Can anyone tell me what the DEFAULT mem timings for the C3D GTO -> Powercolor XT bios are? Just want to make sure I saved them right :)

I'm on water. Right now GPU @ 600MHz maxes out at 38-40C.

You calibrate pencil mod voltages with a multimeter, I'm guessing.

And Tedy -- I can arrange some pictures, but the one you posted above is exactly the same as mine. Same PCB, same stock HSF, same everything.

Took some pics of mine today... it really is a nice quality card...

Nice glamour shots, but how about a pic of the core?

I have a 0453 that was bought from Newegg and am theorizing on the OC... just would like to see what other core dates people are getting.

I am running X850 XT speeds on with this card with a Zalman VF700-Cu

6170 3dmark 2005

Still have to try for PE speeds

I removed the stock heatsink
Man was it a mess under there!
Goo everywhere

Yeah, I'm not so sure about the thermal "foam" they used, but the stock cooling solution actually isn't bad. With the copper core it's heavier and more effective than it looks. Of course, I only used it for about six minutes before slapping on a Maze 4.

Tedy, if I work up the balls to do the mod I'll definitely post some pics (of the inevitable flaming wreckage). I'm still trying to figure the risk/benefit ratio. I've already got a card that can do 7000+ in 3DM05, so I'm a bit hesitant to mess with it. I'm getting some GPU instability at 600+ and artifacting with the mem over 625; if a VGPU or VDIMM boost would likely push those numbers to 650/650 stable, and I don't feel like my liberal arts degree makes success impossible, I'll hit that @$#% like I was banana number two.

You're right about risk/benefit ratio, don't risk this good card :)

Dazog: so it's quite a mess under eh? I'll mount VF 700 CU today.

Hi,

For those who have mounted the vf700cu , what did you gain ?
10-20-2005, 03:28 AM

I did gain so far around 5°C cooler GPU/mem.....but in terms of overclocking i gained sorry to say pure :banana::banana::banana::banana:.......not even 10mhz GPU......something is holding these cards back.

Thanks for your honesty man,

I will just replace the stock foam by some artic silver céramique then.

Loving the smileys :p:

Maybe you should try volt modding it?

Timings are the same on both cards.

well i decided to try the vgpu mod , set it to 1.45 ( was 1.4 stock idle ) and tweaked so it was near 1.45 load as it was dropping to 1.43 load. ran ati tool max core it got to 610 ( 590 without mod ) and the pc froze no artifacts or anything so im guessing it wants more juice still ! temps peaked at 56c in a 3d mark 05 run and i gained a couple of hundred points. it says on the vmod guide that 1.45 is max for air cooled anyone think 1.475 is pushing it? as my temps are still low. will try vdd soon

edit: 3dmark was ran @ 605/615

Next week I got a x800GTO@x800XT and a X800GTO²@X850XT.

I'll see if i have some time to compare them.

Much better then waisting 30$...unless you're voltmoding it :slap:

can someone post the memory timings at stock on sapphire gto2 from ati tool. i forgot to save mine and want to see how high the memory will clock with vdd mod , as with the modified timings i only get 610 on the mem , i was getting 630 with stock volts and timing before

thanks

did a quick 05 run @ 610/630 with the modified mem timings
