ATi X1950XTX Overclocking/Benchmarks

[JdPower]

Well I started to OC my X1950XTX and below are the clocks...

Default clocks are 648/999

Now the weird thing is that I can go past the current clocks that I have now. It says that its not finding any artifacts but to me I see little yellowish dots on the "fuzz box." Yet it still doesn't detect any artifacts. I ran 648/1098 for 45mins and nothing came up. SO i am confused on if I am coming up with artifacts or not... ?

Here are the 05/06 Benchmarks...

3DMark05

10187

AND

3DMark06

4618

Are those any good? (check system specs)

im not sure about your artis you get before the overclocker finds them...but i do know that sometimes using both atitool, and the overclock tool from CCC will cause your clocks to go back to default without you knowing...that doesn't mean you will get artis, it just means that sometime your clocks aren't were you think they are....

maybe OmegaDrivers paired with atitool would be better for you...also have you set your overclock in atitool to the highest artifact detection setting? i would...it may pick up what you are seeing....if you get those little yellow squares then drop your memory a little bit...that may also allow you to get a higher core clock....

i think you can also volt mod that threw the bios, and that would help you get higher clocks...but i'm not totally sure about that..maybe someone who knows for sure will reply...

Yes the ATIOnion makes sense. Try using just the ATItool. That way you can increase your fans to 100%; CCC won't do that. Also you are probably not having any artifacts.

 

[JdPower]

I am now using ATI tool, and detection for artifacts are low. Should I raise that? I am not using CCC to overclock the card just ATI tool. I thought Omega drivers weren't as good as ATI's? Also I am using Catalyst version 6.10 should I change to 6.11 or 7.1?

Lil scared to drop the memory... here is what the mem is at

Volt mod through bios... hmmmm someone could enlighten that area?

Let me know guys, thanks

if you want to get better OC you need to go to the Settings next to the MEM one you clicked and go to the Voltage Control and up the volts up a lil and try find max core and mem and you going to have to turn off the power switch and then back on cuz it would freeze well thats what I have to do

and im not trying to put you down but my scores are better

oh yea where did you get that wallpaper is it ATI?

How much should I raise the volts? Lil hesitant on that... and power switch?

Oh I can send you or attach the wallpaper... its not a ATI its something that me and a friend created

well before you move the volts make sure there on 3D mode and try find max core just with stock volts "3D" see what you get

oh yea power switch, well when I use find max core or mem when it goes to high it would just freeze and I have to turn off the PSU power switch wait till all the power turns off then turn it back on the boot it up again thats what I do after it freezes

yea send or what ever it looks

In I think settings there is a 2D/3D thing that i unchecked to enable 3D clocks, I believe. And above is the max clocks that I got without artifacts. How much should I change the volts?

And I am not at hom right now, but I'll PM you the wallpaper when I get home.

PS what were your 05 06 3dmark scores?

well as you can see the cpu is oced more then I use right now its 3.6ghz 24/7

wait I did run it at stock on CPU and GPU but only on 3DMARK05

so you already tryed to OC it with stock volts

this is what they are right can you check with the pic

Aw... :[ seems I can't get anymore juice out of my FX-55 which is currently @ 2.8, but I know I can I just think I am OC'ing it wrong. All I have messed with is the multiplyer and volts. Any suggestions on that as well?

I should have saved a lil longer and got a CD2 system... hahaha

I dont know nothing about AMD's never owned one sorry i cant help you there but I know there lots of ppl that can with AMD's

Oh, thats fine. Ask the AMD folks!

 

[DOM]

do you want help OCing your card ?

 

[JdPower]

do you want help OCing your card ?

YES! Of course... its a feen isn't it?

 

[DOM]

so how high would you like to get your core to for starters cuz the only thing you have DDR4 which uses less volts the my DDR3

 

[JdPower]

Well for starters, the "stock" speeds advertised where 650/2000mhz. Get close to that as possible then work from there. Dunno...

 

[jjnissanpatfan]

I think you should score higher in both.With my card at 760/900 and when i had a sandy 3700@2.8 i scored 11,200 in 05 and 5,000 in 06.My friend allso has a 3700@2.8 and 1900xtx clocked high he scores 12,+++ in 05 and 6.000 in 06.So maybe theres something holding you back??

Also when show the 3d view i average 600+ frames.With my cpu@2.4 and gfx-card at 700/800.

I know the stock speeds that wasnt the answer I was looking for

well you had said that you dont have this clicked right look at pic well click it and close ATITool then open it then it should load with the 3D volts and clocks

Alright well I am not at home at the moment so I cant right now... At work... lol

go home then

well after you do that and its at 3d speed try the find core and you should get more i think if not then your going to up the volts well how much longer by the time you go home ?

What voltage is you CPU at to get to 2.8 ????? And what are idle and load temps now at the 2.8 settings?

 

[JdPower]

go home then

Hahaha uh... depends on when I feel like leaving work. I could leave now but that leaves me with more work on monday that I don't want to deal with! lol so I'd say 3:30pm pacific time.

And to DRDNA my volts are 1.55-1.6 (1.55 in bios its set at) Multiplier is 14. Load temps are not more then 45C and idle temps are 33C

try putting your ram on a divider just to be sure the memory or memory controller isnt whats stopping you then try to puch the cpu higher

 

[DRDNA]

you may also just for kicks try one stick of ram just to see if it allows the cpu a higher clock.
