Ok well today I tried raising the PCI-E bus speed to 105 MHz, and I am able to overclock my core higher now. So far I'm at 668 MHz, and I think that I can go higher. Just so you guys know.
Hey Kain, did you ever try this? Just wondering.....

I too am a x1950 pro owner and am interested to see what results people are having with these. I'm running it currently at 621 core and and 759 mem in the 6.11 drivers. I have not found a version of ati tool to work properly nor do the new catalyst drivers work for me, after installing the screen started to flicker, and continue to do so until i set the clocks to default. I'm unable to up the pci-e bus as I'm running on a very lame dell and just waiting for the e6320 to come out before I build my next system. Is anyone running the Sapphire version of this card, that is what I have.
N/A Matt just seek some pages back - there is link to patched atitool.exe and what to patch in it. will be able to change mem timings.
What are the highest memory clocks that you guys have reached? The reason that I ask is that mine is stable in artifact scanning, but I'm getting some weird artifacts in games lately with no correlation to GPU temperature.
I can play for 2+ hours with no problems, but it has artifacted like crazy after 10 minutes before. When it did I was monitoring the temps with ATI Tray tools, and it maxed out at 51C, which is why I'm worried that it may be the memory.
I have the HIS which has GREAT cooling on everything, as it is the IceQ3 model.
I turned my OC down to 810 from 823.5, and I have read a review that they had it stable at 839 or so on the memory.
Anyhow, if I'm not getting artifacts in the artifact scanner and my temps are fine, do I have something to be worried about, or could this just be a driver issue that will be solved after the next Catalyst?
When I first set the OC in late November (when I bought the card) I ran the artifact scanner for around an hour, and today I ran the scanner for 40 minutes without any artifacts or scary temps.
Here is a pic:

and here is one after I exited the game and restarted, at the login screen:

in bf2142 i had to lower my gpu core to 641 from 648. mem is still at 823. thats strange how it only artifacts sometimes. how is your pcie speed?
I dropped it back down to 100 MHz when I discovered that it really didn't help my OC that much, but I raised it to 103 MHz to test for stability.
Are you running yours at 100 or OCed?
Last night it didn't happen and I played for a little less than 2 hours.
Weird!
I changed to Vista 32ult. and got some problems now (PowerColor 1950 pro extr. 256MB, 7.9/7.10 driver only):
With ATI Tool (0.26 patched) I can set/change memory timings and apparently save them to a new profile. But it doesn't load the saved timings in this profile, neither manually nor automatically during profile startup. There's no error or something like this, it just loads/sets wrong timings I've never saved. BUt I can load the saved timings in die timings-window. Below are buttons to load them, these work. Unfortunately the profiles don't.
Are there vista problems or maybe newer driver related ATI Tool issues?

Anyway , someone got a good tip I might try out??

take up the pciexpress freq to 105, u'll see an increase in performance and oc.
I have an AGP card :(
Okay come on...Someone throw me a bone here lads. I'm begging here... OK OK. might be overdoing it..
But seriously, any idea or alternatives that I might test out.
Didn't anyone come up with a solution for the above mentioned problem??
Thanks in advance!! :D
Cheers!
