Radeon X1800GTO@XT MOD (12P to 16P)

[pt]

Get the IceQ HIS version

he already has a card, i doubt he would sell his just to buy one that it's just like the one he has

1800 gto

ok guys check this out


just got my his. 1800 gto's to run faster than the xt model

700 core
750 ddr-3

on both cards

700 x 1500 or 1400 x 3000

now thats what i'm talking about

played prey all day and beat the game

not a single hickup

1280x1024 @ 75 htz
aa 4 anstopic 16x

which is the max for my lcd


never drops below 60 fps and spikes way higher


i have to say my dfi cfx3200-dr is the most increadale board i have ever owned

without it i would not be posting today.


oh and here is my voltage

1.35 gpu's

2.2 ddr-3

1400 mhz or gpu power
3000 mhz of ddr-3 bandwidth
with 512 meg total video memory
in a plug and play crossfire configuration

a 1000 dollar crossfire array for 400 dollars
lol

who scored on who ?

thats what i thought.

"on both cards

700 x 1500 or 1400 x 3000

now thats what i'm talking about"

WTF are you talking about? Why would you take your clock speed and double it and tell people it runs at 1400mhz Core?

That's not true at all lol, it runs at 700 core and 1500mhz memory(750x2 hence DDR)

EDIT: Oh, you're doubling the numbers cause you have two cards, but it doesn't really make sense how you put it.

ddr is double data rate... 750 IS 1500...

What I will correct is this: You don't have 512mb of ram or 3ghz of mem speed or 1.4 ghz of gpu speed. It doesn't double like that. Each card runs at its speed and doesnt share memory or processing power with the other card... this is why people with two cards running at 600mhz a peice dont say they have 1.2ghz.

download 3dmark05 and post some scores.

 

[bigboi86]

ddr is double data rate... 750 IS 1500...

Which is why I was correcting his statement about 3000mhz memory.

 

[chron]

no, you corrected it because you didn't understand what double data rate meant. In his mind, at 1.5GHz per each card's memory, the total must be at 3GHz. He was wrong there, but he was right to say the memory runs at 1.5ghz. My x1800gto runs 700/700 so it actually runs 700/1.4GHz...

Yes I know how they rate memory speed. I'm certified and took courses on this stuff

Vmem

Chron asked a question earlier about how you guys adjusted your vmem....i have checked many forums including this one and the only thing that i can guess is that i have to be born with this information....however i wasnt ....so if anyone knows how to adjust your memory voltage that would be freaken awsome...



AMD 3500+ @2.83Ghz
ABIT Kn8 SLI
2gb samsung ddr
x1800gto 1.35vcore @725/630

voltage

Ok

I'll Break It Down 4 U

After You Get The Bios Flashed Correctly.
That Means Open All Pipes And Run Gpu Stock And Ddr Stock

You Will Need The Following Tools Which Are Available Freely


Newest Riva Tuner

Newest Atitool

And For This Next One It Needs More Explaination


Its Called Overclocker.exe
Or
Ati Overclocker

If You Hit Me On Yahoo Im I Will Transfer It To U


Yahoo Id Mjs1231


With Overclocker Only Use It To Modify Voltages Not Fan, Not Speed

Personally I Game All Day At 700 Gpu And 1500 Ddr-3 On My Card

1.3-1.35 Max Gpu Voltage

Ddr Core Voltage 2.20 And That Is The Max



Gpu Still Has Plenty Of Head Room,

By The Way Does Anyone Know Where I Can Get Gpu Voltages By Model

Say 1800's To 1900's

 

[mjs1231]

Memory Speed

yes i completely understand all the concepts of all hardware on the pc platform.
As a IT profesional with over a decade of hands on experience and probably after my A+ , cna , mcse+ , and have been the soul builder for many years, wether it be air, water, phase, I have done it , tweaked it, overclocked it and optimized it

i own from dos 5.0 to ubuntu to xp 64 to osx


try solid state disk arrays that run on ibm blades with fiber level 4 caching disk controllers

peoplesoft databases that run on oracle that uses a solid state array

ya man i must have for got about what i STATED earlier pffffff

the problem is that you took the statement to heart and got all fired up

first of all let me clairify my statements

I was speaking for acheivement bumps bump.....bump


not like it doubles like you imagined i thought

but just for gloating

and i can because of what i spent and what i acheived.

keep that in mind

i got a crossfire setup that rivals 2x xt model for 400 dollars


yo man

all i can say.........

whooz ur daddy


oh ya

and dont ever question my understanding of hardware , software, network and communications

I am currently a NTAC for embarq corporation

so i have allready proven my skills to corporate management and did not fail.

cuz thats how i rollll

Lol, someone has a big head...

 

[chron]

Lots of computer classes, no writing courses I see... Unless you think were all too stupid to read paragraphs normally?

First off, this thread isn't here so we can speak of all our achievements, but all lets go ahead anyways . Here’s my long list: I'm on my third year of college getting a BS in Computer Information Systems. I have absolutely no job exp. and no certifications what so ever. I taught myself Visual Basic in the 6th grade, is that an accomplishment?

I indeed have an X1800GTO that runs faster than a 256mb XT model as well. But unlike you, I didn't have an unlock guide made for me. When I bought my card, flashing the XL bios was the only known method for unlocking the pipes on every forum I went to. After comparing the XL bios to my own GTO bios in a hex editor, one of the first differences I noticed and changed in my own GTO bios turned out to unlock the pipes. So no more bragging about your accomplishment there, that’s MY accomplishment.

It’s funny that you have all that knowledge and yet you still tell people you are now working with 1.5GHz at gpu and 3GHz at mem. Someone like you should know that two 256MB cards do NOT equal 512MB of total memory, and this is what you wrote. I was simply correcting this as it might lead less knowledgeable viewers to assume this is how bandwidth is calculated.

So I'm sorry for not assuming that you already knew the error in your message, and I'm sorry that somehow you felt it necessary to get on and start spitting credentials.

And I’m sorry I didn’t separate every sentence

As for me, I'm thinking of trading in my version to get the IceQ version. From what I hear, people are having no problem getting to 800mhz on the memory and above 700 on the core. Also, using a simple bios flash method, you can control mem voltage and core voltage via ATITool.

This is what pisses me off: If I flash an XL bios, I get vmem control in ATITool but no vgpu control. If I use rabit2.1 to modify my original bios, I can set my core voltage to 1.45 and run 700/700. I'm assuming my vmem is still at 1.9 and from what I hear, I think my memory actually can only go as high as 700, but I would still like to be able to apply more voltage to memory in order to test this...

 

[chron]

Oh, and if I try setting my voltage using Overclocker.exe, it tries to bring my core voltage to stock and (if it comes out of the black screen, which is usualy never) it even brings my clock speeds down to below what it is stock. Overclocker acts funky on my computer.

 

[~MUFF~MuNcHeR]

WOW.....lol........i want ring side seats.....

Hi all, 1st post.
Got my His X1800 gto iceq3 turbo a couple of weeks ago. Firstly thanks to Chron for posting the unlock, worked like a charm. Unfortunately the XL bios only allowed temp and mem voltage control as Chron mentioned.
I currently use overclocker.exe to control both voltages, Ati tray tools for fan control, systool for monitoring and Ati tool beta 14 for the obvious.
So far i have managed 702/725 with voltages at 1.350/2.10 Temps until this incredible weather never went above 55°, now there hitting 63-64. My only worry are the voltage regs, hitting about 53-54°, what is a safe temp for these?
Chron, when u raise the voltage with overclocker did u have ati tool open, coz i found when i did i got black screened and clocks went below default?
All comments welcom.

p.s. A huge thanks everyone who partakes in these forums, very valuble information and advise. Last but not least to W1zzard, what a great tool.

hmm, thats interesting. I'll redownload and try it, maybe i did have ati tool open...

As far as your clocks, congrats. I can only get to 700/700 on mine, which prooves the IceQ's are probably a better buy.

Your temperatures are fine. I'd say that if at idle, your vregs go above 60 and at load they go above 75, then cooling it is a must. Personaly, I use a VF1-Plus on my card and have ram sinks and a case fan on my voltage regulators. The voltage regulators never go above 55, which is nominal. My cpu also never goes above 60. At stock settings, with the cooling I put on it, I idle at 35 and load at 45 while my vregs are arround 40 idle 50 load. You can really see how increasing voltage increases heat.

My HIS X1800gto arrives tomorrow......

My sapphire X1800gto should arrive at the retailers for RMA on friday,results of a 16 pipe unlock cock up.
[curse the internet idiots who claim they did it with a sapphire with an asus bios may thier testicles wither and their mrs get lucky with a 6,2" foot welshman].


i just read Bjorn3d`s review,and he states that HIS pointed him at the bios that works worry free to unlock those xtra 4 pipes on a HIS X1800gto.
heres the question......

which bios was he talking about ?
where can i get it ?
how do i check BEFORE flashing that it is indeed the bios mentioned by Bjorn3d.

oh...and hello all...1st post is a doozy huh ?
tried search feature but its hanging on this end,so will take it that theres a huge traffic jam.

 

[chron]

some chinese website made a cracked bios for gto's. It works for some and not for others. I put some instructions up earlier in the thread explaining how to mod your own bios, I suggest using this method. Who knows, maybe the chinese bios secretly turns your video card into a timed bomb!!!!

so basically using a hex editor i alter the one number and then flash the altered bios ?
and this wont kill the card or altar anything but the pipes count ?

this is my worry on using other bioses,as it just cost me £100 2 days ago to find that other peoples methods are sometimes thought up and executed with all the precision of a fat lady squeezing herself into a thong.

 

[chron]

thanks for that image... It won't leave my brain now.

When you save the new bios, make sure you open it with the new RaBiT 2.1 and save it, this corrects a bad checksum error.

All I can tell you is do this at your own risk, I've done it with two cards now. Worked fine both times.

 

[mjs1231]

bios

Use winflash to make two backups then modify one and fash it back to the card.



Ya I hated english class, I allways went to the gym and worked out during those times. I allways counted on a few smart honeys to hook me up after they ---- me off.


ya and they liked it.....

one may have been your mom..... who knows

The only people that were good in that class were the bookworms and geeks and fat chicks.

yep those were some fun times, to bad you were in english class ..... lol


you may not like my outlaw typing but i know for a fact you get my point. Oh ya women love it.

enough said ..l..

and have a nice day

 

[chron]

Please don't post to this thread anymore. You've gone completely off subject. Your lack of respect for this thread's main point, or any interest in posting anything helpful to anyone, should be enough for you to simply close the window and not come back.

Your actions reveal the true obstacle of overwhelming ignorance you face each and every day in your life. Your description of your fantasy where you would skip English class to lift weights and have sex with women, has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING, and is a clear indication of a deep psychological insecurity that you have; An insecurity that stems from years of mental anguish caused by natural short comings, and so controlling of your mind that you try and convince everyone here, including yourself, of a false reality where your life means something. You have unfairly taken 5 seconds of life away from everyone who has read your message. I award you no points, and my God have mercy on your soul.

Now, you might not like my clear form of communication, but you catch my drift.

PS: I was captain of the swim team in high school, as well as a year round dedicated swimmer. I also wore a shirt that said “no fat chicks” and I was so cool in school my nick name was fire bolt. Enough said.

followed your method twice,and all went well with the sapphire x1800gto.

THEN i found a site that claimed it managed to unlock the sapphire to 16 pipes by using an asus bios,thats when the card died/locked up.

my mistake trusting the russki`s

today i get my new HIS x1800gto,reads as a much better card and a 100% unlockable.





but as william shakespear once said "my arse doth verily twitch at doing it again"
yay verily and a hey nonny nonny

update!

card arrived...plugged it in...used everest and guess what ?

already unlocked ???????
