Testing X1950 Master ~82k in 01 aircooled

[Kinc]

I started testing the X1950 Master card yesterday and have to say that I am impressed by the gain it has to offer just by higher memory bandwidth on the compiling master card. Atm I don't have a X1950XTX card (getting it back the coming week) just in time for some solid gpu-mousepots. So I had to use a X1900XTX.

X6800 @ 4679MHz (-90C)
X1950Master @ 681/1143MHz
X1900XTX @ 681/870MHz (the mem on this card is just terrible)

The ambient temp was over 24C (the cascade for the cpu is warming up the room).





Cpu can du over 5GHz for 3D with liqiud nitrogen. Gpus can do above 900MHz without vmod single on a -95C cascade.

Nice Work

What the hell you wainting for ?

Cant get any LN atm. Will be able to refill next week or the one after that.

Lookin good. Seems like the gains are definitely showing in nature...even with the slave running so slow. The other tests though look pretty "normal" for the clocks, drags included. Two X1950's should be monstrous.

[Kinc]

Actually if you compare to perdo and rickys results on much higher gpu and also cpu there clearly are some gains in all tests that are equally gpu and cpu dependent. Maybe it is Catalyst 6.8.

Nice Can you possibly show memory timings with rivatuner or rabit?

i smell a 90K combo for sure

Nice Kinc, got the memory clocking for x1950 working yet?

[SIOUX]

Very nice Kinc cant wait for 2x1950 results

[Pedro Rocha]

Very promising indeed, has I expect the extra memory bandwith helps .

Cant wait to get my hands on two of these


@Kinc : could you please post the compare URL ?

The X1950 aint supported by the ORB yet

[DataNusse]

Looks great, hope you get a second X1950(XTX) soon.

Lycka till.

Great work Kinc!!

I'm gonna go grab 40 litres, should be nice for a weekend

[massman]

This should be well enough for some Wr's and 90k+

[maxxxpct]

beautiful result kinc. we wait for the next one then week end

[blind_ripper]

nice to know tha X1950 will work in CF with X1900
btw kinc what did u use this time to oc the cards ?

[GLENBOY]

hi kinc what performance percentage increase would you say the x1950 mixed with an x1900 crossfire has over a normal x1900 crossfire (2 cards) in say 3d05 and 01, thanks

The X1900 is oced from bios and the x1950 master is oced with winclk.

Interesting, thanks for share.. i was ask me if this will be possible make this match and how it will work.. i plan take a X1950 Master and put my X1900XTX in sys, and then take a second X1950 before plan switch fot DX10 card when needed..

Wow.. rarely see the X1900XTX take 870mhz memory on air.. nice card you have there.

I was wondering if there is a way to keep tight timings except ati tool beta 15 which obviously doesn't work well yet with these cards

[Niemiec]

looking forward to see new WR on this rig

No the problem is in the drivers or in the bios. All tools use the same driver-level clock setting. Not like beta 14 that changes the actuall clock on the card.
