Is this a low x1800xt performance?

Look at my sig you prat, i've got an X1800 XT 256MB from Connect3D.

Yeah but the rest of your stuff isn't junk like mine, no need to call me a prat because my sub-par hardware gets a low score? :confused:

That was my point, I wasn't bragging about my score (why would I?), just saying it is good considering the crap I'm running on.

You're starting to really annoy me and a lot of others on this forum.

My post was directed towards the OP and a few others with the Sapphire, not just you specifically. You really need to drop this uber ATi act. As much as I like ATi, they are not a godsend and roxor the world. You've got to understand that yes, an ATi card can perform poorly!

Guys dont ruin my thread please.
Anyways what volts are the rest of you running your x1800xt's at to get those high core clocks?
at default I only manager 637 and thats the core at 1.275? Would it be safe do you reckon to crank the core voltage upto 1.35v?
What would I need to be looking out for temp wise, the resistors going too hot/core running too hot?

they run at 1.4v in 3d mode i think... 1.25v in 2d mode. im not sure how you alter it tbh...

Vegeta · 29 Apr 2006 at 12:32

Are you sure, according to ATI tool this card only runs at 1.275, I've upped it to 1.35V and the cores reached 672.30.

How do I know what is 3dmode/2dmode?

On ATI Tool it only has on set of core/memory settings and doesnt say whether its 2d or 3d.

helpimcrap · 29 Apr 2006 at 12:33

i have no idea how it works tbh lol.

AFAIK, when you adjust the core/memory, it's just set for when you run 3d apps.

This is really annoying im just going to flash the bios and set a clock that way, if it artifiacts i'll put it down.

I'd say 9k is great considering I'm using a Jerry-rig of an overclocked CPU, a ghetto motherboard, and some of the cheapest and crappest RAM available right now. All on stock cooling, I might add.

I smell a bitter fanboy in our midst.

P.S. They're cheap because OCuk struck a deal with Sapphire. Is that so hard to believe? No need to take it out on us because it burns you like the wicked witch of the west skinny-dipping to see excellent value cards with "ATi" written on.

Dumbass statement that was. Tbh.

A little more help here for the OP: link

Jack Bauer · 30 Apr 2006 at 11:02

Anyone put the voltage over 1.4? Im trying to make 11k in 3D05 so I want to up the core speed. Just not sure what kind of voltage these can take.
500 points to go so if anyone has any ideas feel free to help

CPU wont go any higher I dont think. Tryed 1.57v and it still wont make 2.8

fullfat · 30 Apr 2006 at 11:32

my [email protected], 512mb x1800xt score 9,3** on 05 so your score is low.
have you changed drivers lately? maybe a fresh install would help

Vegeta · 30 Apr 2006 at 11:55

thats a x1800xt 512mb! I've got 256mb, and yes I've sorted it guys please read up

BS Dave · 2 May 2006 at 01:57

Exsomnis are you mad?

If I remember correctly, the 3000+ Venice is 1.8GHz at stock. Overclocking it to 2.4GHz is going to make it a silly amount faster, probably faster than my 3400+ at 2.6GHz.

Of course it won't your 3400 is still going 0.2 ghz quicker!!!!!!

869 posts as well :rolleyes:

Some quotes makes it easier to read. Are we posting up here now?

Maybe he was referring to a [email protected] > [email protected]

754. Slower HT, single channel with less bandwidth. Dunno how they compare clock for clock, +5% maybe for the 939.

Vogon · 2 May 2006 at 09:58

Around 9k stock and 9.7k @ Max CCC overdrive (690/790) for me on a 2.6ghz Cpu.
I run games @ 1680x1050 4xAA with max detail no probs.
Not at all shabby for £170

That would make sense if I was also using a Venice, and wasn't using a Newcastle. :rolleyes:

Try trolling elsewhere.

Let me elaborate: The Newcastle core requires higher clock speeds to achieve the same performance levels of the Venice core. Going by an educated guess, a Venice clocked at 2.4GHz would perform roughly at almost 3900+ speeds, whereas my Newcastle clocked at 2.6GHz performs pretty much bang on 3700+ speeds. There's differences in architecture, voltage, thermals, memory controllers, and caché that all influence the end performance of the processor. So yes, a Venice @ 2.4GHz would whip my Newcastle @ 2.6GHz.

Really need a high clocking opteron to let these cards fly.

i get 9500 using overdrive with 690/790. i think 10k would be quite achieveable if i could work out how to alter the voltage.

With my X1800XT 512Mb, i can just scrape past 10K (10009 lol) at the same clocks as you with a X2 3800 @ 2500Mhz.
