Well the specs do state this:
* 230W TDP PCI-SIG compliant
so I suspect that under load is under the 230 watts, not bad for a furball like that
The AA Quallity also seems better on the ATi R600 card, especially also better performance at higher reso's in 3D mark 06 for instance:
:
"This is an impressive result: ATI’s R600 scores about 8.2% better than nVidia’s current flagship, the GeForce 8800GTX, and it leads to the assumption that the card performs even better in higher resolutions. As said above, we will test on higher resolutions shortly. The graphics quality of the R600 is similar to the GeForce 8800GTX, while AA seems to work a bit better on short distances."The drivers that were used were also beta based, so that could also only improve, thereby much better performance, look how 3dfx worked on the Voodoo 5 6000 as example, okay only that never came but the idea is the same.
"We have to note again that these results come from a pre-release driver which has not been optimized yet."My theory is that the X2800XT has the 900Mhz GDDR3 which would be 1800Mhz DDR and the X2800 XTX has the faster 1100Mhz GDDR4 which would be 2200Mhz DDR.
Januari 8 will show a test of a CrossFire setup of 2 R600 cards, let's hope for some pics too!
"Once we have a secondary R600 card and can run an R600 CrossFire Test, we will also test how the card is performing against two GeForce 8800GTX in SLI mode. So check back frequently for article updates. Most probably we will extend this article with two R600 cards around January 8th, 2007."http://level505.com/2006/12/30/the-full-ati-r600-test/2/In Lost Cost the R600 comes to power all the way and leaves it's counterparts behind with ease.
"Particle simulation is done quite realistically, and when played at higher resolutions, i.e. 2560×1600, this game is a blast. However, we stick to our 1600×1200 test for now, and proudly present you the following frame rates:"
"These frame rates underline the extensive shader capabilities of ATI’s R600.
Unlike the graphics quality in Battlefield 2, the R600 shines in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast with excellent AA and AF processing at almost no impact on frame rates.
The HDR rending quality of the R600 is excellent and adds substantially to the graphics; future owners of ATI’s upcoming flagship will love the graphics this card is capable of rendering. ATI definitely did lots of improvements here, which surprisingly does not compromise the frame rate. Two thumbs up!
Until now, the R600 is a clear winner."the one that has been tested is the one with 1GB GDD3 @ 900Mhz aka 1800Mhz DDR
so the scores should be refering to the ATi Radeon X2800XT model, the XTX model would be that card with 1GB 512Bit GDDR4 @ 1100Mhz aka 2200Mhz DDR, that card is gonna be the dream card for my part hehe, can't wait to get my hands on that thing espeacially in CF mode, damn, that's gonna be lot's of fun riding it.
