HIS Cards seem to be problematic for some odd reason as Widjaja stated... I dont know what would cause them to do this. X1950PRO AGP Owners, tell me if the 7.9 Drivers work for you.

However if 7.9s dont work for you I suggest using 7.6 Drivers instead.

I wonder if it's to do with the Rialto Bridge chipset.
When extracting my VGA BIOS there were two.
One R570 and one with Rialto at the end.
For some reason the card wouldn't let me extract the Rialto BIOS, instead my rig would freeze up and reboot.

I wondering if there is a difference in the Rialto BIOS in the HIS X1950pro agp cards.

Who knows we'll have to wait and see I guess.

I am running 7.6 ATM not game to try changing to 7.9. Last time I changed drivers around I ended up RMA'ing my card.

Craigleberry, last time the problems began before you changed the drivers, have a shot at the 7.9 Drivers...

I can understand you in being apprehensive about installing these drivers.
I guess you could make a thread to see if there is anyone out there using 7.9cat with your card or any HIS X1950 AGP card for that matter.

Didn't your last card go bung with the 7.7 drivers?
I think rangerone's card is the same as yours and has no luck with the 7.9's ethier.

I think it has to do with the Rialto bridge chipset.

No, the 7.9 drivers didn't work for me (no icons on desktop!), fingers crossed they'll have sorted agp with 7.10.

I just installed an Accelero x2 which came with a 'vr heat spreader module'. I didn't need to use it, I guess its for differently designed models, but would it do a better job than the stock heatsink? The plate covers the big chip at the bottom that the stock sink doesn't. :confused:

From what Rangerone has found out, the BETA 7.10 does work for HIS AGP.
So the final 7.10cat should work for your card.

Do you know where the VRM's are on your card?
They should be at the PCI-E connector end and relativley small.
I read something about your card already having a copper plate over the VRMs.

I don't know what the Accelero VR plate is made from possibly aluminium but I'm guessing the HIS one would be better at dispersing heat as its copper.

Anway even you stock cooler pwns my rev1 Sapphire ref cooler.
Sometimes getting up to 82deg and thats normal, no issues so far though.

Anyone.
Does the X1950pro AGP only have 8 pixel pipelines?
If so then my 7600GS has 4 more?

Aar good news about the 7.10's. :)

Yes, the accelero plate is made of aluminium, so i'll leave the original copper sink alone, cheers.

The stock cooler (iceq3) had a slight rattle when I first got it, which got worse and developed into a horrible grinding. (Even after taking it apart and cleaning it) Maybe I just got a bad one... But the Accelero X2 is great, a few degrees cooler and SO much quieter.

Dude your'e not the only one.
I was at another forum where someone posted a thread about his HIS IceQ3 cooler making a continuous rattling sound even if the fan sped up it would stay the same, so your'e not the only one which that issue.

Pity, those HIS coolers look the bling:p.

My card plays somegames with irritating stutters or pauses when loading textures to the vram, which is my only gripe with it.
Always done this with drivers 7.1 to 7.10 minus 7.7 & 7.8.

My last card ran like a charm with 7.7 then..... I came home from work to discover that it had mega artifacts and after removing 7.7 I ended up having to RMA.
I think you may be on to something with your rialto chipset theory.

Ahh I see.
Not much help aye?:rolleyes:
Won't be going back there anytime soon.
I've come across many forums like that.
This is one of the more social sites.

7.10 BETA worked for Rangerone with his HIS X1950pro IceQ3 AGP so you can either giver those a go or wait till the finialized 7.10 come out which won't be long at all.

With the 7.9's I had a increase in all benchmarks.
3Dmark 05 went up the most from 10012 to 10039 so nothing significant and niether in gaming.

meh . . . just grab an old GM A-12 AC compressor, some kind of powerful DC motor, a 4" evaporator and rig the thing to the front of your case. It'll keep EVERYTHING a nice and chilly -1C without breaking a sweat. Oh, and remove the back of your case if you want it to cool your room also :D


It'll be loud, though . . .
