X1800 Xl = Wow!

[vassmar]

I recommend it

Then the VS-F7 it is, thanks

sorry for the n00b question, but where can I change voltages with atitool beta10? a screenshot would help..

[spajdr]

looks like Quake IV can finely run for me at gpu 680Mhz, but when i run FEAR full version, it gives me bigger white blocks randomly appearing on screen, only fix was decreasing gpu voltage to 1.2V so 640Mhz is without errors. I modded watercooling a little and now i got 35C idle and 44C under load (640Mhz) :-)
For sure, it doesnt matter if i got 80C with zalman under load or 50C with watercooling (700Mhz) i didnt get better results, just better temperature and silence.

Yo, my results in overclocking X1800XL from sapphire is
670 for Core - 1.320v
730 for Mem - 2.1v

end the results in 3DMark 2005 is 9877pts



I think I can reach 10K but I have to try harder

Lucky man. Wish I could get my core that high without artifacting.

[scampi]

it would be beautiful can flash 1800XL bios with 1800XT bio..I look that the core of XL can run at 625mhz, but the memory can't run at 750mhz (XT frequency)..memory of XL often don't arrived at 700mhz..
exists any XT bios modded with frequency at 625 for core and 600-650mhz for memory?(because XL's memory can't run at XT frequency)

it would be beautiful to make recognize to the system 1800XL as a 1800XT, then with core frequency@default at 625mhz

[spajdr]

Lucky man. Wish I could get my core that high without artifacting.

I can get that too without artifacting, but not in games (FEAR)
its weird.

[deathman20]

Ok who has the highest XL on 03 and 05 marks posted?? I don't know if Fugger has the one up there if thats XL or XT but that other guy boble76 who's that?

Otherwise I think I got the crown For both since no one puts if its either a XL or XT half the time grrrr.

[deathman20]

Well not sure if its a top score or what with the XL's but I'd be damn amazed if it is. Because im no where near optimized either, just slapped drivers in there, no tweaking in CCC, just what ever is default. And theres still crap running in the background.

3D Mark 03: 18091

Edit: Well its high, forgot Viper and his uber modded card... hehe

[EZClock]

Excellent scores Deathman! All air too .. .

[deathman20]

Excellent scores Deathman! All air too .. .

Thx ya all on air I'm quiet happy with them hehe. Now if I could only use more voltage I'd be a happy man. Get my core up to 680+ easily since my voltage limit is holding me back.

Wish it was a fix on the card that could do that.

[jordi23]

ok guys, I reached 10K in 3DM2005

here it is :


card was running on 670 core 770 mem (Sapphire X1800XL )

1.350v for core 2.3 mem VDD 2.0v VDDQ

so now I have the highest score ???
I think I deserve

[Charles Wirth]

Grats on the 10K. Im a jordan fan as well.

I pushed the 1.4ns stuff to 1900Mhz and I know 1800Mhz is benchable with cooling.

[G H Z]

Wow nice one jordi, on a 3000 no less

Big time memory clocks via ATI Tool. I could run mine past 900Mhz with overclocker but the best it would do with ATI Tool was 715. You still need a couple hundred points to reach the top

[jordi23]

thx for grats,

hey do you now how to change cooling to make it more effective.
I did my 10K score on stock fan, but I put my case to the opened window
and opened one side as well. As you imagine this is not comfortable.
I wait for arctic cooling silencer for X1800 series but market time possibly December..

[Charles Wirth]

I have a zalman 700cu on mine.

Its not cold yet here in Las Vegas, I think its in the lower 60F's here

[jordi23]

I'm from Poland, and we have winter in here

[deathman20]

Fugger... Did you have any issues with your core on the XL taking higher voltage? Did you happen to mod it in any way besides giving it a new cooler?

I'd love to take my core higher but for some reason I hit a voltage wall, at least I thought I did. We had the same core numbers at least but I know OC is all up in the air but I'd think at least the voltage it would take should be the same.

Loads temps is not an issue since its in the mid 50's.

Congrats

Have you tried gaming at that speed or is it just 3d mark stable? Whats your 24/7 stable speed?

[jordi23]

I've tried Fear and Call of Duty 2 and was stable.
Normally for gamming I use 650 core and 720mem

jordi23: That is a great stable speed. How are your temps after gaming like that for a while?

Deathman20: I am not sure how Futuremark shows their rankings, but I have a 10088 posted (and labeled) using the 5.11 drivers. The 5.12's are neeting me roughly 225 points on all benches so I am sure I can hit 10250. That is only 3D05 stable. Mainly CPU bound. I have to overclock my X2 4400 to 2700. I can get it to boot at 2800 easily, but the bench fails during the CPU tests. Not a heat problem - just a divide by zero problem. I am weary of applying more volts.

If I had a little more overclocking skill and knowledge I am sure I could do better. Even on air.

[deathman20]

Jordi23: Nice stable clock. Guess your memory starts artifacting more and more over time with higher temps? I know mine started doing that after periods of time.

Only 10088 score I see showing all drivers and that for the X1800's was a ThickBrit and that was an XT pulling 722/810. I think Futuremark has some screwed up results because im seeing more and more results now above my score that where posted earlier then mine.

What so what you really running your X2-4400 at just the 2.4Ghz in your sig or the 2.7Ghz you mentioned? What type of cooling you running? What voltage? I was just able to squeeze 2.7Ghz out of mine runs on the very high end in benches of 48C but otherwise max I've been able to get it was 46 for a split second doing 3D Renderings. Its stable too but ya im sitting in the same boat as you, I can get 2.8ghz to run, in windows and all but throw a bench at it, and say hello to BSOD (god been a long time since I seen that screen).

I'm just glad I got 2.7 since thats what I really wanted at least.

XL can't work with XT bios (625mhz/750mhz), because memory of XL often doen't arrive at 700mhz, true?

so it need a XT bios modded (625mhz for the core and 600-650mhz for the memory) to flash XL card..

It can arrive at the 700Mhz just need more volts 2.150V seems to be a spot where most are able to hit the 700Mhz barrier.

But what we just need is an editor to make our own bios. I'd love to have one that just sets mine to 630/720 right at boot, with my custom voltages thats needed for it.

Since everyone seems to take different voltage for similar clocks I'd like it that way more then anything.

but XL at 750mhz of memory very often doen't arrive, so flash XL with XT bios isn't possible..

yes, it would be also beautiful for me to set frequency in bios (for example 625/650)..so when I turn on the pc, this frequency are just that without need to use utility (atitools, overclockers..)
I would like to set frequency in bios, or flash XL bios with another with frequency more high

there is 2 possibility:
1-someone create a XL bios modded with frequency more high (for example 625 mhz for the core and 600-650mhz for the ram)

2-someone create a editor to make our own bios
