Yup. She's here beautiful & banging off the hook.
XFX 4890 XXX.
Got'er installed n what not.
Amazing!
Nice! Have you benched it yet?
What about overclocking? Will you be pushing the pixels ...
Thanks for replying, the man I need to speak with .
Yeah, I just now benched it, I don't think its performing as it should be?
Here is a screen shot of gpuz, cpuz, 3dmark06 and windows 7 score, its a messy screen shot
as I didn't feel like messing with layers today, just installed windows 7.
Another thing should shaders be showing up in gpuz?
I have alot to learn with this card as it is my very first ati, I don't know anything
about setting the voltages, from temporary to making it permanent in bios? same with
making overclocks permanent in bios as well as with fan speeds.
I have the fan speeds @50%, all of the card temps do not exceed over 52c with a 100% GPU usage.
Riva Tuner is taking care of the overclocking & fan speeds atm, if using CCC to handle oc's
& fan speeds I tend to see my gpu drop from 975 to 240mhz with ccc, rivatuner I do not
see it drop at all to 240mhz, stays steady 975.
Also i see you asked about pushing the pixels, is that same as ocing the card as I did above or is there more to it?
ATI tools work in 64 bit environment? also what are the best programs to use with the ati if you don't mind me asking?
Think that sums it up, hopefully some help if you don't mind providing it?
Cool...and I see the CPU-z sig is now working too
Wow...your core is over 1gig! I'm wondering though if your CPU might be 'bottlenecking' your card?
Are you BOTTLE NECKED?! - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
As for creating custom bios's.. I'll have to find the correct web site for the right software but yes, no worries there..
As for getting low scores with the benching ect... If it doesn't seem to improve (I always do a clean install whenever I get something pretty major like a fat graphics card) Either try installing the driver again or do a fresh install.
Rivatuner does work with ATI but as you'll find that it's more geared up for Nvidia cards..
ATI tools... Not really done much with them... To be honest I just use the CCC to overclock and pretty much leave it at that.. If you wanted to find out more then the best forum would be 3D Guru as they have some dedicated sections to ATI cards and apps.
I hope thats answered a few questions for now... Post back and let me know how you got on....Oh and about overclocking, you'll see that I've pushed my card to the most ccc will go and it handles that no problem what so ever. I should imagine your card will be pretty similar in that respect...but still, go careful first time around.
