sorry for being a post whore but we posted at the same time

Cleeve thats how it came out of the box, atitools doesnt reconize the card yet.

according to a mod over in there forums i ahve to wait till .25 comes out or venture into beta software :roll:

So it's factory OCd to be as fast as the X1800 XL... interesting.

Which manufacturer?

That's really impressive... I bet these buggers might almost reach X1800 XT speeds with enough OC juice...

 

[macer1]

sapphire is the maker


i got another one for you, note its oc on a beta ATItool and this was the best oc i could get due to this

7719 im impressed

570.38 core
585.00 memory



old 3dmark was done with this clock setting " 7191

573 core
549 memory



so an increase in the memory by 36 mhz increases the score 528 points

cant wait till they improve atitool and release 0.25 to the public.

 

[macer1]

this cards on steriods, im impressed.

cant wait to unlock the other 4 pipes

*.* hope i can, the results so fare make me think this is possible .*


could this be a x1800xt core


can someone PLEASE find me the core lists that they use for the x1000 series

 

[cleeve]

All X1800's are the same core... X1800 XL, X1800 XT, and X1800 GTO.

The only difference is that in the GTO's, four of the 16 pipelines have been disabled. (and of course, they are sold at different clockspeeds).

The disabled pipelines may be damaged, no way to tell until you unlock them because they aren't being used.

Sapphire, eh? Well, if all their cards are clocked like this, there will be some happy campers out there...

 

[angry_ducky]

Still completely clueless as to how a GTO would get what is essentially the same score though.

It probably isnt.

I cant waite untill I get my Athlon64 in a couple of weeks, I cant break 7k with a socket A :roll:

Mine (3700+ Sandy) should arrive in 2-3 days, but I'll be on vacation (Montreal). So I'll have a new heatsink for my X600 and a P4 killer CPU. I'm hoping that with a little CPU overclocking and a lot of GPU overclocking I can break 3k and have the highest X600 score Are you running Vista, BTW?

 

[illicitsc]

is there any software to control vcore and vdimm on the vcards without pencil modding?

ATI Tool has voltage control for X1800 series cards. So yours should work. Download the 0.25 beta version HERE

 

[illicitsc]

ok i've been on some forums and some ppl say that they get a black screen when they hit a certain voltage o nthe vcore. so how dangerous is this? will the videocard just reset to stock on reboot and everything will be back to normal so u can try again?

 

[cleeve]

ATItool doesn't change the voltage in the BIOS, so yeah, a reboot should fix it (unless they were stupid enough to set ATItool to apply that voltage on reboot before testing it)

 

[illicitsc]

um where can i change voltage using atitool... cant find it..

 

[cleeve]

1. Open ATItool

2. Click settinghs button on bottom right

3. Click Voltage control from the drop-down menu.

 

[illicitsc]

hmm im using .25beta and wat do u kno.. no voltage lol.. dam beta. any news on when the stable version is coming out?

 

[cleeve]

What card are you using it on? The voltage settings will only work on an Ati X1x00 card... your sig says you have a 6600?

 

[macer1]

sorry Cleeve but im also haveing the same problem, there is no volt option

 

[illicitsc]

is there any other utility i can use to up voltage on thsi 6600gt?

 

[cleeve]

The Radeon X1x00 series are the only software volt-moddable cards out there.

You can't do it with a Geforce or older radeons. You have to short bridges on the card for that.

 

[illicitsc]

dam, the 7900gt mods look so tempting

 

[illicitsc]

anywyas found an artilcle on VR for 6600gt pencil mods and i did that, got the core to 590 and but max stable mem was 1240. the bottle neck aint so much the core now its the mem. i noticed that if i ignored artifacts and went to 1300, 3dmark 05 is a bit higher

 

[illicitsc]

o ya, is it possible that artifacts can appear even if i have enough voltage but heat is a problem?

 

[cleeve]

Artifacts can come from heat, or simply higher clockspeeds than the chip can handle.

But the cooler you can get it, the faster it'll go without artifacts (until the chip hit's the 'wall'... where temp doesn't matter anymore and it can't go any faster)

 

[illicitsc]

im planning on modding my card by putting my stock athlon 64 hsf onto my 6600 lol. and getting a zalman. im too noob to solder since im only 16 so i have resorted to pencil modding. i also noticed that only so much graphite will stay on the resistor, and that puting a sticker ontop to cover the graphite lowers voltage.

I'm planning on modding my card by putting my dead P4's hsf onto my X600 and keeping the stock hsf for my new A64.

Okay as for the x1800GTO ... I've been reading around and i -think- You can't unlock the extra 4 pipelines on saphire cards .. ( http://www.ocworkbench.com/ocwb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/24/1934.html )

So i orderd my Connect3d X1800GTO, a new fan (Arctic cooling x2 or something), new power supply (450w Minimum 😵) It -should- arrive tommorow so i'll keep you guys informed as to overclocking & benchmarks.
