chri$ch you could take your memory way higher than that, why don't you shove it at 999?
and what case do you have.. cuz i see your mobo is upside down?
atitool artefact scan shows over 875Mhz failures...
Its an Lian Li PC-101B....
is clocking these the same as any other GPU, right? just spam the clocks up untill ati tool arties? any quirks I should know about before mine arrives?

Hmm, what sould I do? Shoud I take it or stay with my curent 8800GTS 320Mb? I already tested one 2900Pro card and it scored me 14870 points on 3DMark06 @ 887/2034 :)
Maybe wait for next gen ATI chips that will be released soon?
apparently the 2950's are released in one monthQuote:

Did a 3Dmark06 run with both bioses. Difference (in favor of the PRO) was less than 1%.
Looks like the xtbios upped the VDDC to 2.20V. It's the only difference I've seen so far.
brgrs,

A 512 or 1GB? If a 1GB you're the first to confirm here that they've flashed one, as far as I can tell.Quote:

Sapphire, 512MB.
Shees, I thought these absolutely illogical beliefs have long gone...Quote:

Start doing crazy amount of post-processing and you might can reach a few hundred megs...
PS: only case when I can see 1GB used is some 3D or compositing software - which is irrelevant to display resolution, especially desktop 2D resolution.
First, you won't use higher than 4x AA in 1920 'cause it doesn't really make any apparent difference at this high resolution (assuming you are not displaying on a 10 feet projector) - rule of thumb says the lower the resolution the more AA you need.Quote:

Why would anyone flash it when it already overclocks far above the XT, it's just beyond me... just to wreck your warranty or what? :confused:Quote:

Yes I know it's overkill. At least right now. But for $337 w shipping I said screw it. Anyone who would pay for a 1GB XT is definitely too rich or too foolish (or both).Quote:

Admittedly, my own hasn't gone above 280 yet at 1920x1200, but I've only played tf2, ep2 and ut3 since the card arrived 5 days ago. Will be keeping an eye on it.
UPDATE: Just hit 521 on a 5 minute Oblivion test outdoor, everything maxed except int and ext shadows at half, no AA or Antistropic (wow looks incredible but hit the mid to low 30s in battle; continue tweaking)
UPDATE2: Hit 680.7 after 45 mins of playing w shadows further down, 2xAA Narrow-Tent/8x Antistropic
UPDATE3: 864.25 new record Oblivion. Bring on Crysis!
Guys I have a request...
Can somebody provide me with BIOS which sets vgpu to 1.2V at default? It must come from 512MB card, brand is of no matter for me!
Thanks in advance! :up:
vGPU will not change with other Bios!Quote:

ya.. i've found no advantage on this 2900xt bios... can someone show me where to get the pro bios.. and how to flash it back to pro?
You didn't back yours up first? :p:Quote:

Just follow the same process as you did to flash to XT, of course.
