Hmm, ATI TT is not telling me my actual current speeds/voltages. It always says 499.5/594 at 1.2V, even when I'm running 3DMark. I know it IS ramping up the speeds, because I'm getting full scores (6200+) while I was getting 5200 range scores when I'd somehow borked my card into not ramping up...

What I did was using the program called Overclocker from DriverHeaven.net. I bumped each value (Engine Settings: Core Voltage, Memory Settings: Core Voltage and I/O Voltage) by 2 "clicks." That was bumping it to 1.25 Engine Core Voltage and 2.2 Memory Core Voltage and 2.2 Memory I/O Voltage...

I tried 3DMark06 again with everything at High Quality setting, and the artifacting was a bit different, but it was still prevalent and ugly. Any other suggestions?

ah ha! I found it in the system.cfg file. Wow this looks NICE! It's like I'm watching a movie!

hmm, I don't see an r_HDRrendering setting anywhere. Where do you find it? I've looked through the "Video options (advanced) customize" dialog and not seen it.

I tried playing Far Cry today at absolute maximum settings (it was preeeety, though only around 30fps while outside, and even less in dense jungle). It looked perfect, no artifacts, except in one place. On the carrier ship in the first level, there were two places where it looked like a...

No, the artifacts didn't start showing up until after I got my fan to run faster when the card got hot. Could that cause artifacting?

Before I discovered the ATI Tray Tools, my fan wasn't ever ramping up to speed for 3D apps, and my card was reaching 80C+ acording to Control Center (even without OCing). I OCed it to 680 core, 801 ram, as per a suggestion of the card's OC capabilities in another thread. I think I also bumped...

Hery Guys, I was hoping that you could let me know if there's anything I can do about an issue with my X1900XTX that just came up. In 3DMark06, on the Canyon Chase and Deep Freeze benchmarks, I start getting really nasty artifacting about half way through. It looks like textures are being...

It worked! I used Driver Cleaner like you said, and reinstalled Catlyst 6.9. I got 6243 3DMarks. I left Control Center open on my second monitor, and it was reporting my GPU temps in the high 70C/low 80C range though! I couldn't hear my fan powering up at all. Are those temperatures safe??

I'll give that a try, thanx! BTW, I did a search on the forum (new and archived articles) and I couldn't find more than a handful articles that even mentioned the x1900xtx in passing. I searched for "x1900xtx" "x1900 xtx" and "xtx" (all without quotes), and only ended up with like 5 total...

Any idea how to undo whatever I did to get it stuck at 500/600? When I first installed it, I messed with ATI Overdrive in Control Center, but all I did was unlock it, and press the "automatic detection" button. That crashed my machine... lol. That's probably what it is, but how do I fix that...

Hi all, This is kindof a continuation of my post about low 3dmark scores, but I'm pretty sure I've discovered the problem, so it's no longer about my scores. I've read on numerous tech sites that the X1900XTX runs at 650MHz core and 775MHz RAM, but mine is running at 500MHz core, and 594MHz...

I think I figured out the problem. My Radeon x1900xtx seems to be clocking itself at 500mhz core, 594mhz RAM. Isn't it supposed to be 650Mhz core, 775Mhz RAM? I tried clocking it up to those settings with ATI Tray Tools, and the fan suddently went from silent to loud as hell, and then my...

Ok, so I went into the Control Center and set the settings as gersson said, then close it and end-tasked Control Center. Then I ran 3DMark06 and I still got 5214 points. 1922 SM2.0 2170 HDR/SM3.0 2442 CPU What the heck could be giving me such terrible scores? I'll try Catalyst 6.6 and...
