Sweet! post your results. Also make sure to DL the new ati official 6.11 drivers from amd/ati site
Just got home from work and the two X1950Pros are here. I will go install them and report back later.
Edit: First Run everything stock except the processor of course. OCing in Crossfire will be a biatch because of lack of support. My next run will be E6600@3.96Ghz and One card OCed via CCC OD. I gotta go do some stuff now. BBL.
great. now all you gotta do is overclock them.
Where are you buying these cards for and how much because I look at Newegg and the cheapest 1950pro is 209 and a 1950xt for 269? I was considering a 1950xt or a 1950pro now and add crossfire later but dont know which is the better deal nowadays... Any comments are greatly appreciated. I normally use 1024x768 as I have a 6800gt now and am upgrading to e6600 this week but still undecided on video card...
1950 Pro from ZZF is better deal. Also, simple CF connection.
I got mine from Newegg @ $169.99 as an open box item but I got them because they came with the standard Newegg Warranty which is a plus. eWiz had the Asus for the same price but they sold out quick because I could figure out that I could buy the Crossfire Bridge from ATi because theirs don't come with it.

E6600@3400 Mhz (425*8)
Asus P5B Delux WiFi/AP
Corsair TWINX2 8500C5 @ 425 Mhz 4-4-4-12
2xSapphire X1950 Pro Crossfire @610/756
Catalyst 6.11
Sorry about no ORB url but it says my result are invalid for some reson. It doesn't reconize that im running 2 cards in Crossfire. :confused: :nono:
What program are you using for OCing and what cooling? Thanks.Quote:

Hello there! I got a Club 3D 1950 Pro
I installed heatsinks to VRMs .... and tried to vmod with pencil. No luck on vcore increase. I am running on water, swiftech MCW60 block... gpu is running very cool.
I managed to OC the core with newest Catalyst (which I think don't support this card yet very well) with AtiTool 0.25 beta 14 to 654 Mhz stable. Mem won't budge at all for now, it either drops to half or comp just freezes... It has Hynix 1.4 ns chips, so I think about 850 Mhz would be within reach.

PS. why it often gives an Directx error (DEVICE_LOST).
Im using stock cooling, if i try to overclock GPU over 615 my screen goes black. But no artifacts are detected with Ati Tool or Ati Tray Tools, and my temp doesn't go over 62C so im guessing it's not a temp problem.Quote:

And Neverwinter nights 2 won't start with catalyst A.I enabled. With it disabled the FPS never goes over ~15:stick: with crossfire enabled. Oblivion crashes back to windows before the intro video comes on (again with catalyst A.I enabled and works with it disabled but haven't checked the FPS).
So im guessing Crossfire with the X1950 Pro + 965 chipset + Catalyst 6.11 doens't work as it should. Or im just doing something wrong.
I can't wait the get rid of my P5b Deluxe for the DFI RD600.
So how you could manage to overclock the memory?
PS. I think this thread should be in Video Cards section. Lets get our X1950 Pro flying.
We are using ati winclock for mem. or at least i am
it says wrong manufacter , could give me a link to the drivers you are usng.Quote:

What's so special about Riva Tuner that Ati Tool or Ati Traytools can't do?Quote:

trans am, do you have mem sinks on your card and what chips. I have 1.4 ns Hynix, and they start to artifact around 1470 Mhz.
And please try that Vcore mod that's on vr-zone review, I tried it with HB pencil, but it didn't post, so I cleaned it and normal vgpu again.
It is specially important to have good air flow around the VRM... Because, without proper cooling, these cards freeze even on stock clocks. Just noticed, because I am cooling it on water and hadn't any air blowing to it. Now there is 12 cm fan ... I hope it helps.
No sinks. I'm using the stock asus air cooler. all i did was remove the stock thermal paste and reapplied Arctic Silver Ceramique. I have a 92mm panaflo in my case door blowing on the card. These are the Samsung ics I posted earlier.Quote:

sweet! GOod luck with 10k! I know you can do it! I got tired of waiting for dfi rd600 so I just bought an open box wfi p5b dlx from newegg for $139. I hope to break 10k as well. I'm a little bit noob when it comes to crossfire clocking since I never had the opportunity. do both cards automically clock in sync? or is it completely independent? for example if 1x1950 does 648/830 and other does 648/769 ..does this mean both cards will have to run at 648/769? also what do you use to overclock them?Quote:
