Thats a R350 core 9800pro... alot of them are shXt... The one we are looking at now... it managed something like 425core 380ram.... thats farely rubbish...

I had a really good 9700np though... it hit 420 core 350 ram

it definatly looks more like the first pic in this thread(the one of the 360) still looks slightly different from that but much closer to that than the 9800PRO PCB.

hey I have an idea for you pacman. Screw your latency timings. Just loosen them and then your RAM wont hold you bad so much. Try it out and lemme know how it works for you.
