Who has X1950pro?

L|NK|N · Nov 22, 2006

Just curious if anyone out there has or have had the X1950pro and what kinda OC results youve had and maybe some benchies for comparison. Thanx in advance. :toast:

Terenth · Nov 22, 2006

WELL i just recieved my powercolor 1950 pro, 256mb, 256 bit, 12 PP, 600/1400.

I must say it exceeded my expectations greatly, i had a x850 crossfire master with a x800gto slave and i achieved 9800 in 3dmark 05 at max stable overclock, i popped this 1!! card in left it stock and ran 3d mark and got 9008!!!!, also with those 2 cards i only scored abou 3300 on avrg in 3dmark06 , this 4600, sm3 really helps that out but still its only the 1 card.

I am however upset that it didnt come with the crossfire bridge as promised, quote "Due to a shortage of crossfire cable.." blah bla bla contact service with serial # to have one mailed.

I am planning on going crossfire, just trying to sell my x800gto, then i'll buy the same card and prolly have to have em mail me 2 crossfire bridges.

As for ocing well ive yet to scratch the surface but i think the core is "capped" off some how, it seems to ubruptly stop at 628 b4 a vpu recover, i think i will try disabling vpu recover cuz i think it "THINKS" im going dangerous so it stops it, im right now looking at ATI TOOL and doing an artifact scan its been running for 28.15 mins and is at 62 degrees celcius, not too bad, but it has an AC cooler and i think it has heatpipes but arent visible mine is rather silent too.

edit: forgot to mention im oced 621/1500 while doing this stress test, now 37 mins into the test and still only 62 degrees C

I'll let u know what other kinda benchmarks i get after ocing or if i can manage to go higher than 630 core...

heres the card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131027

have you tried rivatuner to raise the cards voltages???

Terenth · Nov 22, 2006

oh... no i havent i didnt know riva tuner can raise Volts on these..

micron · Nov 22, 2006

I don't think they have voltage adjustments. That's why I didn't buy one.

micron · Nov 22, 2006

@ Linkin, I'm in Oklahoma also, you should come to our lan party

Terenth · Nov 22, 2006

how did u up ur voltage on that gt?

With ATi Tray Tools or ATi Tool.

Now i know for sure that i am going to cancel the order on my Asus X1950 pro. Been waiting three weeks now.
I really expected to see some higher 3dmark 05 scores.
My X1900Gt goes higher then that on stock cooler.

In every review I've read, the X1950Pro is 2-3 frames quicker than the X1900GT by default. The drawback is that they dont overclock well, and reviews will back me up on this.

Without voltage adjustments, the GT's don't overclock well either. I got less than 50Mhz out of the core on my card before I pushed the voltage forward.

L|NK|N · Nov 22, 2006

@ Terenth: I ordered the same card Monday and am awaiting it patiently. :toast:

Do you have any updates on your luck and benchies?
@ Micron: Thats sweet! :toast:

Thanx for the invite!

Terenth · Nov 22, 2006

F^&*%^&*(K me i cant raise my voltages... wonder if i can flash this baby... LOL

mikek75 · Nov 23, 2006

This card is held back by the CPU IMO, stock I got 9350, upped my FSB to 225*11 and got 9999(I shit you not, 1 pt short of 10000). Never seen it top 66c either. Bleeding marvellous card for £130. :roll:

Post a link to your 3dmark05 score.

mikek75 · Nov 23, 2006

Dunno how to do that, does that work on the free version? I've no reason to lie, my real dick is much larger than my e one anyway.......

Terenth · Nov 23, 2006

wow wat are the specs on that card??? i cant get any higher than 9000... maybe my ram and cpu??? i have a amd athlon x2 3800+ 2.0ghz, running @ 2.5ghz... wtf...

Yes.

I wasn't insinuating that you were, I just wanted to compare my system against yours, and an ORB link will allow me to do that.

The memory might be the reason, I had a pair of 512 Crucial PC2700's when I first got the card and @stock got 8900 or so. Got some Crucial Ballistix PC3200 512's and the score went up to 9350 without altering anything else. Plus my CPU is a SanDiego with 1mb L2, maybe thats a factor too...

Its a Sapphire with 580/700 standard. When I got the 9999 it was at 621/760. Couldn't run SuperPi with my CPU at that speed though, failed on the third run.

Terenth · Nov 23, 2006

ya kno you could be right... i only have a cpu score of 4533.... i coulda sworn it was higher b4 but i cannot find any of my previous posts... i think ive got a setting messed up somewhere. anyway when my cpu score was about 4000, i scored 9000, i just got a score of 9313, with a cpu score of 4533, i messed with my ram a bit and superclocked my x2.. but its not prime 95 stable. anyway i gotta do some fine tweaking there is no reason why i should be scoring less than MICRON's cpu score other than i got shitty ram.

anyway all in all i think its the rest of my system holding my score back so OCING the card "which has proven itself almost usless to me" has show virtually NO effects on my 3d mark score

When I ran that 3dmark, I had my cpu @2.55Ghz.....I need to run it again with my cpu @2.67Ghz(where it's at now) but I'm too lazy. I just wanted to break 10K with a little 3000+ and I did.

micron · Nov 23, 2006

Well, 2.67 didnt fly, so I stuck it at 2.65 and it was pretty smooth. I also broke the top 10 for X1900GT's on 3dmark05 which is cool(for me).

Now my cpu score is 6,055.

Frick · Nov 23, 2006

I got like 7500 3dmarks 05.

Bottlenecks anyone?

Anyhow, I'll OC the hiney of my CPU next week and see how it does..

The fact that you have a single memory stick running in single channel may have something to do with your performance tho.

To damn right on that CPU unless you have it hugely overclocked, do you have 2 sticks of memory running in dual channel as your specs are not clear? with your CPU at stock you will probably only be utislising about 70% of the cards capabilities.

In the UK now I have seen 256MB 1900XT's for about £10 more than the 1950pro, wonder how the 2 compare, I have seen people in here with 256meg 1900XT's hitting 11000+ in 3D Mark 2005.

mikek75 · Nov 23, 2006

Just tried to repeat my 9999 score but for some reason couldn't get my rig stable @225, @220 I just got 9891. Trouble is, I don't know how to display thepage as this forum won't let me post a .jsp file. So you'll just have to take my word for it, unless someone wants to tell me how to do it!

Edit: Just sussed how to do it!!
