Think you need to update your sig too jimi.

PucK · 19 May 2006 at 13:58

after playing about with oblivion I have notice that the clocks were not stable. I think it might have something to do with 6.4 cats im using, im going to uninstall and try 6.3.

If you want a game to test it oblivion is perfect as it pushs the card to its max.

Im gonna have another play tonight.
Cheers

Try the 6.5 beta CATs Puck, I noticed an increase in FPS compared to the 6.3s and quite a few others did too.

Anyone else not able to pass 801 mhz on the mem?

Whatever I do I just cannot get past 801mhz, 805/810 etc all checkerboard in the 5th or 6th test of my 20 Loop test of Nature in 2004 with AA and AF enabled @ 1600x1200.

Mem voltage is on both mem + other thing..

625/801 @ 1.400/2.120V = fine
650/801 @ 1.425/2.120V = fine
650/810 @ 1.425/2.120V = 5th test checkerboard
650/810 @ 1.425/2.140V = 6th test checkerboard
625/810 @ 1.425/2.140V = 6th test checkerboard
650/810 @ 1.450/2.140V = 6th test checkerboard
650/810 @ 1.450/2.160V = 6th test checkerboard :mad:

675/801 @ 1.450/2.120V = 20 passes and still going

Temps are under 65C (90% fan @ 65C, 100% at 70C).

I would expect increasing voltage would keep it stable for long enough, but it just doesn't. Increasing the bottom voltage did nothing, well so far

Any ideas??

Or I got a **** card?

CR.

Have you tried lowering the memory voltage? I've seen some do better with volts as low as 1.9v.

trojan698 · 21 May 2006 at 18:54

So whats the deal, do I use ATI Tool or not?

YES!!!!

Hmm, as soon as I lower the voltage it crashes again

ill try 1.9/2V.

PucK · 22 May 2006 at 13:29

Right ive been testing and testing, Heres my results

711 core 801 mem 1.440volts on core

Any volts more then the memory corrupts. I think i could get the core running better but at the expense of the memory clock. do you think thats worth ago? or should i stick with better memory? :confused:

I have not tried lowering the mem volts but i might give that ago.

but i think what ive got to is pretty good as ive just hit 12k in 3dmark2005 with a 1.8 opteron running at 2.75gig

can anyone tell me where to download the NON-CCC cat 6.5's?

FreeStream · 2 Jun 2006 at 18:11

Argh!!!

MS FS 2004 = works @ 675/801 @ 1.45/2.040/2.040/1.580
EVE Online = works @ 675/801 @ 1.45/2.040/2.040/1.580
BF2 = crashes @ 675/801 @ 1.45/2.040/2.040/1.580

Im getting so ****** off with this card.

Any ideas?

Clairvoyant · 4 Jun 2006 at 20:38

Ok now I used to have a XFX7800GTX easy to clock, select 3D then clock.

but ATI (HIS X1900 XTX Ice) you have to clock the 2D, so how does that work.

Regards

Clairvoyant

FreeStream · 4 Jun 2006 at 21:05

*sigh*

YOu make TWO profiles, Defult = 2D

YOu make another = 3D

Then you use 3D detection to switch between the two.

Easy eh?

Lol, tell me all about it

. Bf2 is fussy

I can't wait to switch over to nvidia again, ocing is so much easier(except from voltage control). Still, I did almost pulled 11,3k in 3dmark 05 with my x1800xt

So, what's the best oc here yet? No offence, but 675/801 isn't too much of a overclock... We all can't be lucky, eyhh?

Nah, this XT is bog standard/failed/pooey etc.

Next time ill wait ~2 months then buy a XT-X or whatever the top one is...

In ATI Tool or ATI Tray Tool

Clairvoyant · 5 Jun 2006 at 15:44

hmm

Everytime I try and run ATI Tool I get a blank screen, and have to reboot.

Anyone else had this problem.

ATi Tool.

Using the latest Beta 14?

My screen only goes blank when the clocks are too high for the voltage.

Set 1.4/2.089/2.089/1.500 then set 650/775.

Conc

Clairvoyant · 5 Jun 2006 at 17:31

Yeah its the beta 14

It worked first time I tired the other day.

I uped the volts started to scan and my screen went funny.

rebooted desktop seems fine now.

Is my card broke.

Im at 750/870, not the highest oc on here but still pretty good i think

Damn. Those XTX's really do have sweet memory. I've got 1.1ns stuff on my XT, and the highest I can get is 830.

790/830 is my highest clock, but I use 750/800 for 24/7 use.

Are you WC'ing the memory, out of interest?
