2900 Pro Owners Thread

I did some testing today and:
XT BIOS


PRO BIOS


Looks like PRO BIOS is faster! Reason why I did run XT BIOS @980 memory is because it was slower @1035MHz!

You can also compare it to run with slower CPU on PRO BIOS and same core/mem freq.



So I'm back on PRO for now and looking for recent XT BIOS!

PS. I did try atiflash -p 0 xt.bin -newbios -f and it didn't changed voltages ...

Explanation of that could be that the XT is looser timings to run higher speeds like it should be. If you matched XT speeds it would probably be doing better.

On XT BIOS I noticed more very short look ups and shattering during 3D Mark session and it reacted with even more look ups after PCIe speed increase. On PRO BIOS though 3DMark is much smoother and card likes higher PCIe.
