Got my X1900GT - update

[spitz10]

I got my X1900GT from newegg today, cost me 185 after shipping, so I got a pretty good deal. So far, I have been pretty impressed with the results. I had an X850XT before this, and it blows it out of the water.

I have only played CS Source, HL2, WoW, and CoD, and this card handles all of them very well at 1920 x 1200 on my dell 24 inch. I have it at 4x AA, 16 AF, and I cant stand tearing, so I enable vert sync - my fps never VERY RARELY drop below 60. The only exception is on levels with HDR, it seems to drop the FPS to about 40, but definitely still playable.

I apologize for the lack of benchmarks, Ill probably get to that in the next couple days. Just wanted to give you guys an update....

Curious but is that with stock speeds or with overclocking?

 

[spitz10]

stock speeds, i tried bumping it up from 575/600 to 600/650, ran fine, added a couple fps, not much though

Congrats, I like mine. What are your temps like?

 

[spitz10]

I was pleasantly surprised - when I overclocked and was in game, I was only getting in the low 80s, which, although high, is fine, and is better than my X850XT temps for sure.

What are the specs on the rest of your system?

I felt the same upgrading from an x800xtpe. Was quite shocked at the improvement.
