Any GTO/GTO2 > 16 pipelines results yet?

**187(V)URD@** · 10-25-2005, 08:48 AM

Can everyone include a post with wich drivers they benched (eg: 5.10 ccc or cp)
And post a link or attach the bios they used.

Edit:

Some questions about Ati benching:

-Do you guys set all aplication controlled or is there a way to set everything disbabled? I know some ati drivers could.
-CCC or CP?
-what about catalyst future ai with benching and gaming?

Btw; i think i flashed wrong bios, mine says x850pro :o

thx

There is a Sapphire X800GTO AGP out there now. Does any body know what core its using R423 or R480 and if its modable to 16 pipes.

BTW, when ATITool shuts down your system, what happens exactly? Testing for max core, at 600 exactly my screen goes black and the system becomes unresponsive. Weird thing is, if I set the core to 615 or slightly higher manually, my rig will complete 3DM05 without issue.

exactly this happens.....screen goes black.

Unfortunately my GTOÂ² like most of available in France sux at stock cooling, most of it ran at ~520MHz for the core, RAM perform well as usual

Looks like the lite retail boards got average R480

More CPU speed would get me around 7400 i think

EHm. lol i get 7145 with 580/576. Connect3D GTO 16pipes. No modds.

mine does the same... it there any chance to get some artifacts instead of having the screen shut down?

"The VCore regulator chip has a built-in overcurrent protection feature which shuts the card down, if a certain amount of current draw is exceeded"

what's the point... we just have to bypass this feature

It's the same that the well known X850

Same one we've been looking at. The IGPU mod deals with overvoltage protection.

**Supertim0r** · 10-25-2005, 02:40 PM

damn...I should have done this vmod

**LexDiamonds** · 10-25-2005, 03:16 PM

I am getting some strange results with my Vmodded gto2...

Before the mod, I had 600/600 %100 stable based on looping 3dmark, playing FEAR for 6 hours, etc. This is on watercooling. Load temps were 40ish.

Did the Vgpu mod with a VR and set it at 1.60 to start. 650 on the core was a cakewalk. Things seem stable in most apps, but it crashes 3dmark03 randomly in the proxycon test. Just locks up... I dont think OVP is kicking in, but cant figure out what the problem is. Increasing voltage does not help. Temps are under 50 at load, up to 1.75vgpu.

At first, after the mod, the power regulation circuits got real hot, real fast. After putting a fan on it, they never get hotter than the core.

Now I know 3dmark03 is a bit more picky than other apps for max OC, but I am stumped here. Any ideas? I would be satisfied with 650/600 24/7 clocks (core probably has more if I wanted to run >1.65vgpu day to day), but I cant get 3dmark03 stable....

change the clock down a bit, or up a bit, try 1:1. what did u get ur mem to?

I have the same problem too... I had to lower my voltage and clock...i'm buying ViperJohn aircooler and i'll probably perform the IGPU (OVP bypass according to aMp)

I'll confirm for the ovp mod tonight...

Nice clock LexDiamonds

I want to see +600 memory clock

(vdd & vddq are easier than vgpu)

**LexDiamonds** · 10-25-2005, 03:46 PM

Well, 600 on the mem is really about my max. For me, its not worth tweaking mem settings in ati tool for a few more mhz. I was happy with 600. ATI tool would actually cry foul on the memory around 612, but I set it to 600 for day to day stability.

I have always read that vmodding the mem isnt worth it. It can blow up easyily and gains just arent going to be that huge.

I am redownloading 3dmark03- I think I had an old build from when it was first released. I am hoping that will fix my problem. ATI Tool happily ran for an hour @ 650/600 so I am fairly confidant that my OC is not the problem.

Also- regarding the overvolt protection, there seems to be a lot of variance as to when this actually kicks in. Seems to be between 1.75 and 1.9 for most people. At 1.6ish I am nowhere near there.. so again I am thinking that is not the problem. Not to mention that 05 runs just fine (cant loop it to test however).

At 1.75Vgpu, the power regulators get HOT. Word of warning to anyone juicing there card to these levels- be sure you have good cooling on the front top and bottom half of the card (towards the DVI/VGA connectors).

**NickS** · 10-25-2005, 03:47 PM

The shutdown thing happened to me. I was running ATi Tool and my comp shut down. I got wicked scared lol.

My ram still dont OC for

, even w/RAM sinks, or different timings.

**LexDiamonds** · 10-25-2005, 03:53 PM

Nicks, you sig is out of control.....

**~~beta67~~** · 10-25-2005, 05:20 PM

Hey guys I ordered from ATACOM and I am gonna have to cancle. I am looking for a good price on this card

. Can anybody help a man who seems to have bad luck

In a good way or bad way.

Hi beta-

I originally had 3 gto2s on order, one from atacom. I had ordered about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I got the email of doom that said they werent expecting anymore to come in, so I canceled too. I talked to the lady a bit and she was up on the situation saying that x850 sales were getting canabalised and that lots of people had urged sapphire to end production of the gto2.

There are NO cheap deals on the GTO2 anymore. Newegg has them and you would have it in 3 days with no fuss, but they want $275 shipped. Seeing as you can get a 7800GT for $60-70 more, its not that great a deal. Hell, I paid $225 shipped and I am thinking the 7800GT may have been a better choice.

Anyhow- good luck to you in finding one. There very well could be a second supply of these coming down the pipes, but I somehow doubt it.

**LexDiamonds** · 10-25-2005, 06:15 PM

Well, I seem to have sorted out my issues...

I was hellbent at keeping my mem at 600 because its such a nice number, but I had to drop it down to 590 to keep scaling the core. I should have known this from my 9800pro days, but I was stobborn.

On the plus side, I think my core has a good chance of scaling to 680-700 mhz, so the net trade off is a good one.
