Get your X1950Pro modded BIOS here

[Kursah]

Damn! Now that's an OC I wanna see on these cards! Nice job!

Yea, thats what we deserve, I say. You have a GT don't you? If so, the GTs are rejected XT and XTXs, and both of those are clocked at 650mhz. So if yours made the clock for those, but the pipes failed, that would make sense why you can get more. Sapphire makes an XTX with standalone liquid cooling that is clocked @ 700mhz.

I'm interested what you definition of "modified" is Seeing as my HIS cooler does just as good as the x2 cooler.

EDIT: NM You sig shows a Pro

 

[SpookyWillow]

yeah but are those clocks stable and can you run the ATT benchmark? be very impressed if you could.

Sapphire x1950gt has a different PCB with Sapphire X1950pro , so the x1950gt's bios has a volts table or not ? could Ketxxx give me a modded bios for x1950gt ?

well all i know is.. i have the exact sme card as the GT same pcb and all.. EXACT SAME!!!!!! jsut says pro not gt.. i mean if you want me to show u pics and all i can...

here is what i ordered.. and should have in my hands.

Well you share the 'problem' with this guy as well.

Except, you can overclock like crazy, and he can't for beans heh

If the manufacter is XpertVision/Palit the pro and GT r the same card.

GT's r not XT and XTX rejected, they have the same core as the pro, exact same, and neither the pro is rejected XT or XTX, they r a new core with 12 pipes and 36 pixel pipes based on the XT core but manufactured at 80nm instead of the 90nm of the XT version.

Some say that the GT version is the cores of the pro that didn't pass the heat test at the spec frequencies, but i doubt it, i think the GT is the same as the pro only with lower freq. and manufactures/ATI (drivers) r limiting the overclock

Anyone know how to tell if your card has the hardware to modify voltages via a voltage table in bios? I'd like to at least check my card out.

I have an HIS X1950PRO 256mb non ICEQ version. I'm running on water with a max gpu temp of 38c on load but cannot seem to get the core over 621. It's stable there but as soon as I go to the next step it starts artifacting and locks up within seconds.

i've found that the best test for a videocard is the GPU.FAH client.
i can run the ATT to infi. @715, with GPU.FAH it runs for about 2min before my comp crashes, i have to bump it down to ~705 to run the GPU client for more then 1hr.
throw in a 8K FFT orthos....if you can run a OC'ed computer for more then 1hr with both running, your G2G.

welcome to the club.
does someone know how this card works on crossfire with example asus or msi card just curious
used pro can get about 120€ wouldnt be so bad

 

[Ketxxx]

Heres my original bios you wanted skandal. its a very ugly affair looking at it, mis-matched timings, reserved CAS latency that samsung themselves say NOT to use in their pdf, etc.

Ket, i will probably use your mod bios for testing i just wanted this one to check the fan speed

 

[mehukatti]

JamesBong420 have you any working modded bios, with extra voltage? i try several and no one work

 

[JamesBong420]

i have not tried new bios... im more tempted to do a hardmod.. but still waiting to hear if ts confirmed to work....

 

[mehukatti]

but dont you have to do that overvolt lock thing?

 

[saberliner]

if your rom is volt locked, you can always hard-mod it and get a-lot more voltage then you can with a soft mod.

 

[JamesBong420]

real question of the day... do any of the voltmods work? and we need a real guide if it does.. if anyone is up for the task..

 

[Formula350]

It probably does work on cards that adhere to the ATi PCB standard.

 

[saberliner]

oh yeah, they work very well, there are picture guides in this thread.
digg around pg's 8-18

 

[mehukatti]

yeah but we have gt pcb. does that mod work on that

 

[Formula350]

Go find a 1950GT Volt mod guide

 

[Ketxxx]

Dont whack a huge amount of voltage in right away, do small increases to find where your card becomes unstable as the 1950pro is very picky with voltage.

 

[Ketxxx]

Heres another Xpertvision\palit BIOS, not sure how it will react, but it seems very stable in testing. Default clocks 621\1.5GHz.

I tried the volt mod on the Asus EAX1950pro about 2 months ago. It involved
bridging several contacts with conductive ink and penciling the 3066 resistor down
to 5.9k ohm. This was based on a guide which I think was on VR-Zone website. Some people
also had better luck solder on a variable pot. instead of penciling 3066.


For me I got no actual voltage change with the hard mod. Some people were getting
voltage increase with different cards but the problem is there is a video signal loss
as soon as they go into a 3d app. Apparently this is due to the vrm power supply on the
cards being already maxed out.

So my take on the hard mod is that it doesn't really work. The article on the site also suggests not to bother. ITs also tricky and you can easily short out or damage your card.
