee is reading the upper limit of the scale on the overdrive and not where the marker is?

I wasnt knocking his card, i just wondered how it ran on my old system.
At what settings would i have to run it at to get it running as well as COD/UO on the 9800pro based system, ive heard that with lower spec machines, you have to run it at settings that make it look the same as COD/OU.
Then again the missus is just ordering an indian so maybe i wont bother.

No worries, it's an easy mistake to make with all the numbers.

I really don't think that the GPU on your 9800XT is running at 527MHz, though.

The 9600XT will overclock to 527MHz on the Overdrive automatic overclocking feature, but the 9800XT goes to 432MHz on Overdrive.

Lol

Funny thread, now show me some proof that an overclocked nadeon X9600GTX LE is faster than Rvidia 7800GT02

Wait I'm getting confused
