what card do i have? lol

[unkn0wnhacka]

Im confused, i bought this card off newegg and when i go to my order history it doesnt take me to my card. Im not sure which one i bought...

I know its an Sapphire x1800 256mb
I read somewhere its the x1800XL but im so confused lol.. display properties just says x1800 series. What can i do to figure this out ? it was an OEM card.

THANKS

find serial number somewhere on your card, you'll be able to find the answer.

 

[TecHNooB]

My X1800XT has the same clocks as yours. So unless the X1800XLs are clocked the same as the X1800XTs, your card is probably an X1800XT.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

is xt better than the xl?

i ordered the x1800 with 625 core and 1500 memory and i just found out that thats not what i got!

 

[Creig]

It looks like you own an X1800XT. The X1800XL has a Device ID of 7109 and the X1800XT is 7100. Also, your clocks of 600/700 are consistent with those of an X1800XT. The X1800XL is 500/500.

The Vendor ID of 1002 corresponds with ATI Technologies Inc. So it's a BBA (Built By Ati) card.


Hope that helps.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

You got a XT, those are 2d clocks, and the XT is ALOT better than the XL

 

[cmrmrc]

is it a dual slot cooling card?

 

[JBT]

Looks like an XT. Like someone else said those are the 2D clocks. If you look at the "requested" clocks that is what it will run at in 3D Mode.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

i dunno what 2d and 3d clocks are

but newegg said this card was supposed to have 625/1500 what card does those speeds?


edit: sry yeah it does have a 2 slot cooler... that things strong!! blows harder then any fan ive seen on a computer.

 

[martinez]

You have an X1800XT my friend. Enjoy.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

i only paid $239 for it... is that a good deal?

and what ati cards run 625/1500 ? im curious case newegg false advertised me.

Yeah, that was a good deal but if you got the one with the $30 rebate, it would've been a much better deal.

The X1800XT runs at that speed and I think that's the only one that runs at those speeds.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

yeah i cant find the one i bought... the took it off... so basically i got ripped off 25/1000 speeds is it even worth rma'ing it?

 

[JBT]

Again man, those speeds you are looking at are the 2D clocks. The card slows down in 2D cause it doesn't need to run at full 3d Speeds.... In the CCC look for the speeds it has set for "Requested"

o ok.... 2d clock are like desktop and 3d clocks are games... well i never seen the ATI overdrive so i thought i would try it.. it ran and froze at 100% with no cpu power being used so i ended the process.
Heres a screenshot of what it was saying... is the top the core? and the bottom is memory speeds? at one point the core was almost 700 and the memory was still only around 700... does the 747 mean thats aas high as it will go?

I tried to overclock the card with atu tray tools last night and it ran fine without artifacts for 20 minutes... the moment i tried playing a game it would turn the scren black and i would have to reboot... why?

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

now the 3d requested is 689/792 or 689/1584


and its froze again wtf... ARRGGG

 

[aweigh]

Don't overclock your card if you don't know what you're doing.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

i knew what i was doing before all this new crap came out.... why dont you make a useful post.
Let me find your first posts and see what noob ?'s you had.


Someone explain please... overdrive freezes and i tried to apply the 689/792 and i got green lines all over my screen lol.. rebooted now its fine. Running at stock speeds till someone wants to help me

As a point of practice be very careful about being rude to other posters, you clearly don't know what you're doing with overclocking your graphics card, if you did you wouldn't have gotten confused about the 2d/3d settings.

However no one is born with that information and we will be more than happy to provide it for you if you ask nicely.

Read this thread for general ATI overclocking info http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=31&threadid=1884631&enterthread=y

If you double the memory clock speed that it's displaying (around 700 something?) that is what your clock speed is at.

My 6600gt has a memory clock of 1000mhz, but it only shows up as 500mhz in coolbits, etc.

So, your card is perfectly fine. You got what you ordered and payed for.

And it sounds like you shouldn't overclock your card. I dont think the x1800 series OCs very well sometimes.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

yes i know.... 750 = 1500

i got tired of ccc freezing so i uninstalled it. I closed ati tray tools and im trying rivatuner right now.

Riatuner tells me the default clocks are 621/747 (1494)

Im guessing those are my 3d clocks... why does every other program tell me my 2d clocks?
And when i use ATI tray tools... OSD display tells me 594/693 in the top right even when im playing my game.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

ok heres another screenshot...

i cant OC in CCC because it freezes...
i cant OC in ati tray tools cause i hit apply and it goes back to defaults
i cant OC in rivatuner because even though it says 650/750 its still stock speeds in hardware monitor and ati tray tools.

how do i overclock this POS ? nothin will keep the speeds i set.

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

ok i am talking to myself now yay!!!

ok i downloaded the ati tool 0.25 beta 10 and it seems to let me OC
im at 621/747 right now at 50/c

now can someone help me with voltages? i dunno what to set that at to start.
i only got an antec true power 400w but i have 1 cd drive and only 2 fans.. no lights.
do i need new psu first?

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

update:

i got my speeds to 650/1672 so far at 55/c

ran stable no artifacts for 10 minutes...

 

[unkn0wnhacka]

650/1672 is stable... runs oblivion maxed out at 1280x1024 for 1 hour no artifacts or reboots...

should i up it a lil bit or add more voltages? whats a safe voltage? come on guys POST SOMETHING
