Hey guys,
I have gone through many X1900XTX video cards, I have had a HIS a Sapphire and an original ATI and all of them give me the same error message when I use my Eurosoft PC Check disk on the memory. My Friend also has an X1800XT 512mb and his does the same thing. To my understanding the clock speeds on the X1k cards lower themselves when not being use?!? Similar to the Intel Speedstep and/or the AMD Cool and Quiet technology.
The program tests in dos and so i wander if the ram just shuts down and that is why it fails the tests in the program. Im not sure if this is correct, can anyone help and let me know if it is correct or not.
Also can someone please give me a program, which can test my vram and possibly the whole video card to make sure the things check out!
Thanks in advance for your help!
