SINGLE 1950PRO OC......

vgpu STD 1.225V VMEM 1.8V 620/1600

[Ivanqu]

x1950pro CROSS FIRE~~~

[Miwo]

so what is so special about this MSI version again Perkam? Aside from the dual slot cooler

I dont think these cards are going to truly shine until we get the right OC Tools to push Vcore. Speaking of Vmods....

That looks awfully similar layout......despite being x1900GT v2 . Ivan, willing to try it out?

You better not be referring to that digital vibrance or "vivid" technology...

can u do a game stress test result with overclock and no overclock? i want to see if there is any boost in performance with the overclock, any game please.
fear css lost coast any game. just talking single card here but if u have the time crossfire would be nice too.

The default v core 1950pro is 1.225v and vmem is 1.8v
i will test 1950pro 512M and vmod later, so be patient
the oc tools can't change the voltage...i've already tried winclk, atitool and systool ......

the layout of resistances for power supply on 1950pro is different from 1900gt

[Miwo]

Thank you Ivan
Great work on this thread, will keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully with voltage we are going to see some monster OCs!

I dont think you will be able to test them in crossfire, those Asus dont come with the included cable . Its one of the reasons I held back that order =\

I will do a game stress test this week, but i will only use my 1950pro 512M

This card is not for sale in China at this time, i just got this card, but just for a short time i have to pass it to the media, so i'm afaid i won't have time to do a CF test.

try opera or FF

One last request:

Perkam has been beating around the bush about how special this card is due to the drivers. Do you think you could take screenshots of each section that is MSI specific? (D.O.T., MSI VIvid, MSI Video). Thanks Ivan!

Its too bad that the resistor layouts are different, but they are similar. Maybe Shamino will can figure out a new vmod for this

No, you are wrong. Asus just confirmed 2 dongles come in the retail box. This means I will have 4 total. newegg just failed to show them in the pics. I'm glad I bought them. They are all gone.

There is a difference between beating around the bush and try to beat it into people's thick skulls that official support for the ENTIRE line of X1950 products comes with Catalyst 6.10...which isn't out yet.

It's not rocket science...

.....Its computer science

where? almost everything is 100% the same, except those upper right things..
and they are "diffrent" because of diffrent voltages...
GT has 1.1v gpu and pro has 1.28v gpu
and that "line" is for voltge adjustment

OH how I love MSI! I just think I had an MSI-gasm.

That HS/F is kick ass, those cards are beast.

w00t!
