Sorry yes escape
I have pro version too - but on my image it's not unlocked and I never keep one image long enough to input the key LOL
Hey hey,
The postie delivered my XT this morning too. I didn't really see the need to start another thread about X1800's so I'm gonna post here if thats ok. Hard to believe that after all this waiting one of my cards is finally here.
Anyways, after being woken at the ungodly time of 9am and drinking best part of a gallon of coffee to snap me out of my coma I fitted the card...
It's definitley a biggun, it only just clears the SATA connectors and damn near blocks out the chipset cooler, but it all works so thats fine with me. The driver install was a bit of a sod, I really can not bare the Catalyst Control Center and would gladly go back to the original control panel given the option and having to use .net framework just to get the driver working seems like using a JCB to crack an egg.
I just did a couple of preliminary benchies at stock speed on a pretty tired XP install and here's what I got.
3dmark 03 CPU @3.3GHz, GPU @ stock
3dmark05 CPU @ 3.3GHz, GPU @ stock
I'll update as I get more results.

hehe, cheers!@ Animal, I'm sure you already have this, but I found this tool for messing with voltages and clocks. I'll admit I'm too much of a wuss to really get stuck in there so far.
Once I'm feeling a bit more confident I'll turn up the clocks on the card and move up to benching cpu settings to see what can be done.You're dead right about 3dm05 though, it doesn't reward the effort that goes into overclocking the CPU/RAM at all , I spose that's why 3dm01 has been so beloved.

See Animal, a good overclocker never forgets
JAFFA - 9000+ is a great score in 05 @ 3.3Ghz - I scored 10500 with voltmodded GTX and 3.5Ghz
What are your temps like (idle/load).

Cheers Mav, Surprising what these cards can do with just 16 pipes.
It idles at about 52c, as for load temps; there aren't any freely available tools that can log the temps thus far. I did find that while running the overdrive app in CCC that temps hit 72c at full load, however I have no idea if that represents the kind of temps that we'd see while benching and/or gaming, probably not far off though.
I've been trying to hunt down the new ATiTool 0.25.9 which supports R520 which would allow me to monitor the temps, but it seems only the select few have access to that beta at the moment (Fugger et al) Bit of a bark really, but I can wait.
