Been playing around with my x1900 XT this morning and i've come to the conclusion its identical to the x1900 XTX. :eek:

Its got the same RAM 1.1ns, clocks as high as the ati clocking tool will go:

690 Mhz on the Core and 800 Mhz on the Mem. Which is faster than the XTX spec.

Looped 3D Mark for over an hour, played BF2 for nearly 2 hours. Not a hint of any tearing, corruption or anything you would associate with the card being clocked too high or overheating.

So, if i were a betting man, i would hazard a guess that ATI have shipped these cards with the same cores and mem and held back better cores for a future release, say the x1950.

They got badly burned by the 7800GTX and the paper releases of the last cards so i wouldnt be at all surprised to see a new card in the very near future.

Anyway, ill be interested to see what people get when they start playing with the cards.

Rex.
