the reason for grief is because some people will do this sh!t on purpose just to be a punk a$$ b!tch...if it was an honest mistake don't take it personal

Maybe. Mine shows "Graphics Chipset ATI RADEON X850 XT PE, Driver Name RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition". ATITool shows my chip is a R420.

PXC , thank you your link showed the same thing I was asking . Must be a 3dmark 2005 thing with the chipset id.

Bob maybe you should try answering the question posted and stop being so damn parinoid. Also thx for the powersupply info I asked you for earlier in this post, it was very helpful. I ended up upgrading to 500 watts and my 12v rail is now 12.08 instead of 11.68 with the 350 watt. Have a nice day.

not being paranoid, sadly it happens more than you would imagine, seriously.

also, here is my 05 score - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1163421 showing the gpu chipset as the x850xtpe but driver name as x800xtpe

 

[xltomcat]

thx again.

thanks since these omegas are based on the catalyst 5.7, does anybody know if there are issues with it and bf2? ea says to use 5.8 and i don't want to f*ck up something that is working fine for me, but i like the omegas better than the ati stock ones....

Yes Catalyst 5.7 had serious issues with swapped textures not showing in BF2.

5.8 fixes it.

so are you saying that omega's are a bad idea if you want to play BF2 then?

Alot. On the order of 30% higher framerates on newer games.

Alright, well I'm stuck with my 9800pro for a while :\

i am going to wait until the omegas are based on the 5.8s, just to be sure...

It's been a week now since ATI has the X800 Pro in stock and they still haven't send me one WTF?

I'm guessing we won't see any "GREAT" deals on ATI cards for a while. Since ATI more or less openingly admitted to their sins, they have little reason to "give away" their high end cards until they can "re-assess" their sales strategy:

http://today.reuters.com/news/newsartic...TRIDST_0_TECH-ATI-UPDATE-2.XML&src=CNN

I suspect they will have another difficult financial quarter (ending November 30).

d@mn, off by $100million

ATI said gross margins in the fourth quarter are expected to be in the single digit range, which includes an inventory writedown of about $60 million to $70 million.

guess that is how so many peeps got new cards....

I just received a package Fedex overnighted to my house from ATI (could only have been from these deals though I don't know if it was from the x800Pro or the x800 XT PE since I got in both of them) but it contained only a power cord in it. It had a 4-pin molex to 6-pin funny thing adapter in it. The sticker on it reads:

ATI:6110019500
WST:C219RA-021
REV.: B
MADE IN CHINA

There was no paper in the package, nothing explaining why this was sent. The x800Pro doesn't have a 6-pin place to plug in the power and I don't think the x800XT PE had one either though I sold it so I can't look at it to find out.

Any ideas what this is about?

 

[pg22]

If anyone got more than one of these, or no longer wants it, I'll buy it from them for a little more than they paid.

Four pin to 6 pin power adapter for PCI-E

Does it look sort of like any of the cables here ? ( 3RD From right )
