Performance boost for X800 GT cards with R480 GPU

[Xeonfan]

Questions over questions.... Atitool says, my card is R420, when i'm see on the gpu there stands Radeon X850! What's this, x800 or x850?

 

[Frogger]

the later versions of the x800 cards use the 850 gpu it's the bios that reports 420 if you flash the card with the utility ati tool will report r480/r481

 

[Xeonfan]

Ah so. And which bios does i must use? Memory are Samsung, -14

 

[Frogger]

1.4?? who made the card last i heard 1.6 was the fastest used on the xt/pe.. pci-e type cards never seen a agp with taht mem??

 

[Xeonfan]

Take a look on my pic above. It has samsung K4J553230G-BC14 mem's. This is a AGP model. The manufacturer is Palit, bios is from "gammagraphx"...
This can be either a version built with 2nd class 850-chip or those do solder together what they got.... i don't know!

 

[Frogger]

" those do solder together which they got" that's just what they did .. those chip are fast..rated at 700 you should be able to clock them to over 650 ... wiyh a good oc on the core 550/555 you should have a real fast card ...F

So, i'm back on forum. After 40min playing NfS Carbon with 500/505 settings with atitool no problem at all. The comp blows a little more heat out on his vents, but more speed needs more energy...
When the card works stable with settings over 500MHz, i'm flashing the bios from X850XT into (500/507MHz timing). Only the different mem-speeds between original ond 3rd party bios-mem-timings needs attention. Additional, i change the original gpu cooler and use heatsinks for the mem's.

 

[Frogger]

I love carbon too those mem chips [on your card ] were used on ati 1800 and nv 7800 vid cards as you can see from above they are FFFast

 

[Xeonfan]

Yes, i've reported the memspeeds at playing The card is fast enough, only the harddrive jerks (ruckelt) for re-loading of software a little bit during gameplay...
Strangely! Before that overclocks remained, the game with the latter always running within the third round to hang (at last race)... now, overclocked and all finished!?

 

[Frogger]

old hard drive??? you don't have to use 3rd party bios just use the bios on the iso from the link i posted before you download the file and use your burning software like Nero to make an ISO boot disk that will auto flash your card to the bios that you select from the list on the disk....

Congratulations for your post nr. 800!

My hd is s-ata with 7200rpm/8mb. The partitions are just filled - 30% free space on each is the lowest border. I don't mean 3rd party in case of chips. For me, 3rd party is the use of a other bios(software also!) than the original.
But that the card does not play splinter cell double agent excites me already something (NO pixel/vertexshader 3.0 !) Shit!
If the card works fine for a.e. 1 month, i do "upgrade" it again to faster speeds.... step by step.

 

[Frogger]

I don't pay much att to post counts but THANKS as far as 3.0 I know thats why I use the 850 in my internet rig [see sig] I use a nv7900 on the game mach in the middle of building a DX10 machine for the r600 ati cards when they come out in april

 

[Frogger]

if you want post your original bios and will mod it for core /mem speeds
never mind found it on other post will mod and post back here in the AM time for sleep too many beers tonight ....later F

 

[Xeonfan]

NV 7900? Nice. I'm ATi-friend, my next machine (probably finished april) became a Rad X1900Pro or XTX they launch r600 chips, the 19xx models cost some bucks less then! A lot of weeks i can wait with playing double agent... for agp system buying again a card is too senselessly for me... only when i find a 256bit card from NV for a less price, then - perhaps.
Yeah, german beer!!! Löwenbräu...
"see you"

Xeonfan good day : attached are your modded bios files x800mod =520 core 580mem ..suggest you load this file first and test to make sure it's stable [no artifacts] also modded fan speeds for better cooling ...
if card runs stable and cool manually up speeds to 540 core .... then move the mem up to 650 going on 10/20 point ups ...testing between moves... untill you reach 540 core/650 mem ...if card runs stable and cool at those speeds you can then flash to x850bios .
you will have to uninstall & reinstall your card drivers and ati tool after each flash
after market cooling + ram heat sinks will help this card keep cool and stable at these high clocks and is highly recommended or life of card will be shortened because of the heating
good luck.. F

So, card was flashed - and damaged. Nothing more with it.... thx

damaged??? pls explain

 

[Xeonfan]

damaged??? pls explain

This means that the card wont work.

 

[Frogger]

This means that the card wont work.

did you flash back to yout oringal bios???

 

[Xeonfan]

I think i'm crazy! Damaged means damaged! I put it to the waste...
Flashing doesnt possible when computer with card dont start. Any questions again?

 

[pt]

dude that card looks cooked prob mem... have you checked to see what clocks it's running at ???

 

[Mistbock]

Hi, looks like standart clocks 475/490 checked with RaBiT. it confused me that the card works before driver install.

 

[Frogger]

I assume you are using latest CAT drivers?? you can try another set 6.8 to 6.10 and see if that helps .... But i don't think it will ... I would bitch to the seller and Demand a refund!! you can also try it in another rig But??? I think it's been overclocked to death
