A few have told me that actually dropping the volts below stock just a bit on the mem on their X18XT's actually improved their mem OC. Worth a shot, my X18XT comes tuesday....I'll test then.

agreed, if i run 800 mhz mem it crashes in game, but if i up the fan speed it can play foreverQuote:

I need the new VF900 or the new artic solution. I hope it will help me get 900 mhz out of that ram. But i can see its te core. Ram voltages do not help and lowering the core voltage of the gpu douse.
Well ATI said the xtxs dont have cherry picked r580s... I think someone's lying :slapass:
well i had the 1.1 so i went ahead and flashed over to the xtx and so far all is well. havent had much time to play with clocks yet though.
I prove or disprove the theory on monday and push the card at its max......If its anything like my x1800xt its a monster. Just waiting for the proper cooling.
From what I read, the XTX doesnt downclock to the XT crossfire speed. Mind you this was right as they were coming out.
I just ordered whatever I could get first. I ordered 5 XTX's and 5 XT's.
Well, the XTX came to my door first.
Now that the XT's can be flashed to XTX speeds, boy I am going to blow those out like crazy.
You happen to order any master cards?Quote:

just ordered a sapphire x1900xt, anyone happen to know if sapphires come with 1.1ns modules?
The few reports I've seen thus far they do have 1.1ns memory. I just want to know if the bbati XTX bios will work with it. Anyone with a Sapphire card try the flash yet?Quote:

That's good to hear..... my card should be here Monday or Tuesday so I'll have to give it a run.Quote:

I just flashed my sapphire xt with 1.1ns chips with a sapphire x1900xtx bios and its working nicely, ran rthdribl for 10 minutes with fan at 50% and was at 60c, trned the fan to 100% and 10 minutes later 53c :slapass:
Has anyone come across an x1900xt with 1.2ns chips? Seems like everyone is getting 1.1ns. My sapphire x1900xt comes tuesday or wednesday, can't wait to flash to xtx :cool:
ATI Brand X1900XT > 1.1ns > XTX flashed worked w/o any problems.
I flashed my Club3d XTX with the BBA bios in my quest for getting overclocker to work. Still didn't work with overclocker but in atitool I suddenly couldn't overclock the mem as much. Flashed back to the club3d bios and everything was as it should be again. Tighter timings on the BBA bios?
BTW. if someone could send me a bios that works with overclocker, I'd be really happy. :P
yeah that's a question worth asking.. any 1.2ns heh... funny all these 1.1ns chips and 512MB 7800GTX still has a shortage ???? ATI bought them all ?Quote:

I am wondering the same thing, still debating on XT or XTX. It seems no one can agree and some cannot clock their XT's very well even after a xtx bios flash. I am leaning more twards the XTX. Some one needs to start x1900 series OC/3dmark results thread so we can all compare to some thing and get an idea of where every one is at.Quote:

@ chew*: Will you have results after you pick up your chiller later tonight?
Anybody has a HIS 1900xt ? i might be getting one of those so i wanna be sure it has 1.1ns ram...Here is a link to the card http://www.hisdigital.com/html/produ...d=218&view=yes
