I recently got the AGP HIS X1950 256MB Pro ICEQ3 Turbo thingy, to support the Dell 3007WFP 30" 2560x1600 res monitor in my old system. 3Dmark06 and Aquamark ran fine. Far Cry and Oblivion were crashing the graphics if I went over 1200x800 res. My PSU was Antec 380W (18A on 12v rail).
so I replaced with Corsair HX520W (40A shared on triple 12v rails, nominally rated at 18A each). Seems a little more stable, but still getting crashes if I go over 1200x800 in Far Cry or Oblivion
X1950 is powered by single PCI-E 6 pin power connector from one rail on PSU. I'll try changing that to the 2 molex into one PCI-E power lead I got, and connect each molex from a different PSU 12v rail.
Also need to try clean re-install of ATI drivers. Won't vote till I have checked out all possibilities.
System specs:
P4C Northwood 2.8GHz (OC 20% to 3.36GHz), Zalman CuAl cooler
1GB OZC dual channel DDR memory (FSB OC 20% to 960MHz)
Asus P4C800E-Deluxe mobo
Antec Sonata case
Corsair HX520W PSU
2 x HDD
1 x FDD
1 x DVD-ROM
1 x DVD-RW
