I just got this card a day ago. So far its a good card. Stable in ATI tool @ 577/1600 so far.

HIS is really getting (even more) flamboyant with those card designs lately. What do the letters stand for again?
Either way, very thorough with the tests -- good job man :woot:
Hightech I think. That's the stock ATI heatsink btw :p:, the new one.
Good clocks :) Try 625 core. Kick it up in 25Mhz knotches, thats what I usually do.
I cant adj the voltages and its about maxed almost. Im gonna get a fatal1ty VF-900 and slap it on see it if helps maybe. I wanna know when theyll figure out how to adj the digital VRM's
Edit: Added AM3 score
any new scoors with new cooling, i have the same card, it clocks grate :P 625/820 with no problems :woot: soon i will try hardmod on it :P let see what i can do :DQuote:

jes i have sapphire rev2 , stock cooler allso, with 100 % fan speed plus e6300 @3500 mhz i cracked easily 12k @ 3dmark05 . imo very good for so cheap cardQuote:

577/1600 are sick clocks for x1900GTrev2, share the bios RubiconX3 :slobber:
My stable speeds are 563/1470, so you're lucky with your card.
Can you check under the hood what mem you have?
i had 1.4ns , but memory OCd to 820 mhz :O and core 620 stable...Quote:

looks like the new x1900gt whit 512MHz Core 1320MHz mem HDCP support on the new 1950pro pcb whiteout he cf connecters... is it?
the old had 575MHz Core 1200MHz mem
What's your CPU running at for that '01?
I would think you can scratch off the PCB for the contact for the crossfire connectors. There still there just covered over. My CPU was 3.42
love the new cooler.
Yeah, don´t we all.:DQuote:

Someone HAS to come out with something. The digital VRM's are sweet
Tell us how u could reach that, did u do hardmods, phase-cooling?, maybe cool the Vitec chip a bit more? (mine gets really hot).Quote:

My Sapphire X1900GT Rev2 only goes to about 550/1600 stable on stock cooler and stock voltage. With a new cooler and a voltmod I'm sure it'll hit 600/1700.
Anyone know where you can get these in the UK?
This is the perfect card to replace my ageing x800xl.
thanks, Ed
really nice card.. :D
If you also want to try to kill your card, then see this: :cool: :D

wooohoooo go Shamino!
This means that x1950pro vmods should not be far off either, since they both essentially use the same digital vrms
really like the new cooler
Dammit I'm gunna have to order one from china and its gunna take 6-8 days :(
Finally got my X1900GT-s, they look nice but rev.2 again.:( Looks like we need to start moding these beasts. Cheaper than single X1950XTX but faster:p: :

Damn, why has everybody 800mhz memory, i only have 725mhz :(
just wondering if any one knew.
1) why doesnt it allow software voltage mods?
2)since the next gen pcb is gonna be similar it prob wont allow software voltage mods either right?
3)why get this one over the old one.
Ths revision has a new digital VRM, which ATiTool, etc are not compatible with.Quote:

Evil thats software crossfire? What are your 06 and 05 scores
Yeah, software of course, that´s why i said cheaper than X1950XTX.:) For 05 and 06 run i used 3,9ghz and 573/1600.:confused:Quote:

Rev2 cards, but über fast nevertheless:p:
the old x1900gt is better overclocker? i saw old at 650+ easy...and now rev2 are having problems with 620...lol why should buy rev2 so :D
^ Digital PWM so I guess they run cooler.
Also HDCP support.
Yes, they consume less power, but they are slower by default, and not so overclock friendly as rev1.
because almost all GT-s are rev2 these days?:rolleyes:Quote:

nevertheless rev2 has nice cooler and it is fast even without oc.
513/657 and it does all that in crossfire.. software voltage adjustment would be just too nice:p:
Shamino has found Vmod for rev2 cards, but noone tried it. Im still looking for x1900gt rev1, i hope next week ill found some.
I dont remember where, but there was comparison between rev1 and rev2, and rev1 was faster my default.
rev1 is 575/1200 and rev2 is 513/1300
no wonder that rev1 is faster:)
CRAZINESS !!! HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING DONGLELESS XFIRE ON INTEL ?!?!?!
Perkam
heh? Intel supports CF, atleast it has Xpress3200 sticker on my P5WDH box..Quote:

Winterwind, is there x1900gt cards available in Estonia shops?
Some days ago arrived 6pcs x1900gt club3d cards in main warehouse, and i got information that they are rev2 :(
Crossfire was enable on the 975x abd 965p with the latest catalyst, both hard and software wiseQuote:

http://www.vr-zone.com/index.php?i=4151&s=1 lets burn those nice rev2 cards
both sapphire and club3d rev2?Quote:

Perkam
The different cooler is for any rev.2 card and the clock speeds those two will tell
Digital vrm. Ati disabled software voltage adjustment for middle range cards.Quote:

hey perkam it looks like your dream may come true :)

Hopefully the new x1950pro launching tomorrow has a similar vmod. Doesn't it use the same PCB as the Rev2 x1900GTs? Or at the very least the same digital VRM..
Can't wait!!!!
Yes, exactly what i think.Quote:

I dont know what cooling he used, but its impressive for 200$ card.
My X1900GT does 11k totally stable.Quote:

Never see any artifact, but the card just shuts down after a minute ATITOOl scan on corespeed 670. I'm not the only one who has stability problems with a x1900gt rev2 voltmodded. My card stopped 10 minutes ago when playing oblivion for 1 hour on stock speeds.
Can't be heat problems, my card get 54 degrees under load.
Shamino first said i had to brake of the transistor, but i'm glad i didnt do that. Later he said i also could use conductive ink, but it isn't a success.
I wouldn't recommend to voltmod this new GT, it doesn't help much. :slapass:
Hi there i was wondering my rig is a AM2 X2 3800 65w, Abit KN9 and a Sapphire X1900GT and im only getting 7,3k in 2k5 and 13,5k in 2k3 anybody know whats wrong here? ive been trying to find out whats wrong for a couple of days already, but cant find out whats wrong, if anybody can help me here i would apreciate it alot.
Thanks
that Shamino's vmod doesnt work, card crashes every time, no matter what voltage you give:nono:Quote:

Shamino says this card has only 2phase power, so thats the limit.
how on hell that "hardmod" doesnt work then?
it just crashes in 3d whatever voltage i give to it..
i bet that mod is buggy
it just cant be that every card that i try crashes with more voltage than 1.13v
and it cant be because of that "2 phase power"
X1950PRO oc-s to 650mhz with 1.3v with same PCB
shamino doesnt have that card, he just did vmod with looking at pictures..
and that "theoretical" el crapo just doest work as it is supposed do..
If you voltmod the x1900gt/x1950pro then you have more volts. I had 1,32v and i could get highers speeds, but the card shuts down.
If you only have 2phase power, and the card uses more power then 2phase can provide, then the card will get unstable. Remember that the old GT or the XT has/had more phase.
The only reason why the x1950pro can get highers speeds, is the 80nm.
80nm means less power, and less needed volts.
Did you try the mod on he x1950pro??
If you are modding x1950pro, tell us about your experience with this voltmod please.
that 2 phase isnt the problem, card crashed because of bad vmod.
and it crashes without oc, just rise voltage and run 3d
and then it hangs.. it cant be because on that 2 phase when you dont
upper mhz but just voltage a bit
IF thats so, maybe the solution afterall is breaking that resistor off.
Thats what Shamino first told me, later he said i could use conductive ink.

If you want to look at the pcb then here are some pictures of my x1900gt.Quote:

I know they dont overclock great but I was hoping for more than that.
I'm gunna ebay it and get an x1950pro and mod a cpu cooler on there.
