Any GTO/GTO2 > 16 pipelines results yet?

[Supertim0r]

I cant clock any higher because of this stupid i915 chipset wont do over 247 MHz!!

I see that people with lower GFX clocks, but A64s at 2.8 GHz are kicking my GTO2.

BTW, that BIOS, which flashrom did you use? 1.58 v on stock cooling? lol

A64 @ 2.8ghz is better than a P4 for games/bench imho

you need flashrom16p

yep 1.58v stock cooling with a HIGH cfm 120mm panaflo
should get ViperJohn aircooling this week

[blind_ripper]

the card wont go any higher thane withe modded x800GTO² card

[K.I.T.T.]

here's the pic of my ub3r soldering skills which almost killed my card the first time

[LexDiamonds]

This is the best my GTO2 can do.... A little over 8k:

This was done with clocks at 678/600.

Best $220 video card ever!

What VGPU and drivers? Nice score!!

And is that supertim0rs bios?

[Supertim0r]

678 !!!

[MaxxxRacer]

lex that is nothing short of amazing. What kind of cooling and mods did u do

[TEDY]

someone i know he's running 670/630 at 1.6v....he will hunt 700/700...

no mods on ram he said yet.

630 ram w/o vmod is realistic

I think i've seen 780/702 phase (can't remember where...)

[LexDiamonds]

Sorry for the lack of details earlier....

Drivers are the 5.10 WHQLs...will definately upgrade to the 5.11s for the OGL boost when they are released.

BIOS is just the basic ati x850 xt pe bios from techpowerup. I then disabled the VIVO in the Device Manager. I think this bios has pretty tight ram timings...it is the only explaination on why I cant go above 600 on my mem.

VGpu was 1.62 via VR. Nothing higher does anything for me except add heat. Cooling is MCW55 block in my normal watercooling loop. Max temps when running ATI tool @ 660/600 is 41C. As winter sets in, I will have to break out my water chiller (live in Montana). Its a window mounted push/pull cooler that keeps everything outside, but pipes cold water back into my loop. I think 700mhz core bench is easily possible.

I have a 80mm fan blowing over the voltage regulators on the card. They still hit 50C under load which is starting to get a bit warm. Moving voltage above 1.6ish started to really skyrocket this temp.

Now that I have taken the card on a few first dates, I am going to go back and try some suicide runs at 1.85VGpu to see if there is anything left in the core.

[Supertim0r]

you don't have heatsinks on the voltage regulators ?

[LexDiamonds]

you don't have heatsinks on the voltage regulators ?

no... In my experience, sinking everything on the card doesnt do much.

[spajdr]

are you running 1.5-1.55 vgpu ?

Does it matter, if his temperature dont got over 57C? im just saying, its not problem with temperature, but with voltage. At least it was mine problem when i got AGP version of X800Pro@XT pencil modded, it was hot, but stable.

I get blank screen @ 1.52v+ after a few loop of 3dmark01 nature
1.51v- = no problem
I beleive the card have something like a "throttle" with the temp/voltage...
every cards are different so some will tolerate high temps some won't

[spajdr]

KITT: that sapphire x850xt pe bios with vivo I disabled ... does it have set default higher vcore voltage? then this bios?

Could be, just like some CPUs dont like higher temp

Thank you

Sorry, but I think supertim0r made that BIOs. I havent tried it yet.

However, i doubt the voltage is different. It only has tighter memory timings

Hey I haven't made any bios lol
I only edit the stock Sapphire X850XT PE bios by disabling the ViVo function

[spajdr]

hehe, i guess i will stick with bios that just enabled 16pipes, since at thursday ... it will comes ... sapphire again .. but X1800XL

Anyone have any idea why I can't get picture on a TV when using the adapter? It's the DVI one...none of those work or anything. =\

Here's my c3d GTO @ ~600/600. Stock cooler @ 100% fan speed w/ no vmods. 7232 3dmark05

Nice clocks man...I'm jealous...:P

[JimmyHa]

Thank you, your posts on overclockers.com forum made me pull the trigger on this one. Man 3 shy of 7k :-(

[Okda]

so is this C3D GTO @ monarch can be unlocked for sure or not 100% success

and from the product number @ monarch i guess this card is the same @ newegg

Broke 6800 in 3D Mark 05 today, card on stock cooling

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1408655

Tested at 605/609 MHz at 1.48 V VGPU, memory unmodded with stock cooler. No artifacts for 2 hours



Some pics:





Now aiming for 8k+ with an opty + watercooling
