yea my x1800xt still plays all games at high resolutions and frame rates. but no dx10 :/

The Warden (Wife) had a problem with her EPoX 9NPA+ computer which had a HIS X1650XT in it but I changed HDD'S thinking that was possibly the random oddity thing. No it wasn't, I pulled the X-Fi, Floppy with no change so I got the "small" (Physically, compared to the ASUS) X1800XT and at the same time changed out the Crucial Ballistix for Corsair PC3200 XL. I guess it was the RAM. I haven't had time to check it yet. But the Warden won't let loose of that X1800XT !

well im pretty sure my x1800xt 512 is shot to shit. it heats up way to fast! ive got a zalman on it and that worked really well for 8 months. not sure what happened but running games the PC craps out after 10 minutes. i run the atitool cube thingy and i can see the gpu burn up! wtf happened! im gonna try and take it out and see.

I had a very high OC on a 9500 Pro for nearly two years and it then crapped out. I had mine backed off just a tiny bit from artifact's, I would guess you did your OC after you installed the Zalman. Overclocking is great but it tires the equipment quick.

yea, that is what everyone says. oh well, it was fun while it lasted. the only way i can play anything for longer than 20 minutes is too underclock and undervolt the card, and keep the fan at 100% and lower gaming resolution.

i dont know who told you the ps3 doesnt have anti aliasing because it does. also the 7900gtx is superior to the x1800... and all the ps3 games look 3x as good as the xbox360 games on my 42 inch 1080p tv. thanks though.

snuif09 · Dec 13, 2007, 02:42 PM

but you will notice in benchmarks of the 7900gtx with HDR and AA will have an error and that it doent have
AA is told by my eye or it was only in that F1 game

it doesnt work that way. the ps3 is an entire system. it is more than the cpu/gpu .

tvdang7 · Jan 2, 2008, 04:24 AM

i think the xbox is more of x1900 since its got shader units.

and here they state the ps3 saying it has a 7800gtx like gpu not 7900gtx.

Well I was wrong about the RAM. I put the X1650XT in an new machine (Abit KN9 SLI, AM2 X2 5000+ Blackie, 2 Gig GSKill PC6400 in a New Antec 900 case) The Video card was acting up so I had to put my X1900 XTX in there, made the Warden even happier. The HIS is in NewEgg's RMA process now. I think, if they can't replace it I will pay the difference for a 3870. I have two more boards I think that will need cards and I would like the better one in my main rig...naturally

kay188 · Apr 18, 2008, 02:09 AM
