Ok here is some news. I bought moddable COnnect X800gto to @ 16p.
Here are some scores:


16p 550\1100- 3dmark 05




16p 550\1000-3dmark 03

16p 550\1000-3dmark 03

what CPU you have?? that score are not very good , maybe something wrong wiht driveres i hit 6608k- 3dmark 2005(560/560)///6891(560/575) and 13659 3dmark 2003 (560/560)
try run 3mark 2005 with(560/560) and see what your score, maybe im wrong.

3dmark 2005(560/560) catalyst 5.9 >>




3dmark 2005(560/575) omega 5.9 >>




3dmark 2003 (560/560) catalyst 5.9 >>

Keep in mind, once a card is overclocked too far, scores will decrease. And those scores look fine.

 

[sew333]

550\1100
3dm 05



550\1000
3dm 03


i have catalyst 5.11
Cpu: Athlon 3000+ (1,8ghz)
But when i was changed my Nvidia to this C3Dx800gto, i dont formatted disk. Maybe this scores ,are from this.
But hmmm, i have only 300points low in 3dm05 than you mascaras.You have 560\560 i have 550\550.
Maybe i must overclock like you to 560.

DanishDevil look , my scores are good or i must change the clocks down?Screens are up.

 

[mascaras]

yep , i change from a 6600gt too , but i formated my hard drive when i instal x800

 

[Dynamic]

No, the reason why some users here have a higher score then others, is because of the CPU/RAM overclocks. I probably would of gotten a score similar to yours around 63xx but i have my CPU "3000+ @2.43g" and my ram "DDR400 @DDR441 2225-1T", so i would have a slightly higher score then normal.

 

[Dynamic]

mascaras,
So you got a WC system on your GPU. Now what about your memory? What are you using to cool down the memory modules on your GTO?

 

[mascaras]

i have that scores with 3200venice@2500mhz and my ram ddr400@cl2-2-2-5 1T , the 3dmark 2005 score has almost nothing to do with CPU or RAM only 3dmark 2001 and 2003 have diference with computers OC . The GTO memorys im using 8 ramsinks of the zalman vf700

I'm having trouble with my start up disc, I get this each time I boot from floppy:

Invalid setting in the MSDOS.SYS file: ---------
Starting...

Type the name of the command interpreter (e.g., C:/WINDOWS/COMMAND.COM)
A>_

I used the 'create Msdos start up disc' in windows but I get the above message every time. What can I do about it?

Also when I ran 3dmark05 on a clean install of everything I get a score of 4491 which to me seems very low. My system is:

(everything is running at stock speeds)
Win XP Pro SP2
Direct X 9.0C
Cat5.10
P4 640 3.2Ghz Socket 775 800fsb 2mb cache
Gigabyte GA-8GPNXP-DUO PCIe mainboard
Connect3D Radeon X800 GTO
Audigy 2 sound
Maxtor 80Gb 7200 ATA/133 HDD
Antec True blue 480W PSU
1GB Twinmoss PC3200 RAM

Also when I use ATI tool to find max core, I get errors at 440Mhz which I find very dissapointing after seeing most people reach in excess of 500Mhz
Any help appreciated...

you have to format the flopy disk first , then create a msdos flopy you cant compare your 3dmark score with ours 3dmark scores while you dont unlock the pipelines cause this scores are with the MOD already done .

 

[sew333]

You must manually change the clocks of the card. The automatic max core or memory is not good. I have the error in 440 core. BUt when i change manually to 550 i have no errors.
Just manually change and test for artifacts.

 

[dr.bling]

Yes, put them in the same folder. If you aren't too familiar with DOS, don't put them in a folder on the disk, just put them in A:\ Also make sure you give the bios file a short name, like x800gto.bin or something like that (the part before the period must be 8 characters or less). Be sure to save your original bios, too. The command would be something like

flashrom -s 0 oldbios.bin

Or you can just save a backup of it by using the dump bios feature of ATITool.

There is a chance you may get artifacts with the unlocked pipelines, but I think it is very unlikely.

first time poster. i got the connect 3d gto card but dont have a floppy drive and cannot figure out how to make a cdrw bootable, above you say to just put the files in a:/, is that the hard drive ? and load them from that without booting into dos ? if someone wants to take the time to give me step by step instructions to flash my bios it would be greatly appreciated as i am dos iliterate.

 

[sew333]

I have a question. Test artifacts in ATITOOL is better than 3dmarks ?
I have running ARtifact test for 1:30:00 H and no errors, so i must check 3dmark 03,05 too for stability or not?

 

[DanishDevil]

I would check stability with 3dmark, yes.

 

[VTwedge]

any ideas about this?

have my c3d gto modded for a month now and i have it running at 520/520 completely stable. i was experimenting a bit this week and i flashed the xt bios on it. while i had the original bios i was running stable 520/520 however with the xt bios i couldn't even run 500/500 it was causing random lockaps in games and in 3d mark. any idea why i can run 520/520 with my c3d bios modded to 16pipes and only 500/500 with the xt bios?

 

[VTwedge]

oh and another

as for maskaras's saying that 3d mark 05 doesn't take into account the cpu or ram your sorely mistaken my friend cause i run my card on 2 processor settings one was 1.8 ghz on my sempron 3100 and the other was when i overclocked it to 2.25ghm and it gave me 300 points more on 3dmark 2005 so there ya go.

 

[BlackPearl]

VTwedge - did you flash with an XT bios for 2.0 ns memory (like the Powercolor)?

 

[VTwedge]

yeap flashed the powercolor x800xt bios, been running my own bios now with 16 pipes at 520/520 after i flashed it again over the powercolor x800xt bios and been benchmarking and playing nfsmw for 3 hours and its rock stable, when i had the x800xt bios at 500/500 it was unstable...weird huh?
