RADEON X800 SE

[Mr Pepper]

I was wondering if anyone has seen any reviews for this card. It's not too bad of deal. 256MB memory & $323 on pricewatch. Only 8 pipes, but just wondering about its benchmarks.

-Thanks

You can get a pro for 330...

Exactly. The X800SE is currently overpriced.

 

[Mr Pepper]

The "plain" X800 is apparently the new name for the X800SE. It has eight pipelines and (I think) a 256-bit memory interface.

No benches yet; they're not out yet!

The plain X800 is supposed to have 12 pipes.

You're right; apparently I thought I had read something I hadn't. Rumors say they may be replacing the X800SE with the X800 in their lineup, but they are separate cards.

AT article with chart showing all the new R480/R430s

other AT article on them

The RADEON X800 is supposed to have 12 pipes, 400/350 clocks, and a 128-bit memory interface. With those specs, it would *probably* be slightly slower than a 6600GT (although it would be interesting to see if you might be able to softmod it into an X800XL, which would give a card with the fillrate of a 6800U and the memory bandwidth of a 9600XT!).

 

[dbuttcheek69]

if it supposedly only has 8 pipes, then why is it more than $300???????????
it must be more, (prolly 12)

im on my way to do some serious research

 

[dbuttcheek69]

i ran 3d mark 03 on mine with a p4 2.4 overclocked to 3.22 and my score was

7280

i could hardly believe it myself

 

[dbuttcheek69]

allthough im quickly becoming more regretfull about buying this thing, im actually pissed i bought it. please dont buy it. it works farcry, hl 2 all the high end games on highest settings awesomely, but the 6800 is just so much better

i feel ripped off too

 

[Mk1980]

sell it to someone, best option, or overclock it highest as possible

 

[LTC8K6]

The 6600GT is probably as good or better and it's only around $210 or so.

That's right, your Brothers and Sisters here at AT Forums will take care of you

Maybe you can un-lock the extra pipes?

 

[ixelion]

I get 9600 in 3dMark03 with my x800 SE a64 3500+

You cant unlock the pipes they are laser locked.
