Get your X1950Pro modded BIOS here

[Alcpone]

hi all.i have a gecube x1950pro and o/c at 651/864 .i think i cant go higher cause gpu volt .my mem is llimited .can someone help with gpu volts moding? .i have some nice scores but i want better results cause no arctifacts at all i know my card can go higher.sory for my bad english.

That is a brilliant oc, mine is 641/804 with a vgpu of 1.45v

I dont think your doing to bad to start with, but ketxxx will beable to help you out with modding your bios, just dont push it too hard or you may regret it

my card dont suport fan-temp-volt-timings because have a diferent pcb.i have it in water so no problem of temp.(27c idle) (32c scan for 50 minutes)with my temp sensor.i try to flash it and my pc crash and loose my card for a while.so i flash it again with a seperate pci card to my stock bios .all ok now .i wonder if i can flash my card with a bios with supported timings and volts.temp sensor is missing on gecube.

how did 651/864 beat my AM3 Score at 749.25/1044 and cpu at 3824.5GHz

and the 3Dmark are almost the same as my card at stock with CPU at 3.6GHz

theres something up with the PRO's or there Monsters waiting to be set free

I think theres something missing up

well I was looking at some of the other ones you beat that had more OC on there CPU and Card I find it hard to believe, somethings up cuz how did you beat this guy in 3DMark05

*Checks back at thread...*

HOLY SHIT 864mhz?! Wow X1950PROs are monster OC'ers at proper voltages!

 

[Pinchy]

I dont want to flash my BIOS

Im just gonna wait till an OC proggy comes out, cus my card runs perfect as-is

 

[bobyjo]

You have the core set to 631 or therabouts, then the memory downclocked from 702 to 6xx.
What would be wrong if the core was OC'ed to somewhere close to 600 and leave the memory set to 702?

Ketxxx::
Could you mod a bios that would reflect these speeds?
Default speed on memory is 702, all that would be needed would be to raise the core to 600 or thereabouts.
Timing and voltgage mods would be necessary, I believe anyway, in order to get these speeds to run smooth.

 

[unsmart]

Ketxxx do you think you could mod my jetway bios?
I just ordered a zalman VF700 so I think I can handle the extra volts. My stock heatsink doesn't even get hot under load, they may have used cardboard for thermal past. If you could set Vgpu to 1.425v and the core to 620mh with the ram at 680mh, also could you set the fan to 100% all the time. that would be great .
Those are my max stable OC at stock. I still get the black screen without reset in 3DM06 at core speeds over 620 so mine must be hardware related . I think it's the same prob they where having on Vrzone so I put some heatsinks on the Vregs but haven't been able to run any test yet.

I have mine @ 641/804 w/ 1.45v

Maybe with the extra volts and good cooling you will get higher, your memory doesnt look like it wants to clock @ the mo

 

[unsmart]

The mem will do over 715mh but I want to keep it low at start up and set a profile for gaming. I haven't had the time to tweak it out so I would like to stick with safe clocks in bios.
I'm worried about my Vreg at 1.45v, they are burning hot to the touch when Ocing. The heatsinks should help but better safe then sorry. You can't reflash a dead card and may lose out on a RMA . I'll try 1.45 though, I kinda hope this card burns up on me.
THIS CARD SUCKS!!!
DO NOT BUY IT!!!
DO NOT LET FRIENDS BUY IT !!!
I took a chance because it has a new PCB and thought it might OC better, IT DOESN'T!! It's cheaper then other x1950pros but not enough to justify the lack of features and the shi*y heatsink. With no temp monitoring,fan control or VIVO and no extras in the box this card is a loser. I couldn't find any reviews when I bought this card so if anyone is thinking about buying this card STOP. This is my review and it gets ** out of ***** just because it runs at stock and is a cheap second card for a Xfire set up.

Painful for you mate, I love my card, will see me well for the next few months before I go R600 & new psu

what card you have?

 

[unsmart]

It's a jetway x19pr-ed http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814153034 I'm being a bit harsh, it does what it's suppose to. Just has a cheap feel about it and you can get a card with VIVO and other features for around $20 more. With the mod bios it should do over 640mh so I guess it's not that bad. I just don't recommend it, the pcb doesn't seem any better then ref.

the problem i can see is the power delivery in your pcb.i hope the mod bios you sad can help you.

Ketxxx::

Do you have the bios for the Sapphire Ultimate X1950 Pro?
What would be the possibility of flashing this bios to my card?

 

[Ketxxx]

Dear god the questions lol. If I miss anything ask again

Heres the story as it stands;

I spent all of today modifying memory timings and testing, while 3dmark05\06 ran absolutely fine @ 640\1.5GHz, oblivion artifacted and crashed within seconds of loading.. at a guess as I haven't found volt mods or reading points for non reference 1950 Pro PCBs (nor have I attempted anything with my card yet for vmods) its probably at a pathetic 1.8v vmem.. That said after timing tweaks I did get 3dmark passing with the memory @ 1.5GHz vs 1.44GHz, but oblivion was no go, major artifacting and crash. I'm going to install FEAR and max it out to see if that completely black screens like oblivion, if it does, damn card is going back for a replacement. Really dont want it to be the card, pain in the arse having to send stuff back.

I got a response from bethesda today as well, their going to look into the black screening with oblivion in detail and get back to me.

Now about the BIOS I mod. None of them promise to increase VGPU voltage, as it stands from what I can figure out and see, some 1950Pros can make use of the voltage table, and others cant. It depends on the manufacturer, Simple as that. Thats why I added some vmod pics.

Does anyone own a Jetway \ Xpertvision X1950Pro? If so post a few high quality shots of the card front and back please otherwise I'll upload a few pics of my card tomorrow at some stage.

As a general note; pretty much any X1950Pro BIOS will work on a X1950Pro card regardless of manufacturer, however you will have to watch out for clock differences and be sure your card can handle the clocks in the alternate BIOS. Also be aware that different manufacturers use different ID strings, so ATIwinflash WONT work if the BIOS you want to use is from a different manufacturer, however using atiflash from dos using the -f command to force the flash WILL work.

I'll do 2 last BIOS', one for 256MB cards and one for 512MB cards, I havent forgotten about your BIOS either random, I just lost the BIOS I was gonna use atm

Oh and also, if there is one thing the X1950Pro isnt its bandwidth limited, the card has more than enough available bandwidth even @ stock really, but as soon as you hit 1.5-1.6GHz, any minimal bandwidth bottleneck is completely gone, this card loves and needs VGPU clocks.

i had thought you forgot about me. ty!

 

[Alcpone]

Im battling my way through the dungeons with ease with it set @ 1024x768 6x aa + bloom with no problems, dont know what it will be like when I get out into the open! I hope you manage to sort your tech issues out ketxxx

 

[Ketxxx]

If I had to hazard a guess I would say my card has been undervolted too much. Hence weird signal problems that go away when I ALt+F4, that or its a video memory refresh or codec issue, something along those lines. Probably gonna flash to a modded BIOS, as timings I cant get to work for squat in realtime with my current BIOS appear to work fine with another BIOS dump I loaded to test its timings realtime.

 

[Ketxxx]

Changes:

- 2D clocks changed to 500MHz \ 1.2GHz for power \ heat consumption & to prolong hardware life.
- 3D clocks 640MHz \ 1.45GHz
- VGPU voltage 1.4v
- Fan spins @ 100% 24\7
- Memory tweaks REMOVED.. for now.

These BIOS' are meant to be as generic as possible and to accomodate our OC brethren in places like Ozzy (hence adjusted 2D clocks), any cards that encounter ID mismatches when using ATIwinflash will HAVE to overwrite their v.BIOS with ATIflash from a DOS bootdisk. If the latter applies to the individual remember to rename the BIOS filename so it does not exceed the DOS filename limitation of 8 charecters.

Also attached in this post are ATIwinflash, ATIflash and ATI winClk.

Here are pics of my jetway. On the bottom of page four of this thread I listed the ID numbers of the PWM IC I found on the card. I now believe it's switched with RT9232 controlling the mem. Also I added the heatsinks to the Vregs on the front of the card, theres a cluster of three under each. With the heatsinks I no longer get the black screen at 630mh but it still locks up.

That fan is not very impressive...

Jetway should have stuck to stock
