you could checkout the hd2k clubhouse they might have more use for it

Sorry for resurrecting the dead thread , but I want to ask are there a new bios for sapphire 2600xt ddr3 version , and does have a fix of powerplay options.
Is there some program for control of fan ,becouse , i can't find a one that work.
Sorry for my bad En.

can't help you with the bios
but atitool worked for my xpertvision hd2600xt

Does somebody know , does work with card's like mine , because mine did't work , and the fan work like usual.

 

[pt]

wich ati tool version you're using?

 

[garsona]

I use 0.27 beta 4 , does she is latest , or have a new version ?

 

[pt]

I use 0.26 beta 4 , does she is latest , or have a new version ?

when i had the card i used beta 3, never used beta 4 with it, but with beta 4 you're supposed to be able to oc with atitool

 

[garsona]

Yup i overclock with b4 successful , but the fan didn't regulate with any program , do you have a decision , how i can control FAN ?

besides asking w1z for help i have no idea
myabe rivatuner or atitraytools

how far should i go with my HIS 2600 XT 512 AGP? Its IceQ Turbo ed so it has bad-ass cooler and its pre OCd..dunno how much should i push it more?

specs are now : Graphics chip / GPU

Clock frequency 820 MHz

Memory Capacity 512 MB

Type GDDR3

Clock frequency 1460 MHz

I have played games fine without more OCing.

Memory bandwidth 128 Bit

 

[pt]

what's the mem chips in it?
(if you can see them)

 

[Saakki]

unluckily im not at my own rig right now cause im on holiday but will check it as i get back home but i think its this one ..is a PCI-e versions RAM chip but otherways it is a same card ..

edit*whoopsie daisy thats 256 models ram chip..cant find 512 from web..mhh not that importante..just asking..

Hey guys, I recently installed my HD2600XT in my computer and i'm now having some issues. Before popping it in i applied some AS5 to aid cooling and once installed i fiddled around with RivaTuner and ATI Tool to try and tweak out some more performance from my card. Everything was fine for about a week and a half, but now my screen is shuddering/shaking. It started out as something i could barely notice, but now whenever i'm playing games or even right now typing this post i can notice a constant shudder of the text. I reverted all of the clock timings back to factory default and the issue still persists. Does it seem like i've shot my card by tweaking it, or by messing up on the AS5 application? I dont know how i messed up applying the grease, I've done it before on numerous occasions so i dont think that is the problem. If anybody can offer me some insight that would be great. Thank you.

here is my asus 2600xt clocked up and just breaking the 12k barrier not bad considering mobo holding the cpu overclocking back wish my core would go further rather than just going dodgey... screen going grey when 870 is hit lol memory isnt to bad but all on stock cooling so far

Hey guys, I've been reading this thread and found a lot of usefull stuff! But its all about the scores so....

5919 in 3D Mark 06 guess that gets me second place.

I used an Sapphire 2600 XT gddr 3 version voltmodded. Clock speeds 1000/1000! (gets a bit hot cause its still on stock cooler)

My system specs:
e2180 3.2Ghz
4096 DDR2 800Mhz
Asus P5K
Sapphire HD 2600 XT
Antec NSK4480B
Vista Ultimate x64

ok, gonna add it later, sleep time

 

[mvdbeld]

Little problem

the only way I can set core clock speeds beyond 860 is AMD Gpuclock tool but when I do this windows won't shutdown properly? Anyone got suggestions? I got 950/1050 stable on stockcooler with 5858 3D Marks 06. The temp are quite good aswell now, won't go higher then 80 C degrees (Stockcooler).

I also tried flashing the bios but when I flash the bios above 860 the clock speed will go down instead of up.

I have some information that might be usefull towards some of you guys. I did a 2600Pro contest a while ago, and kicked the cards ass at 1140MHz core, 830MHz memory and 2.15V vcore rofl.

There's a way to booster-mod your card. Please note that this is a picture taken from the Peak 2600Pro 256MB card, and other brands may differ. It'll allows you to fuel the card with more then the default 75watts that your PCI-express slot deliveres :

You should measure out these points before doing this. It'll increase the amount of Amps your Motherboard can maximum deliver. It's really handy when your going at 1000MHz or higher.

You can also remove the original capacitors, and use ones with a higher value for a better stabilized voltage at higher frequencies.

That was my card, with still the original caps on the card. If your going to use a huge cooler be sure to check first wether you solder 'm on the above side or the other side, cause a vf900 would fit anymore after replacing them. I had to solder them on the back on the card (reverse the caps if your going todo )

The following picture nicely demonstrates on how far i went on my card:

Boostermod, Voltmod, A vapochill and ofcourse some fresh tweak-spirit

Yep.. the pretesting. Only problem was after this testing the card went dead.

Nice MS-Dos cursor lol.

Keep in mind that ocíng beyond a GHz with the core is going to cause serious short-life-time issues with this card. I happend to reach up to 2.15V Vcore and a 1140MHz stable core. 1200MHz would really happend if that Vapochill, or whatever did'nt kill the card somehow. It would be 100% overclock.

Hey all.

I did a little VMod back in december to 1.35/2V from 1.23/1.78.
Freq: 960/1120

Here are the results from then:
3dMark05: 13.353
3dMark06: 6.189

My card Started out at 700 Core 700/1400 Mem, and I was able to get it stable at 800 core 800 Mem using Riva Tuner. HIS actually tries to put a lock on the frequencies and it denies Catalyst from doing any OCing.

 

[cYou]

it works if u clock it straight to 884 or 904...

Well, when i do that on atitool, it goes to 30 mhz , instead of 904. it goes down

im running on 857/1269 with a 2600xt ddr4

 

[JrRacinFan]

All I know is that I love my pair of cards that are not voltmodded in anyway. But I plan on looking into when i get my second vf900, so far one has stock cooling. Sorry no screenshots but they are at 700/500 in this run:

[cYou]

i can get to the 900 with amd gpuclocktool, bud i cant get higher then 1142mhz with the memory, bud the atitool and rivatuner i cant get to the 900 and i can get to the 1269 with my memory =S

Hi all, I have asus ati 2400 mobile, 128mb ddr2, 64bit, default clocks gpu:450, mem:400 and now i'm on gpu:567 and mem: 567 too.

I just have few issues/questions:
1. why overclocking works only on amd gpu overclocking? when I try to overclock on atitool, I move slider up, and press apply, but it returns back to default clock position, on ati tray tool same thing.
2. why I can't dump my video bios? ati tool, says: Could not load bios from card.
3. ati power play states look a bit weird:

4. what is UVD?
Thank you!

 

[nohomo]

ok, now I'm on gpu: 650, mem: 550, with higher memory clock system seems unstable
