Firstly Hi to all
I have a small query maybe some kind person can help me with, I purchased a X1900XTX from Overclockers uk it was a connect3d card, the 1st was artifacting so they replaced within the 28 days initial period, the second had a faulty dvi port which caused a flicker after 2 months, this was sent back to C3D and 1 month later I have got a new card back from them. Now when I look in CCC I see that the requested 3d speeds are core 641, mem 774, memory looks fine but core is slightly low only 7mhz on the 2 previous cards I have had. So I try to overclock it with overdrive and it is not having any of it with any cats from 6.3 upto 6.7 and the bios carries a higher number than the bios in the Ati collection on this site, i am alittle paranoid that they have given me a b grade card or it is a X1900XT flashed to XTX ish speeds due to short supply of product etc any suggestions why this could be and is it worth me flashing to a earlier bios, as on this site? I have never used a flashing tool for a Grfx card before and I am a little wary of this! My other two cards appeared stable at 689/798 and can not understanxd why this one is not having any overclocking at all!
Thanks in advance for any help
