What should I do? Should I hang on to these and see if better drivers come out and run them in crossfire or should sell the cards and get a x1900xt or x1950xt because by the time I get a crossfire board these will be dirt cheap.. I spent about 330 bucks on these 2 cards and I'm not really seeing much better performance over my old x1800xl but the plan was to run in crossfire. I can't overclock the mem and I think because its an asus bios ....I can't install official 6.10!!!
I was thinking flash to stock x1950 pro bios and see what happens but I don't know where to get one. any thoughts? whats the best card I can get for $330 bucks nowdays??
I tried a could of Sapphire X1950 Pros in Crossfire for the heck of it. With my CPU @ 3.7 I get the following in 3dmark06:
Cards @ 620|700 = 9306
2=3674
3=3946
CPU=3292
I did use high performance driver settings and did not use plus LOD tweaks.
Unless you're going G80...stick with these.Quote:

Powercolor stock speeds -> 3D Mark scores
2001 -> 37,5k
2003 -> 17,5k
2005 -> 10,6k
2006 -> 5,4k
E6300 @ 3GHz, RAM 430MHz 5-5-5-12
The mermory overclocks very well and gives you a nice performance boost. Overclocking the core on HIS X1950Pro is very poor, considering its high stock clock.
EDIT: please try highering the PCI-E bus speed, it will give your X1950Pro a nice boost on overclocking the core. I stuck to 105MHz. With 115MHz I could get almost 20MHz more.
mine x1950pro scored 11600 @ 620/1450Mhz ... Use Atitool beta16 pre5 + 6.10 official ;) create new profile and leave the services alone...Quote:

What are the speeds of your cards? Your scores are pretty high.
My clocks: 648/865mhz
With 105MHz PCI-E.
nice :)Quote:

i've only tested on the badaxe so far, so i've only been able to push the pci-e to 109MHz which made no difference
Overclocking this card gave me sometime weird lockups. Make sure to disable "ATI hotkey poller" service in msconfig, it's really holding back the card.
You got 11600 in 3dmark06 with a X1950 Pro @ those clocks? Grats.Quote:

Ok I got confused because he quoted my 06 score then gave his results :p: NM.Quote:

Dunno if you tried this already, but these are drivers for x1950pro. Default 6.10cats are not working with x1950pro iirc
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...estionID=23582
Drivers delivered on cd are working just great.
Hmmm...interesting thread...I recently purchased a Sapphire X1950 Pro.
Searching the web I found out:
ATI has 'special drivers' for this card, you can't use the standard Cat's
ATI Tool doesn't work with this card so well
My card will OC to 625 x 780 without a problem...
Runs all benchies except AM03...It runs but won't report the score...I think it's because I am using a widescreen.
Card is pretty quite...If anyone wants to see benchies, justy let me know.
780 mem is pretty good. I feel like everyone and their grandmother is able to get their mem clocked pretty high except me. Is there anything special you are doing to get the mem clocks? so far 648/702 (110 pcie in p5b bios) is stable for me with stock cooler. using ati tool beta 16 and the specific x1950 pro on the ati/amd site. Is Saphire using different ic?Quote:

I really don't know what sapphire does different but 780 is only 80 over stock. Board comes from factory with mem at 1400Quote:

my 2006 score was 500 points lower.
nature in 2001 was 345.4fps @648/702
then 240fps 648/803.25
i think winclock is bogus.
winclk set slower timings when clocking memory
Samsung 1,4ns should be able to handle 800MHz.
All my programs were able to read out memory speed and stock speed the way I set them. I can remimber looking at loops of 3D mark and see how the FPS increased while overclocking this card. I will have a look at it again in a few moments.
Does it?Quote:

Question.
Why is the Asus x1950pro less expensive then the ati original x1950pro?
Is it because the x1950pro has a copper heatsink, is single slot
while in comparison, asus board has the arctic silencer on it instead?
Is there anything to do with performance / overclockability, etc.?
I have myself a ATi original x1950pro in front of me, and I'm just wondering
why it was more expensive then the asus one (I paid more for it becuz
I like the look of the single slot HSF design, and becuz its single slot :D )
missing rager theater chip. No HDMI.
