X800XT isn't it?

[Willis]

Seriously what card is that.:}

when i look at the chips i see gc16
what would it be
x800xt

[Vincentvega18]

Well r420xt would be x800xt. A.) its agp, b.) no unlocking afaik 16 pipes fully enabled. c.) clocks 500/500, should clock around 540/580 (what mine did on stock) and more with aftermarket cooler. I'd say go for it.

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

damn. so i can get an x800xt for 180 cdn. i think im gonna jump on it and hope it overclocks well. wish i could see what mem it had.

what speed is 2ns ram rated at?

what speed is 2ns ram rated at?

500MHz (1000) ?

[perkam]

Yup, 500Mhz. 1000/500=2.0. It's a consistent formula: 1000/900=1.1ns (its really 1.1111111111111ns ram, a little worse than true 1.1ns ram, hence the 1730 on the GTX 512MB instead of 1800 stock)

Where on earth are you getting it ????? PCI-E ? I can still cancel my order for the x800pro...I think.

Perkam

yup, its agp. and it from a guy in toronto, i think he has some hook ups with someone at ATI. most likely since its local and he has ES cards.

[perkam]

oh

There were X800XT AGP AIWs going like wildfire on the Egg about 6 months ago...no surprise there. If ATI's GTO's hadn't entered the arena the XTs would all be ~$250...
