I'm kinda like a spammer here but different, though just as shameless.

Digg our story up boys!

ATi Radeon HD 2900 XT setup

lsage — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 03:35:32 GMT

I bought a used ATI Radeon HD 2900 Xt card. It did not come with a users manual. I connected the power cable ( 6 pin connector) to the port toward the back of the computer. I works ok. But I get a warning message saying that the power supply may not be adequate / or the clock setting may have been turned down, the card therefore may not work to the maximum capacity. The screen goes black from time to time for a second or two. Should I connect additional 6 pin power to the other socket? ATi web site is of no help.

Can someone help me how to correct this problem?

Mobility Radeon TV Out

Marco C — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:21:47 GMT

Hey All,

Have any of you seen any weirdness with TV out on notebooks equipped with Mobility Radeon GPUs? I got this question on the Toshiba Laptop Experts website and wanted to see if any of you have had a similar experience and whether or not you had resolved it.

Sunil asked,"I have a Toshiba A300d and it has a x1250 integrated graphics card. I am trying to use my s video cable but it doesnt work when I connect it to the lcd tv. I cannot change the settings on the laptop either and the FN5 key doensnt really do anything either. Would RGB work with a vga cable?"

I responded with, "TV output with ATI GPUs usually works fairly well. The first thing I would do is update your graphics drivers—you’ll find the latest Mobility Radeon driver here:

http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/mobility-xp

Once you’ve got the latest driver installed, shut down your notebook, connect your S-Video cable to the notebook and to your display, power up the display and choose the necessary input, and then power up your notebook. When you get to your Window desktop, open the display properties and enable the second display (it may not show up as a TV). You should then be prompted to run the multi-display wizard, at which point you can select “standard TV” as an option. And no, RGB won’t work with a VGA cable, but you shouldn’t need it anyway. Good Luck."

Is there anything else you would have suggested?

ATI Radeon HD 4850 RV770 Sneak Peek

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:11:59 GMT

As many of you are no doubt aware, AMD is about to release a new line of ATI Radeon graphics cards based on the GPU that was internally codenamed RV770. Cards based on the GPU were supposed to launch next week, on June 25 to be specific, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we are able to offer you some preliminary information and benchmark scores a little early.

Like the RV670 used on the Radeon HD 3800 series, the RV770 GPU powering the Radeon HD 4850 is manufactured on TSMC's 55nm process node. A full wafer of RV770 dies is pictured to the left. At the heart of the GPU lies 800 stream processors, which give it considerably more muscle than the previous generation. Of course, there is more to the RV770 than just having more stream processors, but we have to save that information for the official launch.

For now, we can show you what the card looks like, tell you its basic specifications, and provide some preliminary performance information.

ATI Radeon HD 4850 (RV770)

Sapphire Radeon HD 4850

The Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 you see pictured here has a core GPU clock speed of 625MHz with 512MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 993MHz. The memory is connected to the GPU via a 256-bit memory bus. The card is cooled by a single slot, copper fansink, that remained relatively quiet during our brief testing, but man did it get hot. The drivers reported an idle temperature of around 80'C, and the card was way too hot to touch. Pricing for the card is expected to be set at $199.

NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+

Of course, NVIDIA caught wind of the impending Radeon HD 4850 launch and was prepping a product to rain on AMD's parade. Out of the blue, a couple of graphics cards arrived here in the lab based on a "new" GPU from NVIDIA. What you see pictured above is the upcoming GeForce 9800 GTX+.

What does the "+" designate you ask? Well, this card is based on a 55nm version of the G92 - down from 65nm on previous products. The GeForce 9800 GTX+ will arrive with an MSRP of $229, which is much lower than what current GeForce 9800 GTX cards are selling for, so expect the GTX+ to push the current GTX down into the sub-$200 price bracket in the coming weeks (think mid-July).

The GeForce 9800 GTX+ offers a GPU clock speed of 738MHz, a shader clock of 1836MHz, and 512MB of GDDR3 Memory clocked at 1.1GHz (2.2GHz DDR). Like the current 9800 GTX, the new card will support 2- and 3-Way SLI configurations. Unfortunately, we do not have a driver to test the GTX+ just yet, but we will soon, so stay tuned. For now, here's how the Radeon HD 4850 stacks up to a handful of other cards in a few games and benchmarks...

As you can see, the Radeon HD 4850 fares quite well in all of the tests. It's not quite as fast as the new GeForce GTX 260, but keep in mind that card carries an MSRP that is double that of the 4850. With the small sampling of tests we ran, so far, it seems like the Radeon HD 4850 will edge out a stock GeForce 9800 GTX and hang with the Radeon HD 3870 X2. Stop back next week for the full story.

Hi there,

I have a 17 inch LCD monitor 1280*1024 32bit, Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 3.262GHz 466FSB ORTHOS,PRIME,OCCT,SANDRA,AND OTHER FULLY STABLE (1.86GHz Default) with Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 Motherboard (Rev. X.X WITH F7 BIOS) with 2GB Kingston Hyper-X 800MHz Memory modules in Dual Channel Mode (128bit - 64bit*2).I'm using ATI GFX-Cards FOREVER and the reason is because i don't know what the Bench sites are saying or doing but every time that i was trust any of the benchmarks i was pissed off because is like they are saying lies to me at least.Finally i want to make something about the ATI HD3870 clear and not for the ATI HD3870 X2 is that in any game i'm playing the frames are about 60F.P.S.(Frames Per Second) and up, not at least in any time of the game drops below of that at ALL FULL GRAPHICS and all Details Cranked Up - AA16X,HDR and so on...... and something else those 55nm babes and not 65nm are so easy overclockable ~1000MHz+++ core (stock cooling- within VGA BIOS modifications).

Salvage an older ati card

Airin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:00:29 GMT

Hello,

We have two ATI AIW 9600 XT with defective fans (PN7120010200, 416BF) on the heatsinks. Can you recommend a product I can replace this videocard's cooling solution with?

If not can you recommend a partial solution or an online supplier?

Thank you.

Yep, and three driver revisions later, we're still testing.

I got a couple of 7900 gx2's in my arsenal and this thing isn't much shorter looking. (in the pics) The 7900 gx2's are 12.25 inches long unlike their 9 inch 7950gx2 counterparts. I was about to buy a 2900xt 1gb to replace my aging GX2's right before Christmas to pump my rig up to Vista standards but held back because of limited funds, the feeling that the 3000 series was about to own it's ass and now you can't find them anywhere.(funny how all that worked out) I will own one of these when they come out!
