Guys have the X1950XT owners or any X1950 owners increased the Voltage on the card along with the OC ?

A hint if I may, try dropping the MVDDQ to say 2.175, that often allows for a little more overclock on the memory if you are rasing the MVDDC, at worst it will give you a drop in temps....it always worked on my 1800XT and whatever card the principle remains the same, just dont get too carried away lowering it!

Providing you dont drop below 2.150 you will be fine.

Oh hey btw, how tall is the X1950XT's standard cooler? W1zzard said that it was 7cm tall... um is it just me or was it a typo?

Btw, to get a huuuuge performance gain in popular games like Company of Heroes, get the XG Warcat Drivers.

Got myself a sweet little X1950XT 256MB Powercolor. Didn't think I'd motice any bigger difference by switching from a X1800XT, but boy was I wrong :3 Let's see how many months this little baby will stay in this PC. I bet about 12 months exactly.

OCed only through CCC so far, too.. 662/936

It's cooler then my X1800XT thankfully (with stock cooler >_> X1800XT had a VF900-CU). The bad thing I have noticed tho is that this one can go as far as 90C in absolute full load.

My MVDDC stock is @ 2.083V (I Have the X1950XTX 512mb)

? Is that safe or...?

You can drop it to 2.00 at worst it will lower your temps, at best it will give you upto 30Mhz more on the memory but if not overclocking the card dont bother.

I got 900Mhz outta my 1800XT memory but I never could get it above 870 until I lowered MVDDQ, it also lowered my idle temps (because I raised GPU volts significantly) by 7-8C :D

You just have to play around in small increments to get the right balance but if you lower too much you will get BSOD but to be extra safe make sure you disable "load alternative startup deamon" in ATI tool so when you reboot it resets and therfore no problems, when you get it right it's sweet and you can then enable startup again in ATI tool otherwise you may have difficulty recovering it on startup if it remains enabled......make sense?

If anyone is raising GPU/memory volts significantly I can recommend an 80MM fan blowing on the back of the PCB/card, I mounted one on my CPU heatsink, just put screws on the corner of the fan bracket/frame and they slide quite tightly into the fins of the CPU cooler, depending on the size of your CPU cooler the fan will be about 8-10CM away from the back of Gfx card, it helps with surface temps nicely and can also lower overall temps by a little.

first,hello,
i got a powercolor x1950xtx since two days.before i owned a x800xt pe agp which is not quiete bad and i miss the atitool.

first question:is it normal that ati overdrive show me a clockspeed of 500 instead of 650 in 2d/idle mode?

does it raise in 3d and how can i supervise that?

thx and regards


my card in my shuttle sn26

u can use ATITool 0.26 is the latest

and yes it shows its at 2D and it goes to 3D when its needed

which driver is mostly redcomended?i tried diffrent driver,now i use the omega drivers.is there anyone who had compare the omega driver vs. the warcat driver,so i dont have to do it?:)

my card needs to run best at bf2 and the original drivers work very poor.

ps,first i thought they send me a brick instead of a graficcard.rememder that i used x800 agp before:laugh:

The XG drivers are better than the standard ATI ones and almost the same with the Omega....Plus XG has x64 support while OMEGA doesnt...

I beleive the Omega drivers are more focused on improving IQ, the Warcat are more cemtered on improving performance (speed).

Yeh.... the warcat drivers gave my 9550 @ 520/280mhz (I flashed it to 360/250 stock, lol, it still runs cool at those stock clocks with AS5) a huuuuge boost in performance. No more stuttery gameplay and everything ran like a dream. Then when I got my X1950PRO the definition of "a dream" changed. I would not touch the omega drivers if you are using a low-end GPU because the IQ does drag down performance. Warcat as tatty said are for speed and perfromance, they re-write the AA method to be much much better than the standard ATI method. Same with the AF IQ, except its sort of less advanced as the Omega drivers.

ATI Tool will not work for GPUs with the crossfire bridge interlink (just to make it sound cool).
Just use CCC now (Meanwhile, he dremels one of his PCI-E 4x slots in preperation to use his X1950PRO as a physics card).

Btw, anyone with a crossfire setup in this club, try using one of the GPUs for physics and one for graphics, then do a 3DMark 06 benchmark.
What load temps do you guys get with your X1950PROs btw?
