it's the DFI NF4 Ultra, SLI Mod...shipping BIOS 0125, drivers that came on disk. Cat 4.12's (6497's) I always bench with 512mBQuote:

I have been misunderstood: two things aren't linked, but both limit overclock. It's a fact that without vmodd (and/or without a very good dissipation system because, in my opinion, 0.11 process = more heat but I could have said a wrong thing, I'm not an expert) it's impossible to reach 460+ of core clock with a X800XL.Quote:

I did cut off 1/6 of my NB heatsink of my I865PE motherboard lol..Quote:

I'm 100% noob of vmod >..<
i don't think pencil mod will work well.. so..
:D I need some PIC :D
use a Variable Resistors will be better right?
it's using a Fairchild FAN5240MTC right?
same as the 9800 one?
got some benches done on my newly built a64 system with 3200 winnie and x800xl. got just under 20000 everything stock using crappy generic ddr400 in single channel mode. then overclocked cpu to 230htt 2300mhz ram 1:1 just to see what it would do (still trying to work out this dfi ultra d) and used ati tool to set max clocks on x800xl which settled at 460 core and 560 memory , and got around 24400 , and thats with loose timings on my bh5 as im still fiddling with all the settings.
got hold of a cbbhd 3200 week 46 and took out my bh5 cos was causing loads of probs new scor http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8476057
x800xl is now recognized by the ORB!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoooo-hoooo!!!!!!!!!!!
X800 XL, the "new" ti4200
I'm actually kinda pissed at my x800xl. I came from a 9600xt that scored over 5500 on 3dmark03, while my x800xl scores twice that....I suppose I was expecting a higher score since it has 16pipes, twice the memory, and about 3 times the bandwidth.
but anyway...I did the voltmods on my card...didn't gain me much. I think the cooling is holding me back. What cooler should I get for this thing? The stock job gets very warm/hot when benching or using atitool. I suppose I'd also need ramsinks...which won't be a big deal...but do any of the aftermarket coolers contact the ram also or even leave space for ramsinks?
one last question...what are safe ranges for voltages? right now I have 1.45v to the core and 2.3vdd and 2.1vddq. Those voltages give me about 455/570. I want MORE! :slobber:
hehe...sorry...just giddy.. :p:
I ran her up to 490 at 1.55v....we need someone to slap on a Phase Change, DI or a TEC to see if this GPU will open up to 600mhZ....Quote:

2003 run new 3d 01 here cant get much more on the card tried 460 560 and itjust drops out , so im guessing not enough power as its not even tearing or artifacting at 450 550 just runs smooth in 01 and 03 and couple of hours of ut2004 smooth aswell , gonna order some vr's
I also got this card, and to be specific, the Powercolor version with 1.6ns ram and the power connector.
But no matter what I try, I cannot get the memory beyond 580.
Really strange, cus the RAM is rated 1.6ns, which is 1000/1.6=625, right?
I can push the core to about 469 with minor artifacts, zalman VF700-Cu cooled (also the ramsinks on the mem).
My best scores:
2005: 5837
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=666160
2003: 13126
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3790053
2001: 31243
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8474226
All the above benches were done with room temperature of about 12 degrees celcius. 2001 with ACPI multi processor.
My nature in 01 is really low compared to charlie's. And he is running WinXP.
I wonder why that is :( Also the drago low is higher then mine.
Any tips or causes for that?
Will try pencil mod the card soon, haven't done that before.
that's the wrong '01 compare.... it says x850xt??????
As for your 31k score, it's nice. You've got good CPU power going there with the tight timings and the Win2K/8.1. The Win2k/8.1 by themselves are worth 800pts...
My Drago Low and Nature are 100% from the card clocks...
Do the Vmod, and read up on '01 benching tips, you can probably hit 32K pretty easy :D
Here's our '01 compare:

Im getting my Asus X800XL VIVO tomorrow. The Asus was 80$ more than the other XL´s, but it has got the power connector. Thought it might help when running with vmod.
Anyone heard anything about the Asus XL ? Know what kind of RAMs it has?
Sorry about the wrong compare url, I posted it kinda in haste, got the wrong url :) Corrected it in my previous post.Quote:

As for the benching tips, this is what I have done (for 01):
- Win2k SP4 + DX 8.1
- ACPI multi processor
- Process priority to realtime
- Ended explorer.exe
- A64 tweaker max tweaked
- Ended all other processes
- Slides all to performance
Ive searched for more tweaks, but they are so difficult to find.
Saw your tips on the other page, thanks for those.
Will try pencil modding it in a few hours, and do some benches :D
vrtn: Have you tried the Ricky/Pedro tweak? LOD?
anyone else:
little OT... I've checked out a64 tweaker but I don't recognize half of the options in it, I'm definitely no memory guru here...
Could someone link me to a good A64 tweaking article or have some general tips how to use this powerful little program? I'd appreciate it...
Knew i forgot something there :) updated it.Quote:

Attached a A64 tweaker screenie with the best values for my mem/cpu/mobo.
455 on core seems to be my limit just gos from completely smooth at 450 to stupid corruption at 455 have to reboot to cure it as it screws the desktop to , got 580 on mem with no probs all on a connect 3d x800xl. waiting for some vr's off ebay to mod the card then ill see what shell do on water
Hey Charlie , thought of anything that might explain my sub par scores yet ? :confused: :( I think i'm gonna go for another BIOS for this DFI .. :stick:
nox try bumping the core to 450 and mem at 580 , and maybe lower your ram cas latency to 2.5 or 2 if itll go. my connect 3d was the cheapest x800xl avaidable at £200 and it does 450 580 with ease , core wont go higher down to lack of power it looks like. open task manager and see if theres anything running using a lot of resources , and shut everything off in your toolbar like firewall and anti virus or spyware software if ur using any. 11962 isnt that bad its only about 300 off what me and charlie are getting and were both running our processors at 2700 with 300htt , ur just doing 2500 with 250htt . try lowering your multi to 9 and your htt multi to 3 then see if you can reach 300 htt you should at least break 12 with that
wooha slap on that badboy now!!!! gluck with getting the mounted sorted,Quote:

Chap says he managed to flash to XT bios, am asking for him to provide url link but will need your guys expertise in verifying if this guy is genuine, i do hope he is
:)
already been posted somewere in this thread about it
Got my Asus x800xl VIVO today. No power connector .. Komplett.no got the pictures mixed up.
It OC´s OK, but its definitely not the best overclocker.
3dmark03 max - 470/540 (with some minor memory artifacting)
I slapped on a Zalman VF700-AlCu. Loadtemp is ~43c
I measured the vgpu, and it seems to be 1.41v. I thought the XL´s were 0.11 running lower voltage than the R420´s?
The RAMs aren´t even hot. About 40c .. must me undervolted or something.
Anyway im gonna vmod it tomorrow. Would be nice to have 500/550 with silent aircooling. One thing is for sure.. im keeping my XT PE. XLs are no good for benching.
