My X1950XT reports wrong clock speed!

[FKS]

I recently upgraded from an X1900GT to X1950XT. Both CCC and ATI tray tool
report the core clock = 500MHz and the mem clock =594MHz. The numbers should
be 625 & 1,800, right? I'm using Cat 7.1.

Those are the correct 2D clock speeds for this card. Like most newer gen
cards, it kicks up to full throttle in 3D mode.

". The numbers
Forgot to mention that the actual memory speed for your card 900Mhz in 3D
Mode which the manufacturers double to 1800Mhz "effective". So, 625/900 in
3D mode. 500/1200 in 2D. And the actual speed is generally a few Mhz below
the quoted spec.

"500/1200 in 2D."

Oops, I screwed up... 500/600 in 2D !

Thanks for the info. I thought I got a defective card.

I thought all ATi cards from the X1600 and up had different 2D/3D clock
speeds. Did your X1900GT run full-blast at all times?

I never bothered to check clock speeds of my GT 'cause I knew I was going to
upgrade to the XT.
