Someone close the godd@mn thread! Lips Sealed

It's just become one LONG messy big mess of mess... Tongue

Yes, it has gotten off topic. Roll Eyes

Yes, we do like ATI. Roll Eyes

[but no fanboi cr@p]

...and this is in "This & That" which - correct me if I'm wrong - is a forum area for 'miscellaneous'. Roll Eyes

Which means anything fits in here. Tongue

But this thread is still a mess...close it! Sad

-END OF LINE- Lips Sealed

Agreed about the mess, but no reason to close it.

I'd rather see both sides cool of and relax (too much time at hand guys ? ).

Essence of the Thread :
Some like ATI more than others, some don't.
(now that's a 150:1 information compression ratio, impressive uh ? Grin

)

Otherwise, we'd have to open a new subsection of the Forum called "Fightclub".

Yes I agree Falconfly
For now back ontopic, no more fights shall happen here,as they don't belong in this thread.
So let's keep it ATi based!

So here is my ATi collection, it's something I do besides collecting 3dfx cards

ATi Rage Pro Turbo AGP 8MB Rev.A 9839 based on R3D

Gateway System ATi Rage 128 LX AGP 8MB Rev.A 9938 R128 LX based on R128 LX

ATi Rage Fury MAXX AGP 64MB Rev.A 9952 based on R128 Pro

ATi Radeon 256 AGP 64MB DDR Rev.A 0114 based on R100

ASUS ATi Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition AGP 256MB GDDR3 Rev.A 0441 based on R420

Dell ATi M18 Mobillity Radeon 9800 AGP 256MB GDDR2 Rev.B 0510 based on R420M

well everyone here's a photo of the R600 XTX OEM [X2800 XTX OEM] model:

This OEM model is 12.5 inches in length and houses 1GB of 512Bit GDDR4 same amount goes for the much shorter Retail model, it's the one that will be found in OEM PC's like that from Medion, Dell, HP Packard Bell and so on, the Retail one aka the boxed one you buy loose in the retailer computerstores will be alot shorter :, about 9.5 inches in length! that's better news for us users, that the OEM is so much longer was to reduce the costs and put a cheaper cooler design on it.

got it from here:
http://vr-zone.com/?i=4622

"Both feature 1GB DDR4 memories on board but the OEM version is 12.4" long to be exact and the retail is 9.5" long. The above picture shows a 12.4" OEM version. The power consumption of the card is huge at 270W for 12""

Whoooo Hoooo here it is the official photo's of the OEM Prototype of the X2800 XTX , keep in mind the Retail card is much smaller Wink

Here the site who hosted Pics of this beast!
http://www.overclockers.com/articles1411/

However the previewer of that artcle doesn't know if this is the official OEM DX10 card from ATi, but if you look carefully it's the first Enthousiast ATi card with the Internal CrossFire setup connectors and as the dutch source described, this is the official X2800 XTX OEM model, since there are a few resourcefull ATi/AMD insiders in that dutch forum, as they have been to many ATi launches.

Obi-Wan_Kenobi Ex Member	Re: ATi Discussions & Ati Troubleshooting Reply #131 - 09.02.07 at 22:07:42 yeah sure is, but do relise that that is the OEM card, the retail one will have the same size as our R580's FalconFly aka 9.5 inches orsay 24cm So @ least that's the upside for us custom PC builders.

well they are basically the same type of connectors on the X1800/1900/1950 cards, but then instead of 6pinned, the X2800 XTX OEM has 1x 8pinn and 1x 6pinned connectors

This pic shows the 6 pinned power connector on the X1900 XTX:

The X1950 XTX CFE has the same type of power connector:

this pic shows how my X1900 XTX + X1950 XTX CFE CF set is powered up :

Ah a nice update about the 8pinned and 6 pinned connectors on that OEM X2800 XTX and futre cards also:

heh that explains it Grin

so it could be seen in four ways:

Way One:
Use both 6 pin as 8Pin connectors while using the card in a PCI-Express 1.0 slot [aka PCI-E x16]

Way Two:
Use only the 6 pinned power connector for PCI-Express 1.0

Way Three:
Use only the 8 pinned connector for PCI-E 2.0.

Way Four:
well same as Way One but then for PCI-E 2.0 Wink

well got some more R600 info also info of the other names of the midrage as low end cards

I hope somebosy from Chine might be able to translate that graph.

What also is interesting is the X2800XTX2 it has 2 VPU's each baring 512MB 256Bit GDDR4 which is quite a nice idea, looks alot like the 7900GX2 and 7950GX2 idea's from nvidia but then based on the R600 instead, very L33T idea.

heh Quad Cross will have it's place oneday, and it's gonna rock!

Also came across this Mockup of the X2800 XTX Retail card:

heh those PCB flaps remind me of the 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 AGP 128MB Rev.A1 1500 & Rev.A3 3400 cards
