Hi all im new here
the Topic Says It All

i got a CONNECT3D X1900XT 512MB with ZALMAN VF900-CU on it...
now i just wanna know what are the 2D and 3D CORE and MEMORY clocks of X1950XT...?
and what is the best program to use this over clock...
i just wanna hit the exact CORE and MEMORY clocks of X1950XT..(for now...)

plz help me out...peaceeee

Hi!
There is no 512MB version of X1950XT, its only the XTX version that has that amount of memory, and its XTX memory at 2000MHz the core at 650MHz, and the XT memory runs with 1800MHz and the core runs with 625MHz

2D clocks are the same for the x1950 xt and x1900 xtx.Getting the memory to 1800 will require some extreme voltage.But should be possible without too much damage.
The x1950 xt is basically x1900 xt 256mb cards with boosted memory speeds.
3D clocks for the x1950 xt is 625 core and 1800 mem.(900)

Can i OC it to X1950XT with ATI OVERDRIVE?or i better use ATI TOOLS?
also noticed something wierd in ati tools...my card is on default clocks didnt toched it yet...i noticed that in ati tools in "REST" i get like 40C...but when i do the 3D view with that heiry cube it get hot up till 75-80C !!!
my zalman on it work "FULL ON" speed....is it normal?
it cant be that all this time i have this card and played alot of games with it on 75-80C?!?(WITOUT a single OC).

wth?

Chaos

Whay not use the tool that comes from ATI that can be found in this thread

It gives fan speed control as well as clock speeds and voltages

Chaos

those temps are normal well under load

OK grabed the OC program...it show this info:
ENGINE SETTINGS
MOD 2D :
CORE CLOCK : 499.50
CORE VOLT : 1.200
MEMORY SETTINGS
MEMORY CLOCK : 594.00
CORE VOLT : 2.10
MOD : 3D
ENGINE SETTINGS
CORE CLOCK : 621.00
CORE VOLT : 1.200
MEMORY SETTINGS
CORE CLOCK : 720.00
CORE VOLT : 2.10

Now plz tell me where to put the X1950XT clocks...and what volts to use...remind you folks i have X1900XT
(major newbie in gfx oc)

HoLy4EvEr

i tried to Oc it a bit with ATI TOOLS...
VGPU : 1.425
all other Volt are default....
here is a screen...i dont know what to say about the TEMP im scared!
82C and it will go till about 84C i think....
(FULL ON FAN SPEED ZALMAN VF900-CU)

guys need your help...what to do....

Considering teh X1950 uses totally different memory, it doesnt matter if you clock it the same its still not gonna get the same performance. You can soft mod the drivers in windows to the X1950 and give a slight OC maybe you will get lucky and get like 700+ core and 800 something on memory @ 1.475 or even 1.45v if your using stock cooler for the X1900 series and no modifications dont expect too much from it. The X1950 XTX has only about a 5% increase on performance over the X1900XTX which really isnt to spectacular, and the X1900s especiially get hot unless youve done some sort of mods for cooling new vga fan, water cooling, new heatsinks etc I wouldnt try going for too extreme a OC, #1 it probably wont be stable for too long, #2 the temperatures you will be kicking out will probably artifact all over the place at higher clock speeds, #3 they are completely different cards and they use different memory GDDR4 (X1950XT and XTX only) GDDR3 (X1900XT and XTX + X1950Pro) Just go for a good OC on the card you have keeping it stable, your not gonna see a huge difference in games anyways trying to get a X1950 clock, another thing too if your running DDR2 in your comp OCing the memory or tightening up the timings will improve overall performance of your video. But I would stay away from trying to OC your 1900 to 1950XT or XTX speeds with the stock x1900 cooler, the x1950 cooler was actually revised to be cooler for those clocks you will most likely end up damaging your card if you dont have good cooling. 92C is pretty high, i never break 60C on air even playing oblivion with my setup X1900XTX. If you want some suggestions on cooling I can point you in right direction of what I did. GL

EDIT: I see your using a Zalman *shrug* I dont really like the zalman vga coolers

can you check out the pic of OC i did and tell me if it's ok (TEMP,VOLTS)
other then that i get the point just worried about thoes 80+ temps....

ChaosMinionX

I would reseat your HSF, those temps are pretty high for 1.425v. Also what is your ambient temp?
Not to mention that 650/774 is stock X1900XTX 3d clocks which run like 50C load with a good cooler @ 1.45v
Concerning your question with heat those cards can take about 110C before they run into problems, but still OCing you dont really want temps like what your getting unlesss its a crazy OC

EDIT: Also when you reseat the HSF use Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, and make sure you apply it right.

i get ambient temp:

well i'l try to reseat the HSF i have somewhere thermal paste...not artic silver thoe....AS almost none
dunno wierrd thing with thoes temps.

Neshi

pretty high temps, maybe you havent seated the cooler right? do you remember what the temps were with the stock cooling on it?

They don't look that out of order for that card... but for a VF900 they do.

Is there enough airflow around that card? I notice there may not be due to that high VRM temp

Guys...
i just finished reseat the HSF and used AC themal thing...
everything seems ok and good...
tryed again with ATI TOOL the 3D Cube thing...and it gets same temps 83C
on rest its 41C....dunno whats wrong..maybe the program somehownot giving me the right temp info???

P.S
i noticed when i play a game like (NFS:CARBON,MEDIVEL2:TW,BF2142)i tryed to ALT+TAB to desktop and check out what temp ATI TOOLS show...and it was 48-50c....are thoes temp right if i ALT+TAB in the middle of high 3D game processing?
