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 RAM. What the heck?
I tried clocking it to 650/775 with ATI Tray Tool, and it just caused my fan to speed up to super-loud and my system to lock. I rebooted to prevent any damage, and I've been afraid to mess with it since.
I've run 3DMark06 several different times, with Catalyst 6.6 and 6.9, and with and without Control Center installed. Every time I get around 5200 points, which is over 1000 less than people with systems nearly identical to mine.
