512MB HIS X1800XT PCI-E adventure

[Charles Wirth]

I was able to push the XL memory hard by increasing the cpu voltage, this is not the same on the XT.

I need to connect the XL to some cold and go for a decent score but it is in my gamer connected to my new 32" HD display. unreal NFSMW gaming, wide screen owns for racing games.

[eva2000]

Interesting with upped GPU on mine can get mem to 801 easier

32" HD display


3Dmark2003
with cpu stock

@621/747 = 16,368
@708/801 = 17,698

[ugp]

Well I have a Sony 42" HDTV I can hook mine to so :p

[eva2000]

makes my 20.1" BenQ FP2091 look small LOL

[ugp]

I can't get the Res to show up right on it though...I am using a DVI-to-HDMI Cable.

How sweet is this for 512MB HIS X1800XT on stock heatsink air

Opteron 146 CAB2E 0540FPMW @10x280HTT = 2800mhz at stock vcore
2x 512MB Gskill PC4400LE @280mhz 2.5-3-3-6 7-14-2222

3dmark05
@621/747 = 9,235
@708/801 = 10,163

3dmark2003
@621/747 = 17,707
@708/801 = 19,169

[ugp]

Ok this is my results... Very strange to me..

CPU @ 250x11.0 Mem @ 250x5 @ 2.5-3-3-6-2T

Core voltage was set with ATITool @ v1.375

3DMark01SE Results:

@ 708/792: 32,964
@ 708/801: 32,831 <--Went Lower
@ 708/825: 33,143 <--Ok alittle higher
@ 708/846: 32,984 <--Back down again??
@ 708/846: 33,334 <--Went alittle back up *I had ran this one twice*

More than 708 on core at v1.375 it locks up during Nature Test.

[mrlobber]

eva, have you changed voltages or that "stock heatsink air" essentially means "stock heatsink, stock vgpu & vmem air"?

And how's the overall feel of the card, compared to the 7800GTX 256Mb?

that is 3d2k1's low car bug it can vary from runs by upto 220pts so within normal range... probably more accurate to set 3d2k1 to loop each test 3 times to get to a final score averaging 3 runs

at 2800mhz at stock 621/747 i got 3d2k1 = 35,570

708mhz needs 1.375v

it is faster than my stock heatsink air 256MB BFG 7800GTX in benchies so far..

[ugp]

Oh shush....you and your Opty! LoL

I am trying 715/855 again with v1.400 on the Vgpu

[ugp]

Lock up again at 715/855 v1.400 on the core

No matter what I still score higher with ATI CCC at 690/800 than I do with clocks I set with OverClocker.

[eva2000]

try dropping ram down to 802 and see what happens

[ugp]

I have...still nothing..those RAM settings are fine because I have ran them with lower core clocks...and scores were still really low..

I don't understand this whole Overclocker..setting clocks...checking them in ATITool...stuff. I think I will wait for any really further overclocking until ATITool is completely fixed and ready to use. In the past it has always worked great for overclocking my older ATI Cards.

EDIT:

Have you ran AquaMark3 yet and see what you get in that?

Although AquaMark3 will not finish it keeps crashing on me...I do not know why...never had an issue with it before..

Also to add..

This is what I got in 3DMark03.

CPU @ 2.75

1800XT @ 690/800

[eva2000]

see my first post again for 5 step run down of properly clocking with X1800XT it works

Opteron 146 CAB2E 0540FPMW @10x300HTT = 3000mhz at 1.408V
2x 512MB Gskill PC4400LE @272mhz 2.5-3-3-6 7-14-2222

3dmark05
@621/747 = 9,287
@708/801 = 10,221

3dmark2003
@621/747 = 17,945
@708/801 = 19,449

Aquamark3
@621/747 = 98,100
@708/801 = 101,262

[igor0203]

nice result eva! when will you get some DI on card?

[Viss]

Nice result and great topic Good to have al the info in TS. Hope me X1800XT wil be here soon.

[eva2000]

i've never touched DI..all my video cards have only ever been on air

lastest done is at 715/882

[eva2000]

Well here's where i am now

setting 2D clock in X1800 Oc'ing tool higher in same windows session and got:

650mhz = 648mhz real GPU 3D clock
660mhz = 654mhz real GPU 3D clock
670mhz = 668mhz real GPU 3D clock
680mhz = 675mhz real GPU 3D clock
685mhz = 681mhz real GPU 3D clock
690mhz = 688mhz real GPU 3D clock <-- had to increase and fix fan speed from 31% to 100%
700mhz = 695mhz real GPU 3D clock (upped GPU volt from 1.275v stock to 1.325v in ATI Tool - shows at 1.35v in OC'ing tool)
702mhz = 702mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.35v ATI Tool)
703-708mhz = 702mhz real GPU 3D clock
710mhz = 708mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.375v ATI Tool)
711-715 = 708mhz real GPU 3D clock
716mhz = 715mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.4v ATI Tool)
717-723mhz = 715mhz real GPU 3D clock
724mhz = 722mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.425v ATI Tool)
730mhz = 729mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.425v ATI Tool)
740mhz = 735mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.425v ATI Tool)
745mhz = 742mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.425v ATI Tool)
750mhz = 749mhz real GPU 3D clock (1.425v ATI Tool)

same goes for mem clocks in X1800 Oc'ing tool

780mhz = 774mhz real mem 3D clock
800mhz = 792mhz real mem 3D clock
810mhz = 810mhz real mem 3D clock
820mhz = 819mhz real mem 3D clock
830mhz = 828mhz real mem 3D clock

840mhz = 837mhz real mem 3D clock - (artifacts when GPU voltage is stock but at 1.375v GPU volts no artifacts even though mem volts are still untouched at stock! )

850mhz = 846mhz real mem 3D clock (1.375v GPU ATI Tool)
860mhz = 855mhz real mem 3D clock (1.375v GPU ATI Tool)
870mhz = 864mhz real mem 3D clock (1.375v GPU ATI Tool)
880mhz = 873mhz real mem 3D clock (1.375v GPU ATI Tool)
890mhz = 882mhz real mem 3D clock (1.375v GPU ATI Tool)
900mhz = 900mhz real mem 3D clock (1.375v GPU ATI Tool) - artifacts


Question is GPU voltage of 1.425v in ATI Tool too much for stock X1800XT heatsink with fan speed set on 100% ? It idles at 47-51C @749/882





Dam local thunderstorms in the area so shutting down unecessary pc activity so this is where I am for tonight

Opteron 146 CAB2E 0540FPMW @10x310HTT = 3100mhz at 1.536v
2x 512MB Gskill PC4400LE @282mhz 2.5-3-3-6 7-14-2222

3Dmark05
@621/747 = 9,321
@750(749)/890(882) = 10,915

and pulled of 3Dmark2003 @3000mhz
@735/882 = 20,328

[ugp]

Very nice man. Keep going. I will continue my testing as well.

[Hicks]

Jesus EVA, how are you clocking so dam high on stock? Guess ill up the fan speed, and up the volts then.

[eva2000]

thanks yeah it's a nice clocker but the question remains, is GPU voltage of 1.425v in ATI Tool too much for stock X1800XT heatsink with fan speed set on 100% ? It idles at 47-51C @749/882

seems 1.425v GPU volts is where things just started flying oc'ing wise

[ugp]

I am going to have to try that as well. Let me disable services and I will start giving it hell! LoL

Will too high on Mem give you a hard lock as well?

[eva2000]

haven't experienced any hard locks yet... 890mhz (882mhz real) mem is max stable

895(891) and 900(900) mem clocks give me artifacts

[ugp]

Ok then when I get a hard lock it is my core. Thanks.

Yeah I had tried 900 on the Mem once and got Artifacts LoL really bad and had to reboot.

[ugp]

Ok tested some more I got hard lock at 749 @ v1.425. So it seems you may have a better clocker than I do here. I was able to do 730 @ v1.425 though.

Edit: Trying 750 @ v1.450....

Only clocked CPU @ 200x11..0 at the moment though so score seems alittle low...

I got this at 742/846 in 3DMark01 (755 was a no go on v1.450)

29,213

I am going to test all my GPU overclocks first at Stock CPU speeds for now on and then switch it over to 2.75 for high scores.

Has anyone else had an issue with clicking on the restore default clocks with OverClock that you lose video feed?
