x1900xt

Those are the 2d clocks, it changed to the 3d clocks in 3d mode.

Wish i had a nickel for each thread on this topic  

well, thats okay then   , gonna run a few benchies to see...

See my scores below. PM me when you have the results to compare. Have fun!

Those are 2D clocks. When in a 3D application, they jump to the rated speed.

Ya, I was afraid to post on this topic myself, for I suspected it was posted all over the place. But my question is this: how do I confirm that my X1900XT actually moves beyond the 2D 500/600 range?

Is getting over 10K in 3DMark05 and over 5K in 3DMark06 a clear sign? Can those scores be obtained with a card running at the 2D speeds?

I have an X1900XT and those clocks ARE 2d speeds the ram and core jump up when running 3d programs. One way to test this would be to get a copy of FEAR max it out and see if it runs around 25-40 fps.

yeaper jeepers! if it runs at lower speed it won't reach the 10k and 5k in 3dmark benches. i also worried too at first place, but i noticed it later via ati ccc on the overdrive and run benchmark and compared it to tomshardware vga chart. the card itself still running the same score even if we didn't unlock the overdrive option in the ati ccc.

Well, my scores came in as the following;

3Dmark03 : 16259
3Dmark05 : 9974
3Dmark06 : 5125



you could prob get software that monitors the frequencies of the card & records them into a graph...
