2900XTX will nicht so wie ich :(

Wenn ich ma Zeit und Lust hab
Mit was fürm Tool zieht man das denn am besten raus?

Hey Bull could you try and find the PCB date of your HD 2900 XTX Rev.A1 for me?

It's because that I think you have a much older card which could explain your difficulties, what you could do, is ask Tweakstone for a bios dump of his card, flash that bios to yours and this should solve your card's problems

Zitat von Bull

Wär supi
ich hab damals bei meiner 2900Pro Ati Flash ( oder wars Ati WinFlash?) benutzt, lief unter Windows und war recht einfach.

geht aber auch mit GPU-Z, da ist hinter dem Feld "Bios version" nen kleiner button wo man das Bios sichern kann

Edit:
@ Obi
I will look for it, give me 5 minutes

Edit2:
I found these two numbers, not sure if this is the PCB-Date...

Yes this is it!

0646 means year 2006 wek 46!! your is much older than the one Niels has which is 0705 year 2007 week 05 as the one I had which Tweakstone now has 0704 year 2007 week 04, also your card has dual fan connectors Tweakstone's and Niels' card have only one.

Thjis is very interesting week 46 of year 2006 hmm interesting, you may have one of the first Rev.A1's the Rev.A02 had a black cooler and the Rev.A01 had the clear cap coolerm the Rev.A01 is from late 2006 and the Rev.A02 is from mid 2006 so it could mean that the Rev.A1 is from Q4 2006 which resembles your card and that ATi gave the XTX a last chance with the cards from week 04 en 05 from 2007 as their last attempt with the HD 2900 XTX project, thanx for showing me mate!

So with your card known that it's an older variant of the rev.A1 we now know that there are 4 different cards:

Here's a pic of the Rev.A01 HD 2900 XTX

Here's a pic of the Rev.A02 HD 2900 XTX

Here's a pic of an early Rev.A1 HD 2900 XTX the 0646 with Dual fan connectors:

And here's the shot of the Rev.A1 0704 VGA card Tweakstone has & Niels has as well, the Rev.A1 0705 same card basically:

so what are the changes? well better bios for support with later drivers and one fan connector lesser heh and maybe better ram timings as such for the rest the card installs as a HD 2900 XT 1GB I dunno about the Rev.A1 0646 though, could be that GPU-Z sees it as a R600 XTX , it detected mine as that from Niels as a R600XT with 1GB of 512Bit GDDR4 @ 2020Mhz DDR and the VPU @ 743 Mhz, I suppose ATi gave it the HD 2900 XT 1GB GDDR4 Bios, it did OC easily to core / mem 850Mhz / 2250Mhz DDR , Niels and I did this with his card.

Sometime during the next month I will seek up an Original Built By Ati Hd 2900 XT 1GB and see how different this one performs from the HD 2900 XTX and HD 2900 XT 512MB, I'll keep you updated as I progress.
just a few days ago I came across this thread where someone ran Dual HD 2900 XTX's in CF, might be interesting to read for ya

Page 3 of that test shows the CF results, which is here, about 1/3 down the page:

hehe thanx Bull well those black ones seem to have been the variants tha ran core / mem: 850Mhz to 1000 Mhz / 2250 DDR to 2400 Mhz DDR, these Black coolered red cards were the fastest XTX cards of every batch.

Though the one I amd seeking is where it all began this beauty

The point is , if the card Niels, Tweakstone and you have is very hard to find and since ATi still exists, finding that black one and this clear model is almost near to impossible, I will seek out Sir R. Larose and see if He can scoop up more info about this oddball.
