<A HREF="http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/S&V/asus_xts.shtml" target="_new">Yet another review</A>, from HotHardware, showing that the initial reference boards were are appearing to be the exception, and not the rule about the memory modules. 2.86ns memory is now filtering into all the R9600XT cards/mrfs. Which is the way it should be, never understood the step backwards in the first place.
Oh yes, also an actual review as well, with benchies for the R9800XT/FX5950 and R9600XT/FX5700U. Interesting Halo results IMO. One of the few to show an FX win, I wonder if the Forceware 53.03 contributed to that. Hopefully the issues found in the <A HREF="http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/gffx/nv38-36.html/nv38-36.html" target="_new">DigitLife FX review</A> about not rendering lights using 52.16 aren't still present.
Too bad they didn't do more Benchmarks with the R9600XT overclocked (576/668 seems a little low though). Nice increase in Gunmetal alone (what about actual GAMES!?!).
Anywhoo, looks like High overclocks on the core and on the memory are back!
