OK, thank you for your feedback.

OK, thank you. I owned a 2900 pro a few months ago and, by increasing the GPU voltage by 0.2 V (software), I was able to overclock it further by 10 % (900 -> 990 Mhz). So, with 0.15 V more on the 4870, I think that the gain will be between 5 and 10 %. Your result will enable to confirm...

And what is the default voltage ?

I don't have the 4870 card yet. I am hesitating between this card and the GTX280. On the Nvidia card, GPU voltage cannot be increased by software. On ATI card, it seems that it is possible (4850) which is an advantage. Of course, if I were sure that it is the case and how many volts can be...

Does RBE work with 4870 cards ? What is the maximum possible GPU voltage ?

I am testing several games to see the 2D/3D switching problem : - FEAR 1.08, Prey demo, Serious Sam 2 : the problem appears. Even if I see 3D clocks enabled in Systool, when I exit the game, the 3D clocks have automatically changed to 2D ones. - Half Life 2 Lost Coast, Splinter Cell Chaos...

I have the same problem : when I switch on the 3D frequencies with ATI Tool, I see that they change from 2D to 3D freq (500 to 769 Mhz for the GPU and 725 to 810 Mhz for the DDR3) with Sytool. So far, the behaviour is normal. But when I launch a game with 3D freq enabled with ATI Tool, the...

I disabled the temperature monitoring and it seems that my keyboard lag problem has disappeared : I tested with Far Cry and Half Life 2 so far. I am going to test other games to confirm. Thank you very much for your help.

ATI Tool is the cause of the keyboard lag I have the leyboard lag problem too : when I play first person shooters (Far Cry, FEAR, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Half Life 2, Max Payne 2...), the following phenomenon occurs : when I stop pressing a movement key (W, S, A or D), sometimes, the...

OK, thanks.

Catalyst 6.4 works with ATI Tool 0.25 beta 14 ? It is a very interesting article. How did you make ATI Tool 0.25 beta 14 work with Catalyst 6.4 ? Indeed, I am forced to use Catalyst 6.3 version only since, with all newer versions (6.4 to 6.6), the GPU and memory clocks are automatically...

It is a good idea. I contacted them and I am waiting for a feedback.

Only the Catalyst 6.2 are said to be compatible with the X1900 series. So, if my problem is caused by this driver version, I won't be able to solve it. I already overclocked the CPU and RAM with the mach II GT : I obtained 3000 Mhz on an AMD X2 4400+ and the RAM OCZ ran at 255 Mhz, with a...

Unfortunately, I cannot choose the Mach II GT head temperature. But on nordichardware site, they managed to cool a X1900XTX with nitrogen and the temperature was below -40°C.

Hello, I installed my ASUS X1900XT and cooled it with a Mach II GT and I have the following problem : the PC boots normally, the screen is displayed but as soon as the Mach II head temperature reaches about -40°C, the screen becomes light blue. In the Catalyst 6.2, the temperature indicated...
