Testing X1950 Master ~82k in 01 aircooled

I started testing the X1950 Master card yesterday and have to say that I am impressed by the gain it has to offer just by higher memory bandwidth on the compiling master card. Atm I don't have a X1950XTX card (getting it back the coming week) just in time for some solid gpu-mousepots. So I had to use a X1900XTX.

X6800 @ 4679MHz (-90C)
X1950Master @ 681/1143MHz
X1900XTX @ 681/870MHz (the mem on this card is just terrible)

The ambient temp was over 24C (the cascade for the cpu is warming up the room).

Cpu can du over 5GHz for 3D with liqiud nitrogen. Gpus can do above 900MHz without vmod single on a -95C cascade.

Lookin good. Seems like the gains are definitely showing in nature...even with the slave running so slow. The other tests though look pretty "normal" for the clocks, drags included. :p: Two X1950's should be monstrous.

Actually if you compare to perdo and rickys results on much higher gpu and also cpu there clearly are some gains in all tests that are equally gpu and cpu dependent. Maybe it is Catalyst 6.8.

Nice :) Can you possibly show memory timings with rivatuner or rabit?

Nice Kinc, got the memory clocking for x1950 working yet?

Very nice Kinc :toast: cant wait for 2x1950 results :)

Very promising indeed, has I expect the extra memory bandwith helps:) .

Cant wait to get my hands on two of these :D

@Kinc : could you please post the compare URL ?

The X1950 aint supported by the ORB yet :(

Looks great, hope you get a second X1950(XTX) soon.

Lycka till. :D

This should be well enough for some Wr's and 90k+

beautiful result kinc. we wait for the next one then week end

nice to know tha X1950 will work in CF with X1900 :)
btw kinc what did u use this time to oc the cards ?

hi kinc what performance percentage increase would you say the x1950 mixed with an x1900 crossfire has over a normal x1900 crossfire (2 cards) in say 3d05 and 01, thanks

The X1900 is oced from bios and the x1950 master is oced with winclk.

Interesting, thanks for share.. i was ask me if this will be possible make this match and how it will work.. i plan take a X1950 Master and put my X1900XTX in sys, and then take a second X1950 before plan switch fot DX10 card when needed..

Wow.. rarely see the X1900XTX take 870mhz memory on air.. nice card you have there.

I was wondering if there is a way to keep tight timings except ati tool beta 15 which obviously doesn't work well yet with these cards :rolleyes:

No the problem is in the drivers or in the bios. All tools use the same driver-level clock setting. Not like beta 14 that changes the actuall clock on the card.

Mousepots and X1950 CF, should be a real kick to bench that setup. We heard no cold bug early on these, I hope that wasn't just a few lucky cards.

Good luck with it :toast:

awesome kinc, wish to see 19k in 05 single card :D

870MHz memclock is terrible??

I wish I could get that out of my XT... Only 837MHz stable here.

A little update - Nature will be brutal with subzero on master also.

X6800 @ 4750MHz
X1950master @ 689/1143MHz
X1900XTX @ 904/870MHz

Through bios yeah. Thats why 870MHz is max, cant set higher in rabit :)

nice :p: , say single or cascade :D

Wow first time I have seen such different clocks work in CF, interesting stuff. 2 1950's will be damn fast.

Yes will be dam brutal :eek: , you can easy beat my 86K ;)

Great score as allways Kinc :)

I am anxious to get the 1950CF + 1950XTX, I really hope they are not heavy cold buged like my X1900's to finally we can use Ricky's dual GPU cascade:cool:

great 01 score Kinc...:toast:

Im sure they are not, ive tested a few an all can take atleast -100 evap loaded.

Nice 01's for the clocks Marcus. :toast: Pedro sees that nature/clocks and starts trippin :).
Any other 3d benches to share at those best clocks? Allowed?

05 do not work good with different clocks on the cards. 23k at those freqs. Same goes with 06. Nature seems to like it though :) Im going to fill my dewar with LN this friday or on monday, hopefully I'll have some new pots by then. I need to get my hans on a X1950XTX aswell, this X1900 wont do. Alot needs to be done.
09-05-2006, 03:28 PM

I have a very interesting update in 06:

http://kinc.se/06.jpg

Weak X6800 with default cooled X1950 master with a cascade cooled unmodified X1900XTX. SM2 is behind because of the difference in clocks. SM2 scores do not gain anything going from 740 on the slave to 900. ATI seems to be able to show NV some competition in 06 aswell :)

But still to far of yours near 1000 FPS on the NV ..that's really tripping nature ;)

Going to be another score close to 90k I think by the end of testing .. Very nice work.

wow, simply amazing results so far :D

cant wait for some real x1950 crossfire action, i hope you get your card soon and make some new wr´s

you can find some very interesting results from an x1950 crossfire setup here

you can find a lot more benches on my link, incl. some 2560´ extrem quality benchmarking versus quad-sli :slobber:
