Hello all My Sapphire X1900 XTX arrived today so here are some nice pics, although my hands were abit shakey of the excitement LoL

so here are the pics as prommised  :hrr:








Man this is some piece of great enginering! it even way's 691 grams :X Crikey!!

WoW that looks freaky!!!

Now I'm asking myself would that game really run fluid on this card ?

Just look at that deer in the bush bush  MaN!


and this Baryonyx:


this hall way looks rather spooky too:


and the light at the end of the Forrest


That game is true amazing and looks dazziling too, man that is really a must have
8)

here another nice shot I made of the 2 monsters

dunno yet Martin hehe, My Mobo, CPU and Ram has to be ordered first but I couldn't leave the card alone hehe it has it's own beauty also Ya know hehe you're a card collector or not hehe 3dfx and ATi are very welcome here.

I've heard that these things are quite in idle mode but when heavy work is comming they tent not to be that loud hehe turn up the music if that happens haha poor neighbourhood lol

Well if that is it's only advantage I rather choose for the Ati Radeon X1900 XTX if you look at raw processing power it's simply amazing.

for Noisy Fans I have good Sennheiser PX-200 headphones nothing like fans can pennetrate those anyways the noise of the Fan isn't too bad some people can exagerate that sometimes lol.

hmm interesting 'bout the Soviet Fan


What are the specs of it anyways I never OC so temps of the R580 XTX isn't a prob here

What is Love Baby don't hurt me, Baby don't hurt me no more,  !!! hehe I'm a true ATi Fan

God help you for putting two WD drives in RAID-0.  That's like putting all of your money in a baggie and then throwing it in Niagara Falls.

I'm useing Seagate HDD's for now no more Maxtor nor WD disks they are just not reliable enough for long term usage as Seagate HDD's are.

in 2 mounths I have head 5 dead Maxtors just by playing games and use'n the PC what it is meant for, so no more Maxtor here and Western Digital als the same problems my last Western Digital HDD was a 60GB it didn't even last 6 mounths lol.

And now I'm still using my 8 year ole Seagate BarracudaIII 30,7GB 7200 rpm and it has never failed me and still no bad sectors nothing, Seagate simply has better reliabillity than Maxtor and Western Digital in my experiences.

@jandarsun8

the RV350 aka Raddy 9600XT and R580 aka Raddy X1900XT well the difference is kinda outa this world !!!

You are comparing an Midrange card with a Extreme High Endcard , rather obvious that the difference is wacko hehe

but yeah FarCry even runs fluid @ 2048 x 1536 x 32 FSAA x6T3 and AF x16 I have read that in articles the R580 has 48 Pixel Shader Processors to make such insane reso's playable, The R580 is truely like the R300 when it was released so far ahead of it's counter parts. 8)

so here a shot of Call of Duty2 @ 1600 x1200 x32 max details FSAA x6T3 and AF x16 in DX9 mode


FSAA x6T3 means FSAA x6 Times 3 so it has the same image quallity as FSAA x18

LOL Renner, I know, it's how he wanted it set up though and after doing the install and watching the games, although I don't agree with the hard drive choice, I'm WAY impressed on the speed though. It's only for gaming so if one of those drives goes down, he's not out to much. I have his Documents folder mapped to his server so he's cool there.

His whole thing for spending his entire tax return on this was that it'll last him at least 4 years and if he dumps in another 1900XT for the crossfire mode it'll go for 6 (for him, that's a record without upgrading something). Either way I know what I'm doing for my setup when I can finally get a chance to creating it.

Oh, by the way Obi, Seagate bought out/merged with Maxtor last year so just beaware that either Seagates quaility will come down or Maxtors will hopefully come up but either way, they're one company now.
