Finally X1950XT results

[Scougar]

After much pain and agro of getting the XT to work correctly.. here at the results so far:

3DMark06
---------
C2D E4300 @2.4Ghz, X1950XT@ 621/900, X4 PCI-E 101Mhz > 5492
C2D E4300 @2.6Ghz, X1950XT@ 675/999, X4 PCI-E 101Mhz > TBC

3DMark05
---------
C2D E4300 @2.4Ghz, X1950XT@ 621/900, X4 PCI-E 101Mhz > 10022
C2D E4300 @2.6Ghz, X1950XT@ 675/999, X4 PCI-E 101Mhz > Artifacted after a while.

My thoughts are.. bit low on the scores, but it is running off a X4 PCI-Express slot thanks to ASRock and not the X16 normally expected.

Will try higher and lower voltages for the overclocked versions... just tired as 01:55AM right now

Just for comparison sake...

3D Marks 06

C2D E6600 @3.2Ghz, 8500GT@ 730/432, x16 PCI-e 100MHz > 3101

wow! That is pretty damn good! 'Almost' double what I managed with my 6800LE in 06.

Didn't think the 8500GT were actually 'that' good. What are stock clocks for that card?

450/400 and they aren't that good no at stock they are around 6800LE speed.

should be able to squeeze quite a bit more out of that, with my X1900XT I get 610x in 3dmark06, thats with e6400 @ 3.3. Your e4300 should be able to hit 3ghz.

Limited by my 4CoreDual motherboard and it's X4 PCI-E express slot at present. I will be playing with the settings tonight in the bios and try and eek some more out of it. Stock fan is pretty noisy when upping the core though.

With [email protected] it's stable, at 2.6 (290fsb) I got crazy graphics, so will try 110mhz on the PCI-E bus.

I think with fan at stock speeds, I could easily reach 685ish/1025ish. With a better cooling solution and tinkering with the volts (up/down) I believe it could be a lot better.

Pretty happy with the XT so far When I manage to get some ddr2 and a better motherboard I will finally be able to get the best out of both the CPU and the GPU Won't be for a while though.
