x1800xt, pretty good cards.

[Plywood99]

Been fiddlin with my x1800xt, trying to reach 12k in 3dmark05. Finding it very dificult to do without going for extreme cooling solutions.

Here is my best so far:

What tweaks do you all use to max your 05 scores???

[eva2000]

wow even higher... i'm not gonna catch ya on air LOL

what gpu/mem volt is that at ?

what windows theme is that nice and transparent!

[Plywood99]

Gpu 1.48, mem 2.097

WindowBlinds5 theme is Dreamland.

Man I want 12k so bad I can taste it. But getting hard to mush any more out of this card, not that I'm complaining mind you...

[eva2000]

SIOUX is on water for his X1800XT and he said undervolting his mem volts helped clock his mem higher

I seen a few folks with X1800XT stock air doing 950mhz on mem - wish mine could do that heh

[Plywood99]

Hmm, haven't tried undervolting. Lol...

[Cybertronic]

What are you using to overclock? :)

[Plywood99]

AtiTool...

[G H Z]

Need clocks & comparo ;)

[Plywood99]

Getting closer to 12k.

Doesnt all of that skinning stuff take up some resources? I say turn all of that off, kick explorer off, set 3d05 to realtime, run 3d05 then come back with your score.

[Gnome]

+ clean optimized windows -> 12k

[biohead]

system properties > advanced > performance > adjust for best performance
start > run > services.msc > disable all useless crap ;)

nice score :toast:

[eva2000]

Getting closer to 12k.

congrats.. what clocks those at as you don't mention it in compare url description heh ?

i'm coming for you :D

Eva2000 you have the better core, mine is crapping out at 765. Benches run at 760,980.

I think it time to turn up the heat on my opteron 165...

[eva2000]

980mhz on mem man it must be water that does it as SIOUX is at 970-999mhz on water too heh

pulled off 11,373 with 776/918 so far

[Plywood99]

Memory is not w/c, using ocz ram heatsinks. But I think it does help to get them off same sink as gpu...

[eva2000]

nah i mean water cool GPU = cooler PCB as well = cooler mem = high mem clock :)

[SIOUX]

Here is my 3d05. with the 5.11 driver. have to try out o5 with newer driver soon i think:)

[Plywood99]

Sioux, mind if I ask what tweaks you using to reach that score?

[SIOUX]

MPS Uni tweak on win2k SP4. The MPS win2k was not good with with the X850 series, but kick ass with these x1800XT cards for some reason.


heres the screenie :)

AtiTool...

atitool 0.25 beta 11?

[Plywood99]

^^
Beta 10. Didn't know there was an 11...

[Plywood99]

Getting closer to 12k...

Beta 10. Didn't know there was an 11...

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/172

I know that only beta 11 work well on x1800..all tell me that all version of atitool except beta 11 don't work well on ati x1800 series..have you got any problem with beta 10?

atitool 0.25 beta 11, will also disable 2D/3D switch on X1800XT, so, if you got OC bios (who lifts voltage up to 1.4x when card are in 3d mode), the increase of the voltage doesn't happen, and so you must plan voltage with atitool or with overclocker..

[Plywood99]

^^
Thanks Scampi. I was already using profiles in AtiTool to keep from running volts full tilt all the time. But it is buggy. Hopefully beta 11 addresses some of them...

[scampi]

you have OC bios?

[Plywood99]

^^
Yup...

[Plywood99]

I can almost smell 12k...

[ZX7891]

omfg....just do a damn diagnostic boot you have a ton of crap running in the background

[Plywood99]

^^
How, never done one...

[eva2000]

woah 11.8k just a tad more :)

[ZX7891]

run>msconfig>diagnostic startup

[ugp]

Your almost there!

[Plywood99]

run>msconfig>diagnostic startup


Did absolutely nothing. Score did not change at all...

[Cybertronic]

I apologise for going off topic but eva2000, did you have a fix for the X1800 XT overclocking program for those that wouldn't start due not recognising the X1800 card? :)

[eva2000]

sorry i don't it's weird error indeed

Just use AtiTool beta 11...

[loc.o]

Dual core is doin nice with cat5.13. This is what i need on a single core for 11.7K

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/loc_oc/11.jpg

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1645495

[eva2000]

looking good so ati tool beta 11 allows 787 and 789mhz increments too ? as X1800 Oc tool only allows me 756, 762, 769, 776, 783 and so on in ~7mhz increments heh

[loc.o]

Yes just using Atitool to adjust in smaller steps works fine for me.

[eva2000]

cool need to try it out then :D

[eva2000]

Ply what was 11,842 clocked at and what voltages for gpu/mem ? i'm only getting 11,678 at 2.95ghz with 797/945 hmmmm

[neoman]

Cmon m8 disable that theme its taking a lot of memory use.
To it like other ppl have told u Go My Computer --> Properties-->Advance-->Performance Settings---> Adjust for best performance

[Plywood99]

770/990, volts 1.575/2.176

Funny thing is, have not been within 40 points of that score since. Even upping my opty 165 to 2.95 instead of 2.9 did notta.

But all thats changin this weekend... :D

[eva2000]

heh sounds like a bugged run then :)

[eva2000]

ply 10pts ahead of ya for now heh

[dnottis]

Eva - where did you get the MBM5 plugin for the X1800XT?

[eva2000]

no plug in need, ati tool send gpu and gpu environment sensors to sensor 5 and 6 and then open ati tool and MBM5 together for gpu/env to show :)

[Plywood99]

Nice going Eva2000! Good job...

[ugp]

I got it working on mine as well. RivaTuner works as well not for reporting Temps, Voltage, etc...
