ATI?s Radeon X1800 XT Breaks 1 GHz Speed Barrier
Looks like ATI’s X1800 XT graphics processor is very overclocker friendly as a two Finnish over-clockers broke the 1GHz mark. ATI said that once faster GDDR-4 memory arrives next year, users can expect to see the hidden potential of ATI’s innovative new memory controller design. ATI said the processor and board PCB are GDDR-4 ready, so I can’t wait to see the numbers then!
An independent team of Finnish over-clockers has made world history by over-clocking a graphics processor to engine clock levels above 1 GHz. The record was set on the recently-announced Radeon X1800 XT graphics processor from ATI Technologies. Noted Finnish over-clockers Sampsa Kurri and Ville Suvanto achieved graphics engine clocks of 1.003 GHz and a memory speed of 1.881 GHz (940.50 MHz DDR memory clock) with maximum system stability and no visual artifacts.
