I don´t understand my x1800xl.

I ran HDR demo (balls flying) for 20minutes at full screen, the core was running at 628mhz 1.225V, no problems and the temperature was 66º )iam using VF700Cu

Then i stoped it and when i went to run the 3dmark2005, it just crashed!! WTF!

Anyway, anothe weird thing, at 600 core with 1.15V y run 4!! times the FEAR benchmark, and during the last one it crashed

I will try more later, by the way. My bios, its a sapphire Bulk x1800xl:

Core:
N21311.00
0536AAY

Bios --> HERE

By the way, i think the card works awesome at 575/1200, and the mem can go much higher than 1200mhz.. for 383€ it cost its a good card, it works colder than my 6800Ultra with the same heatstinks (VF700Cu) and its better of course.

See you

Hi Hitmaker,

What utility did you use to backup your BIOS?

Hi Hitmaker,

What utility did you use to backup your BIOS?

I used the "old" atiflash using this command "atiflash -s 0 backup.rom"

The thing is i have a problem with my drivers, "PnP Bios Extension" is missing and i cannot run ati tray tools, it gives me an error (say something about my mobo bios ) so i cannot compare it with a sapphire x1800xl regular bios i downloaded from mvktech

Strange!!! all sapphire users have bad oc. If u look @ HiS or GeCube its something else. Most will go 1.25v without problems en get core speeds up to 625+. My sapphire will only go 550-750. Memis nice for now but that core sux ass. My X850 XT PE was faster in some cases.

Strange!!! all sapphire users have bad oc.
