ATi X1950XTX Overclocking/Benchmarks

[JdPower]

try putting your ram on a divider just to be sure the memory or memory controller isnt whats stopping you then try to puch the cpu higher

How would i put my ram on a divider? Is it in the bios menu?

 

[JdPower]

I know the stock speeds that wasnt the answer I was looking for

well you had said that you dont have this clicked right look at pic well click it and close ATITool then open it then it should load with the 3D volts and clocks

Did what you said waiting for your advice...

 

[JdPower]

New clocks NOW!!!

I want more... lol

so 675 is what you got with stock volts I take it right?

take a pic of the volts so i can see where they are at then so I can see how much to move it

Here you go...

thats not 3D volts the VGPU is low that how mine is in 2D

do you have the 2d/3d checked in X1000 tab in settings?

 

[Sasqui]

Question - CAN you have CCC running with ATITool - or is the answer absolutely not. Wondering if CCC is loaded with lock on, will it work???

I have them both running at the same time

yes... its checked

 

[DOM]

yes... its checked

have you closed it then opened it back up ?

ATITool

 

[JdPower]

ATITool

Hahha opps. Its 1.425 for the VGPU my bad... I thought I closed it out...

so is that the volt you got 675 with?

 

[JdPower]

sure is...


PS Here is the link to the image I had

well im going to bed got a long drive in the moring

well im not going to be back untill wedsday

so set your VGPU and VDDCI to 1.5 and you should get 700+ on the core just make sure the temps are not to high, and no I dont know whats to high if you wanted to know ive asked before and never got an answer well good luck you should get more on the core

thanks for the image

Alright thanks for you help man... I'll try it and post back later. Have fun on that drive...

6hrs. is not fun

 

[JdPower]

6hrs. is not fun

Lol, well if your still up... I am at 688.50 on the core and highest temp I have seen is 63C.... Not sure If I want to continue with that temp!

 

[Beomagi]

63C on the core isnt bad - my x1900xt did way higher at stock.
something looks really wrong with those clocks and score



the cpu on mine is pentium D @ 4.35 - it contributes to a higher cpu score, but that shouldn't cause over 2k difference.

something may be drawing too much power - i used to have my cpu at 4.51GHz - that worked great, until I strted pushing the videocard. Then i started getting low scores. On dropping the cpu voltage and frequency, scores went back up.

I dunno what would be wrong? I might try to go back to 2.7 on the CPU with the volts at 1.50 and see what happens I guess

 

[Beomagi]

I don't think the tool is registering the clocks

I think the ccc is running (check background processes) and it's locked on 2d clocks - I get about 5k when my 2d clocks lock, and dont change when i do 3d that was happening to me if i openned ccc and i don't remember the details, but i do know if none of your components are beyond their limits, it's a possibility as my score when that occurred was in the ballpark.

 

[DaEnigma]

I must be doing some thing wrong... I can not set the speed of the memory or GPU higher without the whole system locking up and rebooting...


Is there a dummies guide to OC the X1950XTX ???

I am not new to overclocking but I have not overclocked since when I purchased my last video card which was a 9800XT so this seems new to me. I am using the newest 7.1 drivers and I have ATITool. If I try to se the speed manually I get a lock/reboot and if I try to find max I get the same but it does get to 720GPU then lock and reboot. If I try max for mem it locks up within about 15sec @ about 1066. Now if I go back into windows and set 715GPU and 1050Mem and click set the system just locks and reboots. I have not tried playing with voltage or mem timings as this is so new to me and there seems to be very little information out there about this card and overclocking.

Anyway here is my system specs:

What are you temps and do you have you fan at 100 percent? Do you have CCC running in the back ground? Try OC'ing with Overdriver first with fan at 100% then OC in ATI tool. Might work... try it out.

 

[JdPower]

Oh here are the new benchmarks...

 

[DaEnigma]

Ok I finally got it to work without crashing…

At stock speeds 2d idle the card is ~42c when in 3d idle it is at ~50c once in 3d mode I loaded 3DMark05 and ran the demo while logging temps and the max seems to be ~62c with fan speeds edited to ramp up much faster.

Now the question is should I change the GPU voltage once I hit a wall on GPU and what is a safe maximum voltage??

Also on the memory what is the max I should be able to hit and should I change these voltages once I hit a wall??

You can try raising the voltage up to max 1.5 no greater, and make sure it doesn't get tooo hot.
