BIOS Flashable X1900XT??
 

Well, the title pretty much says it all. I was wondering if I was to buy a X1900XT if it is flashable to an X1900XTX. I could save myself a good $100 or so as far as the cost is concerned. If not, I suppose I could just overclock it if that is possible.

Has anybody flashed this card or successfully flashed it to a X1900XT, or know if it can be done?

Thanks :D.

From what I've heard on the review sites, there isn't much difference between the two cards. The XTX just has a slightly faster clock and ram speed than the XT (25MHz more on the GPU and 50MHz more on ram.) If you're just a casual gamer I doubt you see much of a difference with the 6 to 10% increase in performance.

At best you can just buy the XT and overclock it to XTX's speed. I don't know about reflashing it though.

Well, I'm pretty much a hardcore gamer, lol. I'll probably just clock it up. At any rate, I'm not hardcore enough to be so insane as to spend more than $100 just for a 6-10% performance boost, assuming I can't get it that fast.

Thanks :D.

The X1900XTX has quite a few more pixel shaders than the XT if I remember correctly, so it might be an actual physical difference.

If they both use the same core, then they should be the same, shouldn't they?

I'm reading the spec sheet right now and the X1900XTX has the same amount of pixel shaders than the X1900XT =p. Though, the X1800XT card does have less pixel shaders than the X1900XT set (4 pixel shaders compared to X1900XT's 12 pixel shaders.)
