x1600xt Out now! any one OC it?

[sabrewolf732]

wow 1.84v =O

[althes]

The card is ready is die

[STEvil]

what program are you using for overclocking, SAV? If its ATI Tool, what exact version? Maybe its just 0.25-13 thats no good..

[DrJay]

10560 in '03 was at 685x1242 clocks...

New results with Vmem(Vdd) mod + more Vgpu:

2006: not tested yet

Good jod S_A_V!
You've still got a ways to go to catch me in '01 though.
Getting close in '03. Ya got me in '05....I have an unpublished 6100 from about 4-5 weeks ago.
I ran some tests in '01 at 756Mhz with only 1.58 Vgpu, so hopefully I can get a little more speed outta this card in the near future.

ATi tool won't work for the memory. Even just uusing it for the gpu I get random lockups when benching. Try the OC tool, it can be a pain in the @rse but it works.

[mefistofelis]

Told you guys the 128mb x1600Pro's are XTs in disguise

Awesome results, SAV

Why cant the 256 reach the same speeds?

Most 256mb PROs (most all PROs, really) have 2.5ns DDR2.

[S_A_V]

I use RivaTuner 2.0 RC 15.8.
Tried OC tool (Overclocker-x1k), but got poor memory overclock with it (~1200MHz vs ~1300MHz with RivaTuner)... OC tool changes memory clock+timings. RivaTuner do not touch the timings.

No mine has ddr3

OC Tool locks me up. Thanks for info on atitool though.

Will give it a go, thx!


Need some upgraded cooling on it too lol.. all stock still

lol, palit X1600Pro 128Mb 2.0ns - #1 1600-series single-card !!!

Poor result in '06 - just not enough memory... textures swapping from 128Mb vram to 512Mb ram, and then from ram to hdd. May be I'll re-run '06 with 2*512 later.

[GOESA]

Wow nice S_A_V amazing done!

[Shinuza]

Anyone tested this with cold?

[sabrewolf732]

ahahah your sig is funny!

i got slightly better 06 score with x1600pro 256M than that palit x1600 128M..
so 06 needs vram.. and lots of it..

[perkam]

06 is cpu dependent...I'm sure if you compare sm2 and sm3 scores it scores higher...

WAS #1......new #1: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8902453

783Mhz @ 1.6 Vgpu


EDIT: palit X1300Pro?? That'll be #1 forever!!!!

Good fps in nature!
I have 196.5 at 800/1323 and other tests runs at 830, but nature freeze at 45-46 sec if gpu clock > 800MHz

EDIT: palit X1300Pro?? That'll be #1 forever!!!!

oops... fixed.

[DrJay]

32.3K in '01: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8902533

S_A_V: 1323 on you memory is awesome! congrats. Do you have the mem chips sinked, or do they not even need it? lol @ the X1300 Pro....couldn't resist....sorry.

EDIT: The above run was at 800c / 837m - 1.65 to 1.66 Vgpu.

[S_A_V]

Congrats on 32k DrJay!

Do you have the mem chips sinked, or do they not even need it?

Mem chips sinked with Zalman aluminium sinks (from VF800-Cu package), but I think it's not help too much - chips stay cool with or without sinks.
Also I use Zalman heatsinks at mosfets + 2x80-мм fans (both sides of card).

[STEvil]

rivatuner works pretty good for overclocking the mem, though I cant adjust the voltage... seems my cards memory does ok too. Will run 850 in a hot sealed case 24/7.. can bench at 900+ but bad artifacts (may be less with lower temps).

[caater]

got a new cpu and couldn't resist to bench one 2k1 before letting my x1600 go.
card is palit x1600pro golden and comes with 128M 1.4ns ram.
i was actually amazed how far the mem overclocks. 900 and 900+ was artifacting, but benchable.
i always ran nature first and got dozens of lockups just after nature was done and before desktop was visible again. if i would've read this thread carefully earlier, i'd have benched the rest of test with higher clocks though..
so i benched at those clocks.. vgpu was quickly penciled and was ~1,64v
cpu was at 24/7 settings.
couldn't publish score (cpu speed variation error) and also didn't kinda care because i was in a hurry.
but it's a sheer demonstration of conroe power

[massman]

yes, indeed, conroe power

You CL run is bloody high
