Get your X1950Pro modded BIOS here

@ketxx
what hex string do you edit to alter voltages?
what hex editor do you use? i use XVI32 and cygnus

@X1950O
dump your video ROM and upload it, im sure some one will mod it for ya

Owner, your core clocks are great. I seem to see a lot better overclocks on AGP cards over our PCIe variant. Anyone have a clue as to why that is?

 

[X1950OWNER]

Yeah well... I run my card on water cooling, so max temp I've seen is 40 Degrees Celsius. And the memory runs great, I have Swiftech Copper Sinks on them, then I custom cut some Swiftech copper sinks, and stuck them on the 3 VRMs.
The GPU can probably go higher than 685 Mhz on Core, but I don't want to push my luck on doing so, I am afraid of damaging my card. As for memory it starts artifacting only at 860 Mhz, 850 Mhz is rock stable for 6 hours in AtiTool. But I run 820 Mhz to be safe. My timings are not stock however, and neither is the gpu voltage. Core voltage is 1.4 V, and Timings are:
CAS Latency - 7
RAS to CAS Read - 6
RAS to CAS Write - 5
Row Precharge Time - 7
Row activate to Row active CMD Time - 8
Read to write turnaround Time- 16
Memory Refresh Rate - 0x74
Refresh Row Cycle time - 0x2C (Unaltered)

It would be interesting to see a 3dmark06 result and if you could post in the thread in my sig I will add you to the comp, dont forget the screenies

 

[X1950OWNER]

Yeah In 3DMark 06 I get 6553.
I can't post screenies atm, I am at a friends.
I ran the 3dmark 06 yesterday, so that is what I remember.
By the way I have a Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.8 Ghz

Well feel free to post them whenever you want

 

[X1950OWNER]

I'll post them tomorrow, or in the weekend. I'm at school all day from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Man Grade 10 is challenging. :shadedshu

If you live in the U.S., you'll love 11th grade. Lots of homework and tests ftw!

 

[X1950OWNER]

WOW... Why would I love 11th grade??

Can you put your system specs? Just getting jealous at your scores...

 

[X1950OWNER]

yep, system specs have been posted in my profile, you should be able to access it!

 

[Kursah]

Anyone try Cat 7.3 for OC-ability? In Vista? I'm about to try it out...I'll letcha know what happens.

 

[Kursah]

Nothing changed...so far Aqua's score stayed the same. Using CCC's Overdrive still flickers..

 

[elfizs]

lol as much as I love boobs, I'm pretty sure that pic wil get axed bofore it does tho I saved it There will be a new BIOS, but right now I'm exclusively working on a BIOS for palit\xpertvision cards. The BIOS on them deliberately screws up OC attempts, as the PCB is so different on these cards to others, all I can really do is use some pretty aggressive hacks as the BIOS appears to handle some things differently.

So using normal mod cant solve the problem eh. No wonder I bought this Xpertvision 512 Super
at very low price compared to others. By the way is there any possibility to overcome this ocbility problem?

You said you run a 1950Pro AGP, how are you running a Core 2 Duo?

taken from his profile

Albatron Mars PX915P-AGPe (Bios mod for Core Duo)

 

[Alcpone]

Lets wait and see his proof before we start a witch hunt

 

[skandal]

Lets wait and see his proof before we start a witch hunt

He only needs a mobo with both conroe and AGP suport....

 

[mehukatti]

ASRock 775i65G R2.0 LGA775 that support core duo and agp

 

[Alcpone]

ASRock 775i65G R2.0 LGA775 that support core duo and agp

I know, thats why I was saying lets wait and see, I would like to think they have improved the bios some what so he can get 3.8Ghz out of it

 

[Formula350]

Silly ASRock.

 

[Alcpone]

Silly ASRock.

Before this mobo I have I had the Dual775-vsta from asrock, it pretty well sucked @ oc'ing, but it did have a via chipset, if the new 1 has a intel chipset then im sure it will allow for better oc'ing, only if they have redesigned the bios though

 

[JamesBong420]

Its not complete, but heres what I have so far;

Materials:

2B pencil
conductive pen \ paint

Before making ANY mod permanent I strongly advise you first use the 2B pencil to undo anything that the card doesnt like.

1.47v VGPU vmod:

1.37v VGPU vmod:

Safe voltages would be between 1.4-1.5v, above that things start to get dangerous(you can go up to 1.85v.. but expect your VGPU to die.. fast). Which brings me to my last note, the BIOS which I mod is not guaranteed to give anyone better OC abilities as some cards simply dont have the components on them to take advantage of the voltage table, hence the vmod pics.

can u guys add this to your site please, in the tutorial / guides..?? i was lucky i found it just browsing.. by googling it i didint find anything... if you need help with anyhitng i can help.. but im glad i found this thread non-the-less..

 

[mehukatti]

can that don my card, it is saapphire x1950gt pcb. if it so easy im gonna try

 

[JamesBong420]

i found the original volt mod guide for those pics.. http://www.google.com/translate?u=h...pro-voltmod.html&langpair=de|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8

u also have to do a overvolt protection mod.. i get my x1950pro tomorrow so. by the end of the week she shall be modded up..
