X1950XT Owners

just wondering what kind of 3DMark05 scores you guys are getting with this card, i was getting 7000+ which isnt that good for this card

i got
3.4ghz
2GB 667mhz
X1950XT

please post your scores

i dont no if its my system i may need to do a formatt

My System and 3DMark05 scores are in my sig, so I'd say that is VERY low for that card

Damn all those scores are low. When I had my X1900XT granted I had it clocked to 730mhz core and 1664mem paired up with a E6400@3.5ghz I was scored a whopping 14,336 marks in 3dmark 05 and 6,900 marks in 06.

That sounds about right for 3Dmark06, not 05.

Is your CPU an Intel P4 or Pentium D or what?

3.4 intel P4 single prescott
mobo Asus P5B
memory timing WTH! aint got a clue what this is its 667mhz and 2GB thats all i know

i aint done the formatt yet, gonna do one because i had problems with install the drivers for my old card, then i did a restore point cause virsus's and shit

gonna get it all straightened out

oh man i heard about bottlenecking but i aint to sure could you explain a bit more please

925D @3.75Ghz (250x15)
HIS 1950XT
P5ND2-sli
2Gb 500Mhz

3D Mark 05: 10,000
3D Mark 06: 6,000

word

My old setup was an 4800X2 and a X1900XT. I discovered that it took 2.6ghz with that AMD chip to remove the bottleneck caused by the X1900XT.

I would imagine a P4 would really have to be pushed up high, probably around 4.2ghz or so.

In Single Core games the CPU shouldn't be much of a bottleneck. However in multi-threaded games you'll find a nice big bottleneck!

I never said it would remove the bottleneck. I said it would check for a bottleneck on the GPU by making a decent amount of improvement. I expect it would scale fairly well.

I do agree that the chip would have to be pushed pretty high to remove the bottleneck on the X1950, no argument there. Around 4GHz is a decent estimate, I'd say.

I did tests in WoW With the 3800+ X2 and X1900XT. I'd hang out in front of the auction house in Ironforge, on average the most crowded place in the game. I tested the difference between the stock 2.0GHz and an overclocked speed of 2.1GHz. There was a big difference in frame rate when overclocked - much smoother. I also did tests in FEAR, saw a ~5fps difference in favor of the overclock.

Overclocking is also relative. Robs says it took 2.6GHz to remove his bottleneck. I don't have huge loads of dispensable income, so I didn't overclock that high. But it didn't take much to see that there was a slight bottleneck.

You may want to think about upgrading to a C2D. You have the board for it, so you might as well spend the ~$200 and get an e6300. That will pair nicely with your video card.

Yes.

i am going to get a E6600 with the 4mb cache

can you tell me if this will be enought for that card+is this chip anygood

Hi guys; here's what I'm getting...
3DMark 06 - 6061
3DMark 05 - 11455
...with the rig in my sig.
Regards

If your running everything at stock speed that sounds about right.

Yeah Im breaking 12k in 06 and 17k in 05. They are definently fast.


Bump that E6400 on up man, why you holding out? LOL. I have mine at a nice 3.5ghz at 1.4vcore rock stable with P95 for over 14+hrs. Im using a Tuniq Tower 120 and idle temps are just 34c with load under prime being 59c.

Hi,
2666MHz and my idle is up to 34C.
3DMark '05 - 12308
...still no 8800 though
But I do get crisp performance for a good price.
@ matthiggins7
So, there are some more numbers for you now... have you any new '05 scores yet?
Regards

Hiya - Can someone tell me what software i need to use to OC my CPU.

I have gone into Bios and changed a setting for OC my CPU to "Commander" -- thats the onyl option i can see in bios.

I'm sure there must be a easy way.

ALSO Another problem that may cause bottle necking !!

I have 2 gig of RAM -- 1 gig -= Sansung but with latency of 2.5 AND 1 gig = Crosair Latency of 3.0

I ran Mark3d and got a score of 9000 + which aint too bad - i think .. Any ideas? THANKS :-)

Here are my 3DMark scores with my CPU at different clock speeds. System specs are listed in my signature.

3DMark05
2000MHz - 10155
2400MHz - 11387
2800MHz - 12060

3DMark06
2000MHz - 5409
2400MHz - 5679
2800MHz - 5866

Hi,

I just ran 3d Mark 05 - My score is 1000 + - No Lies !

i only have a
AMD 3700 +
MSI KN8 MOBO
1.5 GIG PC3200 RAM
ATi 1950XT 256 MB Card

What I did was increased the FSB to 210 - which increased my processor speed from 2.2 Stock to 2.4

Then I killed most of my sysem processes from 30 down to 20/19 - this makes a BIG Diffrence

I was using 300MB now only using 150MB

Hope this helps

LOL I hope you realize what a horrible score that is.

How can I improve my score then?

Cause reading most peoples posts, mine came out OK.

I ran the Ati Obverdrive setting thing - for automated GC over clock.

So I guess my card is defo not running @ full potential.

I do not own this card. None of my friends own it. I have never used or touched this card. I do not have the same CPU or RAM as you.
But if I did, my 3DMark06 scores would be 8345.

Don't worry mate i get that around 2/3 FPS secounds on Mark 3D 05. this is only on the final parts of benchmarking.


The part where you are getting 2/3 fps is normal because in that particular test it is only using your CPU to render.

can anybody enlighten me .. who's faster x1900xtx or x1950 xt. seems like both are slightly below x1950xtx
