NEW x1900xt Clock speeds normal?

[LOUISSSSS]

from newegg... aren't the clock speeds for a stock ATi x1900xt 625/1450?
my current clock speeds out of the box say 500/594... can someone please check to see if this is normal or what the problem is?

also what does the 'requested' box mean from the catalyst control center?

There is no problem. It clocks down for 2D, when you go 3D (such as a game) it clocks up. Same as NV cards do.

 

[LOUISSSSS]

so.. 500/594 is underclocked... whats it supposed to be at?

That means it's normal.

You don't understand, It's SUPPOSED to be underclocked in 2d mode. If you try to put it to 3d speeds in 2d mode you'll get artifacts like crazy, because 2d mode supplies less voltage to the card, therefore making it produce less heat, therefore making it quieter for typing etc. For games it goes up to the rated clockspeeds, for high performance in games. Don't try to overclock the 2d mode, if you want to overclock just do 3d. Of course, if your letters don't pop up on the screen fast enough you could try to overclock 2d

I'd check out your clock speeds while running 3D apps. My X1900 XT wasn't changing automatically, until I unlocked ATI Overdrive and selected the preserve at logon option.

 

[LOUISSSSS]

how do i overclock the 3d mode instead of 2d?

 

[LOUISSSSS]

does unlocking the overdrive part of the ATI control center void warranty? will changing those clock speeds void ati warranty?

 

[AzNPinkTuv]

do you not read? IT will CHANGE back when ur running something that uses 3d.... all ATI and NV cards do that now...

 

[LittleNemoNES]

The ATI OC option applies only to 3d. Just pick xtx speeds and let it be...since you know little.
