ATI Shows the X850 XT 512MB
ATI made it clear that this was only a technology demonstration, but the launch of the 512MB X850 XT is very near.
Double the memory sounds fine, but ATI was also showing some pretty amazing performance numbers with the 512MB X850. The numbers were impressive enough – a claimed 10% performance boost in some benchmarks. We can’t wait to get our hands on a shipping card.

#9Well as far as the competition goes, nobody won. We weren’t having much luck that day. Although, I did let the ATI Tech John Bruno play with my rig for a while and he actually came up with the highest score of the day. :-)
And yes this is the real OPP.

Have we just been blessed with a visit from an Extememe Overclocking legend? If you are the real OPPAINTER my hats off to you. I have followed your extreme over clocking achievements over at futuremark for some time now and I must say they are nothing short of amazing. Maybe you should consider being a guest contributer to Anandtech. So who actually won the competition anyway?Wesley Fink - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
#3 - . . . and I just thought it was a blatant ad for ATI, since everyone is wearing ATI shirts and there isn't even a picture of the OCZ booth. :-) OCZ was an event sponsor, like ATI, Abit, AMD, and others, which were also mentioned prominently.OPPAINTER - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
A wedding band doesn’t mean a thing. I’ve been married and I can tell you I had more fun with women before and after my marriage.Questar - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
No wedding rings on anybody in those pictures.Somebody should tell these guys that girls can be fun too.

http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/shows/2005/tex..."OPPainter spent a good deal of time on camera explaining extreme overclocking. Here, he is talking about his current records at FutureMark to an audience who are astounded by the performance numbers that they are hearing and seeing for themselves at the overclocking competition."
In actuality:
"Why did my boyfriend drag me to this? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

First page, the picture of the ATI card, the caption reads 500MB version as opposed to 512MB :).EyeSpy - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
Another great OCZ advertisement! Keep up the blatant bias!ES

Couldnt have said it better Budman. That is very impressive. Wow! I cant believe the performance one would get with an FX running @ 4 GHz!!!!
