Calling all x1900xt or x1950xt owners

[Guest MadDias]

don´t use the "find max" in atitool.. it crashed on me every single time.

just try increasing the clocks for both core and mem 2-5mhz a time and run the artifact scan, everytime u set a new clock, for a couple of minutes (10mins or so), to check for artifacts (little yellow dots on that hairy cube).

does the x1950xt allow u to alternate voltages in atitool?

ok it says defult is 625/900

but its running 500/594

 

now if i hit the derfault tab and it set it to defaults and hit scan for Artifacts. it shuts down the pc soon as you hit it.

 

Im running the new 7.8 drivers. Im gonna go back the the drivers off the CD 7.1s and see if it still does that

[Guest MadDias]

umm.. maybe it´s because at "default" it is using default 2d voltages. so if ur going to overclock the core from 500 to 625 without increasing the voltage, it´s using for 2d clocks, it will crash immediatly.

can u change voltages on ur card?

I'm not I'm just trying to get it to run defaults

Don't no. were would i check

[Guest MadDias]

in the lower right corner of atitool is a "settings" button.

click on it and u can choose different options in the pull down menu.

one should be voltages

 

ur card is running defaults 625/900 when ur in full screen 3d mode.

how weird check this . out. OK uninstalled the 7.8 and installed the 7.1 off CD

I turn on the ATI tools off the CD and get this

 

 

Now out of the blue i turn on the ATI Dan said to use. And it comes on with the right defaults setting and then changes the other ATI tools to the right defaults. But upon rebooting it don't save settings and back to under clocked

 

 

MadDias I dont see no button

 

EDIT this one ?

 

[red930]

That looks like the right page, be sure to look up what voltages are okay for that card on stock cooling.

[red930]

I cant seam to find anything that states what the default voltages are. except one review were a guy put in on some place like egg and said his was locked at 500/500 too and showed the volts way under mine i tried them and the PC wouldn't even boot

http://www.omegadrivers.net/. The Omega drivers are Catalyst drivers that are tweaked for performance and quality by a former dev of ATI. I always found these to be the best when I had my x1900xt. It also comes with ATI Tray Tools which was created by the same guy Ray Adams. Always use ATI Tray Tools regardless if your using Omega or Catalyst drivers. Make sure to do a complete uninstall of all your drivers and CCC with Driver Cleaner Pro then reinstall your choice of drivers and ATI Tray Tools. DO NOT REINSTALL CCC! CCC stands for CRAP CRAP CRAP. Only install the drivers and ATI Tray Tools nothing else.

 

But I am having trouble installing and gettings to work this time too.. I have the X1950 PRO in as I bought this 32 samsung monitor (TV) I love the monitor for gaming just need to make it all work with Video card.. The BFG 7800 GTX didn't want to do what I wanted either.. I want SMALL or a small as I can get with good res. and I really dont like the 13??Xby 7?? it is just too big for me and WOW..

 

So try again I guess.. Uninstall everything again then I will try again to install it but I have been having uninstall and reinstall problems like it is just not getting it all uninstalled or something..

if you think 1368x768 or whatever res those LCD tv's are in, your only choice is to get an LCD that does a native resolution of 1024x768 (good luck, those are hard to find), or go back to a CRT monitor.

 

a lot of times that particular resolution isn't a 'natural resolution' so you have to tell your vid card to do TV-out, and then it will usually give you the most common tv resolutions (720x480 or 480P, 1280x720 or 720p, 1920x1200 or 1080i/p, or 1360x768 or whatever that odd resolution is that I see advertised on a shitload of LCD tv's (not monitors)).
