Does any one has Gecube X1950XT AGP?

no there are nothing wrong I'm just saying i wish i had seasonic lol I was going to buy seasonic but it was too expensive so I decided to buy Antec. Antec works perfect! Anyway I believe Antec comes from Seasonic which is very good PSU. Individually I believe Seasonic, Antec and Enermax are the most good PSUs

 

hey waymon do i have to install Omega driver without removing my existing Catalyst driver right now? Do I just have to install Omega over ATI display driver what I'm currently using?

 

You have to go and remove the CCC from ad/remove programs, as stated in the directions in the setup. You must remove the catalyst control center for the Omega drivers to install, or make them work by using the guide I posted earlier.

 

wait im getting so confuse now So I must delete CCC (Catalyst Control Center) from the computer before installing omega driver? What about ATI Display Driver and Hydravision stuffs? I only have to remove CCC not ATI display driver?

 

No, just uninstall the CCC and CCC only from ad or remove programs. Then install the omega drivers the way I told you eariler.

I will be in Vermont for the next 3 days, and as we know vermont is far from everything, even electricity, so I wont be able to reply to all the messages. When I get back (should be on monday) I will start replying again.

 

ok waymon! I will just remove CCC only (not ATI displat driver or hydravison) and intall omega driver. Thx and have a fun time there! good luck!

 

WAYMON!! IT WORKED!! YES!!! I GOT OMEGA DRIVER!! YAY!! THX A LOT!!

 

Glad you got it working! See a difference in performance?

 

omega driver seems working great. But these days i don't know y but somehow my fps average during the game has decreased a lot.. I got 116 fps on CS:S video stress test last time but now I'm getting like 101 fps...this is mystery... It's not the driver problem..

 

Oh I believe it is driver problem fps seems very unstable during the game... When I'm getting like 120fps, it suddenly goes sown to like 50fps and come back to 120 again.. I don't know why..Is there better driver for x1950xt? And waymon how do you overclock the card? I have no idea how to overclock ATI product..NVIDIA was easy with coolbits (By the way NVIDIA driver rox!! lol ATI sucks i think

 

Yea, ATi drivers do suck, but you have to take that into accomodation when you buy the best card for AGP. Anyways, I sometimes get lag spikes like that too. I think they're normal, they only happen once in a while, so I ignore them.

To overclock the card, you need RivaTuner (I use it for monitoring the temps, you can use it to overclock too) and ATi Tool. When you get Ati tool, make sure you're in 3d mode, by loading the default clocks 645/702 I think, and then up the Mhz very slighty on the core and memory. When you get to max (you will no this, your computer screen will go black or it will turn off and restart, this is ok and normal) Once you get to the max, 702 core and 955 mem for me, 702 and 855 stable, click on the "scan for artifacts butten" and a fuzz ball will pop up. Run it for a while to make sure you get no artifacts, if you do, then you have to lower your mem and core clocks a bit. Then, once you find a setting that works good, you can save it and load it, and play some games.

You wont notice a big difference when you overclock your card, so you probably wont get a 20fps increase on BF2.

Anyways, do you have ramsinks on the Vram? If not, I wouldnt overclock the ram.

 

WOW ... now I'm scare to overclock.. I guess I should not.. when I had 6800GT I also overclocked and used it but didn't notice the big differences.. Overclock only creates heat and shortened card's life. Any way I hate this fps lag spike so much.. When I had 6800gt I had no problems. ATI should make better drivers.. Waymon did you ever try the newest catalyst driver? should I try it? It might be better than driver that was in Gecube box.

 

Yeah, I did try it, and it's way worse. I start up Bf2 and get 15fps on the welcome screen, while with omega I get 98-100. You can try it if you want, but right now I think the omega drivers are the best ones for ATi cards.

 

waymon what version of driver r u using right now? My driver version is 8.360.0.0 And when I go to Omega setup, it says CATALYST Version - Omega 7.04 and below that it says 2D Version 6.14.10.6683 Is this good versions?

 

according to rivatuner, I'm using catalyst 7.4, but in ccleaner, I'm using omega 3.8.360

 

waymon r u usind latest catalyst driver? I downloaded one from the ati.amd.com

 

no, omega driver

 

waymon make sure one more time asking. umm before installing Omega driver, I shouldn't delete ATI DIsplay driver right? (remove only CCC ?)

 

The direcetions state that ou should only delete the CCC, not the display drivers, ATiTool, Ati Tray tools, or whatever else you have for your ATi card. Just the CCC.

 

OMG I'm keep having problem with unstable fps during the game... Omega won't help me much.. T_T Do you use latest Omega driver?
