HIS 1950Pro 256mb AGP - Best drivers?

[bloodline76]

I am having some trouble with my graphics card and would like to call upon all owners to recommend which drivers are used?

Thanks

I am getting random reboots after playing games for a while. Driving me insane.

Not sure if its heat related, shouldnt be as Im running stock values

 

[bloodline76]

But running on normal stock value it shouldnt overheat. Not had any other cards in the past overheat.

Can you recommend any heatsinking or a fan for it to help out?

What would happen if I run on 100% fan all the time, not bothered about the noise as I use headphones.

I have the first version. It was one of the first cards to come out.

How do I drop the core speed down. With ati tools? Because the cat does not let you go below the factory settings.

Do I increase the memory one?

 

[bloodline76]

I will try that. IF I RMA it can I get a refund instead of a new one as I am not sure that I want another one of these if this is there quality?

Ill try that tonight. Thanks mate. You have been a real help.

 

[bloodline76]

Ok I ran the ati tool with stock drivers. You were spot on.

GPU Core at 573.75
Mem 742.50

benchmark 6150.15

Very stable

Run at normal default settings

Core being 630 something or near there
Mem 742.50

Crash and reboots half way through

What are my options?

 

[bloodline76]

Got it here from OCuk. I will ask for a refund. I am not sure that I want to have another of these after all the hassel Ive had with it.

 

[bloodline76]

I think I will ask for a PCi card. Which would be best for about £150?

 

[bloodline76]

Well i have e6420 and if i get refund I would have about £200 for mb, graphics and mem.

What would you suggest?
