    Saaya, how can check mem without taking heatsink off?

    dont think thats possible... well maybe theres something about this in the bios... some hint or note what chips are used... not sure how to find it in case it exists. the metal plate on the mem on my card is glued with a stick tape, but after heating it up with a hairdryer i could slowly pull it off bit by bit.

    sure saaya.....since now I just installed on the mobo (DFI X38) for a review....and they run stock speed...all I have to say they're really cool....about 30-32 deg @ idle after a 3dmark....stock cooling....

    will go for water cooling later

    Tonight I'll check frequency for a small clock-session

    is it right if I use the automatic test inside CCC to determine max freq. ?

    had some test tonight...having both cards installed but Crossfire disabled.1st card is gonna work at about 800/1040.....mhz +-

    just tested with atitool and some 3dmark01 session....

    seems not bad for GPU, quite low for mem...

    unfortunately ati tool recognizes second card, but if you set GPU @....some frequency, then after yuo press apply or ok, ti automatically gets back to his default....

    im sure you will notice for crysis and other demanding games you cant run 800 gpu
    what happens at memclocks above 1040? you gt artifacts? in 2k1?
    well rivatuner works fine for me so why should i fight with atitool to get it working? ill wait for the beta that enables vgpu adjustments

    Sapphire uses Qimonda and why do you say it is unlocked? I cant seem to figure out how to oc this card hardly at all.

    1) CCC only allows to 720Mhz



    2) ATI tool crashes the system if I oc even 1 mhz (beta 4)

    3) Riva says the driver is not supported:



    Therefore only low level tweeks available:

    i dont' play...just bench...

    ram@1040 are really on the borderlimit....but I have to test again...was too tired yesterday to test as I should.

    I think I'll put one card at a time and clock it...then see if i can flash and run them in CF
