Well since i cant get crossfire to work I need to get rid of this card fast. Its just a bare card with the AC Accelero and 1 New HIS Crossfire bridge.

$130 + Shipping in the US

Notice the missing heatsinks for the VRM.

hello guys i bought x1950 pro a few weeks back and i got to admit this card is the best i have ever had but my stock clocks are a bit less than what u guys get (gpu-573 mem-1363) and was wondering is there i way the flash my card with a new bios with clocks about gpu-620 mem-1400 without using a floppy drive cause i dont have 1. i read at the beginin of the nthread that someone did it with a boot cd and would that work for me???

really would like your thoughts thanks

You will have to raise your Voltages to even get that overclock.

Processor might explain something -_-

Garb3 · May 6, 2007

are the vrm's just above the pulse chip? :confused:

edit: on a different not when i oc my card at driver level with atitool then put the furry cube on after like 30secs or so i get a vpu recovery error does that mean that its not stable at the clocks i put it at

hey all, im a new proud owner of a x1950, and i thought here would be a great place to get some advice, ive owned alot of gfx cards, mx440, ti4400, fx5600, 9200, 9600, 9800, 6600 and 6800 to name a few, and i was heavily into modding (bios, cooling, clocking) my 6800 ultra back in the day, but i lack ati modding exp, which is why im here.

i own a Sapphire radeon X1950PRO AGP 512 GDDR3

as we all know the stock cooler is .... well not even worth words.

so far i have affixed a Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 (with arctic silver 5), the ramsinks, and ramsinks to the VRM's with Artic Silver thermal Adhesive.

so far no combination of drivers and/or ati tool has heeded any overclock, not even 1 mhz before big artifact's and system crashes.

while the card was apart i noticed the ram specification " K4J52324QC-BJ11 "

which ive reasearched to be 1.1ns (duh!) and capable of 1800 mhz, yet the card comes with the stock conservative clock of 1400 mhz.

i know bios modding is out there, but i only have nvidia experience, and i wanted a helping hand with maybe a new bios for the card, with 1.1 ns timings, and hopefully a little more core voltage (1.3 is low!) 1.4 or 1.5 would be great, with the zalman on, the card hardly tops 50 degrees C with the cooler on medium, so i feel theres a fair amount of headroom, at least heat wise, and with the ram set 400mhz underclocked, hopefully some headroom there.

any help appreciated, thanx in advance.

P.s. the x1950pro was a huge upgrade from the old agp king the 6800U, id say double. that is the 6800 was the king till the x800/850

and if joining the clubhouse is necisary, i would be happy to post pics of my system and update my profile.

Welcome Wolf! What are you trying to OC with? Catalyst is useless. This is what I do:
I only install the drivers (newest 7.4's work for me), I use ATi Tool .27b. be sure to tick "Use driver level overclocking" under the x1000 overclocking in settings. Then you should be able to OC in 7mhz increments. You should be able to get at least 620 out of the gpu and you memory just under 1500 mabye, im not too sure on the 512mb models. Btw what are your temps?

Garb3 · May 7, 2007

heres some better detailed pics from a review(camra is pants):shadedshu

Dude that looks like a sweet cooler!? Can you take a pick of the front and back of it?

Garb3 · May 7, 2007

there just above but not in so much detail camara i got at me student digs is pants

edit: it only cools the core and not the ram thats why i ordered an accelero x2

erocker · May 7, 2007

Lol spoke too soon! It looks pretty good other than the fan. If you could find a better replacement fan to put in that think + lap the heatsink I think it would work better than a zalman. Especially if it cools the mem and vrm's as well.
*edit No it doesn't.

Garb3 · May 7, 2007

u told wolf to use ati tool .27 beta, i was using that to overclock me card but couldnt break past 615/720 without it crashing :cry:

. but now i'm using overdrive and i'm at 621/790 :rockout:

and i got a 3dmark06 score of 5134

Garb3 · May 7, 2007

i did have a zalman cooler but i gave it to me mam

cause i was reading thu this thread and people were frowning on them :eek:

so i just stuck to the stock cooler that i got with it :ohwell:

ive tried catalyst 7.1 thru 7.4 and ati tool 0.26 upwards but not all combinations thereof i guess.

temps are 34-37 C idle and 48-50 load, i',m very happy with these temps as the stock cooler was crap( and its my third zalman, love their products! ), although to anyone with a stocker sapphire, just bump the fan up to 80-100% constant, i used 80, takes the edge off the noise, and kept about 10 degrees off the top of load temps (65-70, as oppose to 75-80), but i only ran it for 4 days before buying a cooler.

im also very glad i read the first page of this thread first too, cos those voltage chips, even with ramsinks on, still get warm.

ill try that ati tool with 7.4 drivers.

but mainly im hugely interested in this 1.1 ns ram they equipped my card with, from what i understand i should change the memory timings in a bios i dump, then flash the card, i just dont want to dive into the deep end without some guidance. cos if i can get the mem speeds from 1400 to 1800, hell thats about another 10 g/ps memory bandwith.

also, whats the little square chip on the reverse of the card? right down low near the agp port? my guess is RIALTO but it seems pci-e cards mite have it too, in any case, that gets quite warm, should i heatsink it too?

pics soon to follow, jsut gotta resize and upload them, but i have tafe now, so ill do it tonight.

wolf · May 8, 2007

used ati tool 0.27b with driver level oc and have 600/1485 stable, but i know at least the memory has alot more in it, and ima want more VCORE to get higher core o/c

ooh and piccies.

so can i be in this most prestigious of clubs?

Garb3 · May 8, 2007

i think yer need to clean the dust off yer cpu heatsink :slap:

lol

edit: take some pics after yer have cleaned it and sorted the cables out

wolf · May 8, 2007

yer tonite while i had nothing better to do i did a bit of cable management and dusting lol, i think i inhaled about 3 years worth of hardcore gaming

god bless compressed air in a can, oh and zipties too, iunno where i'd be without them today.

Garb3 · May 9, 2007

would the sapphire 6.12 drivers work for my msi card or are they brand specific?? i only ask cause a couple of pages bk tk was sayin they are the best drivers to run a x1950 on??

tkpenalty · May 9, 2007

They will work, they are the SAME thing. The CD drivers are just redistributeable drivers that AMD sends to AIBs to put into the CDs. 6.9 Drivers provide the best performance overall. NFS:C sees like almost doubling of framerate.

wolf · May 9, 2007

alrite, heres some updated pics of my pc and card after the dusting and a bit more cable management, also got a snap of the card while it was outside the comp, still waiting on any advice about my 1.1 ns ram....and wether im in the club!

look at the pic and tell me if i have adequate VRM cooling too, aws.

cheers. wolf.
