480 core?? edit: 620/615 stable

[Nirach]

Just a quicky, I've got mine running via TRIXX at 600/600, and it's all good.

Will do some more when I have the time to figure out ATITool

so far, all looks good!

 

[Nirach]

ATITool doesn't seem to be setting the clock, no clues as to what I'm missing here. Any pointers?

 

[Cruise51]

The "set clock" button. Btw, what kind of overclocks do you get with the Venice & Sapphire motherboard?

 

[Nirach]

Not tried CPU o/cs yet, only just diagnosed my RAM problem

Got the beta 0.25 ATITool, and that's working perfectly.

I'm in the process of writing a review on the sapphire board though, so gimme a day or two to cook that up and I might expand some O/C info too, I'm not sure what to expect really, the Gruber is supposed to be the O/C board, so we'll see

x850pros on agp can be modded to an x850xtpe

 

[Nirach]

Okay, my RAM, 512 due to some problems is bottlenecking the card. the core is at 604 with no errors, the memory gets to about 523/524 and then artifacts show up.

Will resolve the RAM problem and try it again, so far so good though

kinda random question but would the x800 gto fireblade be able to mod to 16 pipes just like the gto2 or connect3D?

heres' link for fireblade Text

thanks

It might I heard something about that somewhere, it does come with a X850XT cooler however.

Only GTO2 & Connect3D GTO unlock . . .

hoping ill be pleasantly surprised

The Fireblade edition has that loud dual-slot cooler of the X850XT but lacks the auxiliary PCI-E power connecter, meaning it won't unlock to X850XT . . .

I have the GTO2, and I noticed it clocks much farther at 12pipes than 16pipes.

At the stock 12pipes my best overclock was 590 core 635 mem (3dmark05 5870)

After unlocking to 16pipes my best o/c is 542 core 595 mem (3dmark05 6360)

Either way it's a monster card for $200

This makes sense to me--you can only overclock it as fast as the slowest pipeline will overclock. The more pipelines, greater chance of having one that's relatively slow, I guess.

thx Sharigan for some hard evidence. May be worth it 2 just oc it like whippersnapper said and use the x850 cooler it has since it runs so hot.

the firblade is 180 US

I got a VGA silencer 5 for the card and it over clocked to 635Mhz Core & 620Mhz ram ^_^ I would like to see a X850Pro PCI-E do that !!!?. I only run it at 600/600 I?m scared of killing it

^_^ i upgraded to this from a 6800Ultra AGP hmmm its a temp card untill i get something better... hehe

 

[Steelski]

i wanna know more about the saphire motherboard.

 

[Cruise51]

Same here. Looks very interesting.

Very nice speeds
It looks like all of these cards easily clock past 600/600.
Btw, how do you like the silencer 5?
