Pointless fan grill. Will just slow down airflow, and wont keep things from getting in the fans.

WarEagleAU · 01-26-2007, 10:13 PM

I agree about that, it shouldnt have the second thing on it. Should only take up one slot, not two. It is a beautiful card, though a bit of a beast. Im disappointed in the fact that they used aluminum instead of copper. Id still get it though.

Either way its still a monster cooler anyway! Copper would be far too heavy and put too much stress on the card itself.

You can dremel the bezel anyway so whats the point of complaining?

dugg it great info !

ktr · 01-27-2007, 08:03 AM

"if you can run that card, you can run r600"

Power consumption + size + so-so performance = no go

powerbill is gonna be high with that card.

tofu · 01-28-2007, 02:31 PM

only thing i could request is a bench comparing normal with overclock in games and such, would be intresting to see the perf delta between stock clocks and max clocks

Ketxxx · 03-09-2007, 02:28 AM

Interesting results for 3dm03, @ stock my 1950pro stomps all over that score

FYI the 1950Pro can have distinct 2D\3D clocks. It depends on the BIOS, some I've looked at only have one speed profile, while other BIOS' I've looked at have 2. Bit pot luck really.
