It's impressive, now that I think about it, how well the 1900gt did. It has fewer pipelines AND lower clockspeed core and mem. With a little voltage, some better cooling, and some luck this could be more overclockable than the 1800XT. Certainly there is a large potential there.But what really made me interested in this comparision is that the X1900GTs 36PS doesnt give the lead in shader intensive titles much but instead get beaten by a 16PS X1800XT quite a few times.

Agreed. Wait for someone to give it more juice before discounting it. It may turn out better than most expect. We all know the core can hit much higher than 625mhz, and the ram isnt even hitting its rated speed at stock volts.
I wonder if they proofread.This part utilises a single slot cooler, which is a welcome relief from the overly loud solution found on the higher-end Radeon X1900 parts. All in all, the noise from this fan is far less unobtrusive than ATI's dual-slot cooling solutions

I don't know if I can resist at this price, VIVO too.Originally posted by: Ackmed

Damn this clocks pretty well. 900MHz on 1.4ns ram???!!! I wish my 1.4ns ram would hit even 700MHz.

ATI Overclocker loosens timings if I'm correct. But bandwith is greater for games and timings for benchmarks unless I'm mistaken... anyone?
