Nice job with the clocks!

Now lets see you switch the stock cooler and break 20k 3dmark03

[Viss]

Me local pc-store wil get 1 X1800XT tomorrow and guess who bought it Will be a nice weekend!

heheheh, congrats man, GL with the new card!, were all loving our's!

Well things ae looking a bit better for me. After reading a fair lot of posts here on XS, ive pretty much got it nailed now.

using the Tool to oc and set the fan speed, and checking clocks with ATI-tool and changing volts.

Just did an 05 run ar 708/819 actual clocks, i upped the fan speed to 4000RPM, and upped the Vcore to 1.3, got 9881, which iam pretty pleased with, goal is 10k. http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1502128

So what is stock volts on these cards then for sure?

breaking 20k is pretty easy

So what exactly is the exact default voltage on the card? And is ATITool reading the proper voltage for the memory as well on the card? Is it possible that there is a 2D voltage and a 3D voltage?

This is my 05 score with stock CPU speeds. Card was at 690/800

what CAT drivers you using ugp ?

I haven't touched the mem voltages as bit confused what is for what ? there' s 2 mem voltages

1. MVDDC = core voltage of mem chips
2. MVDDQ = voltage of memory output buffers

when should either or both be increased ?

I just ran through 05 twice at 715/846 and it gave me lower scores than the post above, that had lower memory clocks.

No memory artifacts at 846.

EDIT: Even with 722/846 i cannot reach the score i got at 715/828???

I am using v5.11s

I tried getting my Sandy to do 3GHz and it was a no go...temps are fine but I don't think it has what it takes to do it with only 1.65 Volts to it...and I don't want to push it any further than that.

I am going to give reflashing my BIOS on motherboard a try and see if I can get some stable 24/7 clocks. I am very CPU limited here.

Unless someone has a nice Opty they would like to give me
