X1900XT/XTX on Air

[Concorde Rules]

cant you at least make it 667? Your core is evil at 666!

LOL, yes it is, and no it wont go past 666 - im on the edge! Im sure if it gets hot enough itll go

Here's my simple setup..... All air - X1900XT cooled with a Dynatron BH-610
13009 Voltages 1.500-2.050-2.050-1.500

[Concorde Rules]

Well, if I keep my card under 65C I have now got 666/801 @ 1.40/2.091 as my 24/7 3D clock.

Gonna try for 1.45V/2.1V max clocks

Report later :o

[cantankerous]

let us know dude. Good job as well. I am currently running 680/751 but at 1.375v. Card is running too hot so don't want to go much higher right now.

[Daveb2012]

almost to 14k, I haven't tried since this bench though. Its too hot in CA to take advantage of cold air temps outside.

[cantankerous]

Has anyone at all noticed their screen flicker or flash very quickly once in awhile while running an X1800/X1900?

[Daveb2012]

Only when I adjust Mhz in Atitool. The screen/icons will jump arond some times the whole display will flicker. "running" is very braud so not sure if you mean this.

[cantankerous]

well not during 3D do I notice this. Sometimes while the card is idle on the desktop the screen do a very quick flash/flicker and then its over. It seems to be random and not often but it does happen here and there.

[HousERaT]

I know my screen flickers when I benchmark..... right after I run a benchmark the screen will flicker after a few seconds.... I think it's when the card switches from 3D back to 2D?

[cantankerous]

my card does this every now and then when just idling on the desktop. No switching from 2D-3D going on. Besides that I disabled the two services and am running ATItool which eliminates that altogether. Thanks for the response though. I guess as usual I am the only one to have things happen in their system. =/

having problems with my ocz600watt , it can not pull my setup .
here are specs x2 @ 3.15ghz @ 1.72vcore on mach2 , X1900XTX zalman VF700-CU @ 728core and 828mem .
if i run cpu @ 3.1ghz i have no artifacts but but with 3.15ghz it starts to artifacts in 3dmark hope te get some thing new . im dissepiont in ocz if this psu cant pull this setup it must be replacet or something for a beter wanne hope ocz will help i have payd 200€ for this

[cantankerous]

My OCZ 600w runs my setup just fine. I have a fair bit in my system as well. The only difference is the cpu being different. I have many fans not listed in my sig too.

My finals stockooled X1900XTX results :

wait a minute if this is correct he never changed any of his voltages...does anyone use Overclocker to just increase mem and core without increasing voltage???

[perkam]

Houserat, thats a very good XT you have there 700/800 isn't the norm for X1900XTs from what I've seen

EDIT: It seems yea he's using oc program for clocks and ati tool for volts...

Perkam

thanks bro..... not bad for an XT but I've seen better. I'm also using a cpu cooler on the core.

Hey, some excellent scores Gorod. I would suggest you use ATi Tool instead because when overclocking the ram, overclocker loosens the timings but if you overclock using Ati Tool, you will get better performance and it wont slacken the timings.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the thread

even with the slacker timings the highest overclock with overclocker and the highest overclock with ATI-Tool will give just about equal results.

Nope, have compared it myself on my x1800xl and apparently the tighter timings won by quite a lot of points

Ok , my last play with Fully Aircooled rig , 45K was way too easy for Air , moving to play with water for a while and then to phase and DI

Take care guys , i am out of here

[ahmad]

Those are some nice temps dude. How about you move on to 05

[OBR]

I have NEW Sapphire X1900XT [manufactured 25/1/2006 by the BIOS] and this card have 1.2ns Samsung memory. Overclocking is poor : 720 (1.55V) 730 (2.150V) in Atitool.

Thanks to Mother Nature it's 31° F / -1° C right now here in Atlanta I love to bench with open window , too bad winter is almost over I'l move to 2005 as soon as i get that card at least water cooled and my CPU phase cooled .

Those are some bad news for potential X1900XT buyers , sorry to hear that

hmmm, new bios on the card. All the intial shipping cards were bios 12/21/05 I believe. I wondering what is different if anything? I see you got 1.2ns ram which means it's true. Only the initial shipping cards were 1.1ns and they have switched over. Perhaps the new bios is just for timings on that ram?

[Gorod]

Didn't wanted to make a new thread for posting my new results because i've used my old Max. Air clocks for those runs , but ya - the card is watercooled now DI for CPU , only had 3 Lbs. - Publix been out of stock today , so i didn't had much time to play with my setup today
