GPU Radeona na 1.003 MHz-a

[McG]

We have always claimed that 90 nano manufacturing process will take GPU's to heights previously unimagined. When Nvidia its launched GeForce 7800GTX architecture, we have seen that 110 nanometre process has its limits, but can be a happy player when running at 500MHz.

At the same time, ATI was bi**hing over its 90 nano baby, the "Fudo rocks nVIDIA's butt in Quake 4" prototypes just couldn't get past the 500MHz barrier. However, once the guy which deserves the highest company bonus in 2005 solved the problem, the clocks started climbing. First, it was 600MHz. Then, 650MHz. A lot of samples hit 700MHz, but attainable yields held at 625MHz, which is the shipping speed of the yet-to-be-shipped Radeon X1800XT.

Two well-known overclockers from Finland, Sampsa Kurri and Ville Suvanto were present at ATI BEACHmarking event in Ibiza, trying to get the beast running at insane speeds. However, the problem was that ATI provided non-OC friendly Enermax 525W PSU's, and there was simply not enough juice flowing through the rails. Muropaketti guys did manage to get well above 800 MHz for GPU and 920 MHz for the memory, which only goes to show that new Samsung GDDR3 modules simply rock - and memory controller is no slouch either.

Guys said to me that with right cooling and enough power, there was potential to crack the 1 GHz barrier. And, that happened even before the retail product hit the shelves and before official, butt-kicking Nvidia driver is made available.

Unlike their fellow countryman Kimi Raikonnen, their GPU engine didn't blew up and with the power of OC-friendly finnish weather and some liquid nitro, the guys managed to get the GPU core rocking at 1.003 MHz, while memory run happily at 940.5 MHz DDR (1.89 GHz). 60 gigs per second of memory bandwidth on a single board. Can you say... OMG?

To je već desetak dana staro
Clocknuo je na gigu i GPU i memu.
Samo mema baš i ne može držati te frekve...

A nisam znal, tek sam malo prije to videl.
