Hello all,

So far I got 611 gpu and 711 mem from CCC overdrive.
Where temp about 90C at testing and it runs stable.
All with the last ATI drivers.

Is it normal?

What else can help to get better performance out of x1900GT?

ATI Tools doesn't work with x1900 :-(
RivaTuner doesn't show much info

What other tools do you use with x1900?

Thanks.

You need the updated ATI Tool version for maximum compatibility. It's not in the website, check ATI Tool forums at techpowerup.

How in the hell is an X1900GT doing so well??? I barely break 9000 in 3DMark05 with my X1800XL clocked at 675core/600mem and my CPU at 2.5GHz. Could the GDDR speed make that much of a difference??

Could you run a game benchmark like the built in FEAR benchmark maybe?? I think it's in the demo also. I'd like to know how the overclock translates to game performance.

would you give me the link for newer ATI Tools? Please.
I checked the techPowerUp and wasn't not able to find any new beta that works with 6.6

thanks

My X1900GT has 36 shader pipes and is running at 720mhz core and 863mhz RAM...

Please tell me the settings for FEAR, as well as HQ, etc

Mike, you need to OC that CPU...

Also, be sure to set everything to Performance, end unnecessary tasks, and defragment. My runs were hardly considered optimized...
