don't use the jpeg extension, as it's lossy. use lossless PNG or bmp.

Offtopic, Xion that red is really distracting. But it looks cool :)
Heh, thanks. I need to update it, though, since I have my card now. :P
She's clocked @ 875|975, by the way.

well i dunno what to say about that. all my settings are as you see them in the benchmark and in my sig...?
what OS are you running?
___EDIT___
Diamond just changed the specs of the 2900XT 1GB. they lowered the GPU speed on the web page from 825mHz which i reported in post #115 this morning to 743mHz. WTH!!??

Like who? This is the first I've heard of it. I didn't know there was a 3rd party program that even recognizes the HD 2900XT. Do you know the name of that program as well?Quote:

Macci was the first to use the custom BIOSes, I'm pretty sure anyone else got them from him.

First if you want to tweak and find out how high we can push your cards. First thing we have to do is unlock the threshold safety mechanism, and then flash your card. Next you can play with higher clk speeds all you want. i will work on a bios that will enable this. I will post it later this weekend.
Next.........For all you DIY guys that need these 1GB cards, please PM me your contact information and I will arrange for my team to get you one. Price
is in line with the GTX. So dont worry about getting sticker shocked.
MM
Price for two is inline with GTX? my 2 512mb cards cost that...local pricing has 1gb cards $100CAD above 512mb cards.
We really need access to proper tools, and we really shouldn't have to go through NDA for them either. I've heard some interesting tales about bioses on these cards...
I've also seen alot more communication coming from the right people in the last two weeks. It's very nice. VERY nice. ;)
Thanks for trying to meet our needs...we do pay the bills, in the end, n-e-way. :lol2:
stupid question, but is mad maverick from AMD, or a OEM?
MiddleMan.
MM...it fits so well...:rofl:
I wonder if a bios update is in our future to get the HD 2900 that extra boost in performance (instead of driver update alone)?
