i dont think its much the 512mb just uses less ram from the comp so you just get 1-5 FPS in games

yeah, but 512mb also gives a boost when running @ higher resolutions for all the 'eye candy' :D

So it would really only make a diff when higher resolutions are used with max settings.

The main reason i got the 512, was cus wen im going to sell it, ill get a lot more on eBay (dont ask me, but people on eBay seem to LOVE video RAM...i saw 512mb 6200's going for more than 256mb 6600's :p)

512 only make a couple of fps difference at the most as no game takes up the whole of 256mb vram in games yet but i think my pc is the clostest to yours so far :p that is if you havnt clocked your conroe ;) ;P

today ive had the chance to try out my x1950pro in a conroe setup of my friends Meny thanks rankle(nick) :D

e6600 @3.15
1gb of kingston ram
asus p5w Dh
with my x1950pro at stock it wouldnt clock for some reason but here are the screen shots
and 1 taking on his overclocked x1900gt vs my stock x1950pro 635/1480

ive only got an LCD, so max for me is 1280x1024 :(...it wont make that much of a diff @ such a low resolution.

We took a look at the 512MB model and that definitely has an advantage over the 256MB models

see they ran @ mad ass resolutions, hence, the difference can be seen ;)

yeah but as i said, a main reason i got the 512mb version was cus they go for SO much higher on eBay...and when it comes time to sell (in another 2-3 years), games prolly will require 512mb...well not require, but it'll help

anyways, thats what i think :D:p

GeCube x1950 pro

Stock fan on the above is a nuisance – always on 100% - I can only use headphones.

Want to limit rpms somehow but have no idea of current temperature/fan speed (pretty sure it is @ 100% all time).

ATItool 0.26/ATI Tray Tools/Everest do not support my card.

Have this x1950pro-specific drivers from ati - X1950Pro_8-291-1-060822a-036024C – v6.12.

Have tried to get help on hardforum and anandtech – no luck there.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Lol ATI Tool can do it too, just have to be careful NOT to accidentally OC though.

X1950XT is allowed but any dual core or XTX isnt.

Anyone know of a silent 80mm fan that can move heaps of air? My X1950 PRO is sorta getting the heat trapped. Might be time to buy a new case or change the side panel to a one that has a GPU out take vent (Generic TT Case can use the same panel from different models)
