First off, Hello.
I purchased a Sapphire 2900PRO 1GB and its great, couple of questions.
I'm running under Vista x64, usuing Rivatunner to overclock and monitor temperatures and voltage.
In 2D the card runs 1.00v and in 3D it runs 1.10v, I've seen others who state their cards run 1.15v in 3D, is this because I'm running 2x6pin PCIe plugs and will running 1x8pin and 1x6pin unlock the 1.15v? Or is this just my BIOS, I've tried another BIOS, ATI XT and same thing happens, will a different BIOS from maybe HIS work?
At 1.10v in 3D I'm at 840 core, stable. But if there is more in her I'd like to try.
Whoa, the bad news is that you're now the second to report only 1.1. The good news is that it's stable at 840 with only 1.1vWhat did you use to test and for how long?
My 1GB is 1.15 using only 6+6 and unstable above 830. Others have 1.2v and can go higher. Interesting that the BIOS change didn't affect it, though it doesn't always of course. Couldn't hurt to try another. Is there a HIS 1GB?
Most people have 512s here so haven't been as many that have flashed 1GBs so there's less definitive info for us. Good luck and let us know how it unfolds.
