EVA, make sure you run Ultra Quality!;)
woah what a drop.. you have Adapative AA enabled ?
Different level, and yes. ^
am i right that adaptive Aa makes everything look even better (like fences and other stuff). Or was that SuperAA (for crossfire)
so many quality filters I get confused :confused:
weird but higher FPS in Ultra Quality mode @stock 621/747 speeds

Pretty nice, 20FPS difference with the extra clocks, dam. Bit of a pain in the arse to use ATi-tool and OC tool every time you boot though.
Yeah hopefully either ATI Tool folks or OC Tool folks fix this heh
Hopefully is not even the word for it.
What have you guys found to be the 24/7 type of overclock to stick with? And at what voltages?
good question, sor far I am finding 680/800 stock volts to be best. I am sure the card has much more in it however with my card getting as hot as it is raising volts sounds out of the question for me. 680/800 at stock volts is still quite nice and can play anygame out there just fine. The fan doesn't have to be higher than 50% either to achieve just under 80c which is nice. Any lower and temps get into the 90's for me and any louder and the whine from the fan is just too much.
yeah seems 675/792 sites comfortably
The retailer i got my card from posted this:
ooooh HIS X1800XT Mastercard heheQuote:
The HIS importer has one X1800XT 512mb master card coming in on Tuesday. They've asked me to build it into a PC with another X1800XT-512mb using a DFI Crossfire board - it's for the Atomic awards event at Fox studios on Thursday...hope I can get Crossfire to work - I'll put the benchies here once it comes in.
Im just using 690/800 max i can in CCC, stock volts. I don't wanna up volts, as i want to keep the fan on as low as i can, anything more than 40% is to loud.
yup so it seems a good few of us are in agreeance on this. Max CCC on stock volts is best for performance to noise ratio. I can't loop 01 for hours on end at 690 so I set it to 688 (682 actual) and that seems perfect to loop and play everything under the sun without a single issue in regards to artifacts, vpu recovers, hard locks, resets and crashes to desktop. You really don't need faster than that. It's nice to have but is just a bonus and for wow factor I feel. Call of Duty 2 with everything maxed, 1280 x 1024 and Adaptive AA enabled plays smooth as silk on this card. I played the last 30 minutes of fear on this card and it ran incredible as well with most things maxed minus soft shadows. I can't wait to see what future Catalyst drivers brings to this card.
I am the same with you...running max ATI CCC will let me and with out any problems at all. I am very pleased with that. Runs games just fine in my opinion. But alittle more FPS never hurt.Quote:

hehe true but at the expense of extra heat and noise I dunno by how much it's worth it. Believe me, if my card wasn't running so damn hot I would surely push for more. I barely stay under the 80c mark with the fan at 50% and this is in the winter when temps are cooler. I am dreading what the temps will be in the summer heat as it gets quite humid here in Canada. I hit 90c on this card the first day I owned it and it has bothered me ever since as that is much too high, not to mention unexpected on my part. I have been wondering ever since if I have weakened or damaged my card though it seems to be running well. It was suggested to try and stay mid to late 70's which I am doing now but it was never stated unless I missed it as to what the max rated temp was and at what point ATI claims the temperature has entered the danger zone. I know the little temp meter in CCC overdrive can fluctuate greatly with the needle jumping a whole other line by a simple 1c increase. I wish I had checked where on the meter the card was when it was in the 90's but I'm sure it was far into the red. I was much too worried to think about stuff like that at the time so exited 3dmark asap.

Please let it be the 5.12 drivers.
hmmm interesting but good.
Check anandtech, it's nothing much really.... might be good for 3dmark though?
something is definitely up with your cardQuote:

Yea all seems fine. I have to wonder though, why do you think something is up with my card? Is 78c max with a fan load of only 50% really that bad? I thought that was the norm with these cards? Some people still hit 80c with the fan at double the speed running at 100%. My card idles from 55-58c just like everyone else as well. Perhaps I am missing something but again I am still on stock cooler with fan at 50% not 100% like some are running. I set up ATI Tool to throttle the fan depending on the cards temp and the fan only kicks into 50% above 79c. Anything under that and the card fan runs at 40-45% tops.
I was thinking of changing the stock thermal paste to ceramique to see if it would net me any gains however I have heard of very few people actually doing this with any success. One individual changed thermal paste and is now getting worse temps. Until I know for sure I will see some sort of gain I really don't want to muck with this card just yet. Only had it 3 days now. I thought it was you who posted or was quoted on posting that under 80c is just fine as a temp for this card especially on lower than 100% fan speed?
Well not exactly an XT mind you but my XL running at 1.275/2.102/2.102 with 650/675 is running in the low 60's with the zalman. That is truely starting to sound very warm.
while i run without a case my room ambients are between 30-33C and X1800XT even oc'd never hit past 69C on 45% fan speed... at 100% it's between 62-68C
seems like it wasn't a X1800XT crossfire card the retailer got shipped

Bleh! Shows you how much disties know about the stuff they import - what he handed me today was an X850XT Crossfire card, not an X1800XT.
It gets 5960 in single card mode and 8400 in Crossfire mode under 3dm05 with a 3500+ at stock. Think I'll jam an x1800XT in there instead.
