Remember our HEXUS.bean a couple of weeks ago about X1800 yields being good enough for ATI to recommend clock increases? Well, it seems ASUS has taken it one step further, going beyond the recommendations for both core and memory, resulting in the fastest R520 to date.
The core of the EAX1800XT Top is clocked at 700MHz, some 75MHz quicker than the stock clock and 50MHz more than the recommended increase we revealed in our .bean. The RAM is also clocked up to 1.6GHz (800MHz GDDR3), up from 1.5GHz.
They've not stopped at just the clocks, either. They're throwing in the King Kong game on DVD, a game pack consisting of Second Sight, Chaos League, POWERDROME plus SNOWBLIND, Joint Operations, Xpand Rally, along with ASUS DVD XP, Power Director 3 and Media Show.
ASUS software allows gamers to record videos of their games in MPEG4 format, or stream their games live over the Internet. All in all ASUS look to be putting together a killer package of both hardware and software, which will no doubt attract the attention of the wealthier gamer.
