Ok, im getting over 60000 in 2001 but i need to up my volts some more & ati tool wont lock in the higher setting 1.2v. is there some trick to this? am i missing something? My card is never going over 65c, im benching in my shed

I'm so coming out there soon!

Heh, iirc it not "locking in" is one of the main probs with AT. Maybe 9 or 10 pages back there was more discussion of this. Think the gist was set clocks first in RT or AGT then the voltage in AT. I'd go find and link you but I have to go move 8 graphics workstations now. Ya know, I got into IT to avoid manual labor.

Hey brotha! Ya man i did the clocks 1st in RT & the went to ATITool to up the volts...this is making me beat my head against the wall. I was chatting with Solarfall(awsome dude) bout all of this & he says he can up the volt & have them stick in ati tool. I was running my cpu clocks @ 3.7 & just got over 60000. His scores are crankn. I think a little bit has to dowith the mobo, but not too much. Tonight im going to bench at 3.8 or higher & see what i can get.

Manual labor sucks..lol...that why im in sales!!

Ps. Just let me know dude, come on out!!

Well we know it's "buggy". As such it's not gonna behave consistently. I'm pretty sure I can get mine to stick, but last time I upped it to 2.0 at 840 fur froze and I haven't tested further as yet.

Just let me know dude, come on out!!

Oh, winter is just getting started...

this is my best 3dmark 05 score so far... 21837 3dmarks

Well fitted the new PSU with a glorious 60A 12v rail

Overdrive has given me 826/900, which I'm VERY happy about. Still need to do more testing, but it does look like the Modstream wasn't enough!

Hmm getting the odd lock up on 3D Mark, not on the GPU tests, but either between tests or CPU tests. Odd......

Hmm so is criminalA, and he suggested that maybe it was the switching of the clocks between tests. Any 3Dmark has yet to lock on me but Fur definitely has as well as ep2 a couple times. I'm actually back at 800/925 for now while I test/monitor it further.

When beching I used to get freezes during 3DMark (at random places). Try lowering the voltage feeding the RAM. Stock mvddc is 2.20. My card can bench at 999Mhz at mvddc 1.875 (maybe lower - haven't tried). 1.875 also fixed the random freezes during 3DMark.

As a bonus, card runs a lot cooler - suggesting that this freezes was due to overheating.

btw, Hynix datasheet says mvddc should be 2.20 for the 1.0ns and 1.1ns ram.

[Draxx]

Does the Whiteout demo work artifact free for you guys?

[WrigleyVillain]

btw, Hynix datasheet says mvddc should be 1.8..

Interesting and thanks! Will definitely try this, especially as I don't need to oc the mem anyway. Why the hell would they set mvddc so high, esp when the cooler apparently doesn't make good contact, if any, with all the mem ICs?

[CrimInalA]

good tip ..

i will def try it out once there is a stable program to change voltages for R600

[roger_h99.nor]

Haven't studied the datasheet for the GDDR4, but this voltage should definitely not be 2.20V.

[WrigleyVillain]

Hell try AT. I'm gonna and if it works and helps temps and stability i'll gladly reset it each boot for now. For this AT might work flawlessly, worth a try.

The max artifact free clock I can get on the core using Whiteout is 771Mhz.

What about you lot?

I'll run it tonight! Actually, thanks, I forgot about those

You need Vista in case you don't know

[WrigleyVillain]

Oh, just DX10 demos. Guess that makes sense.

[Draxx]

Its the only thing I get artifacts in.

[nickless]

Allmost 77k score in 3d Mark 01, but I can't get it. This is max of my CPU.

[WrigleyVillain]

Stock mvddc is 2.20

Well the voltage inconsistencies are becoming more consistent

My stock mvdcc is 1.55v. 2D or 3D.

[CrimInalA]

you've got DDR4 mate

[Martin.v.r]

i got 1.00v to gpu 2900PRO 512MB

hmm

[Pantacle]

Now, I am understanding, that everybody don`t know how I can do softvoltmod on 2900pro.
I am need know, how I can edit ready bios from 2900pro/xt?
