Overclocking Ati 9800 Pro

Lets start at the beginning and state my sys specs:

P4 3. 0ghz presscot
Gigabyte 8s655fx mobo
1 gig samsung ddr 400 3-4-4-9 2cmd (whatever that means)
Radeon 9800pro 256mb 256bit made by ati (hynix f-28 mem)
Hec ace 580wat power supply. Now these days my 9800pro is just not strong enough anymore and it currently runs at default settings (i think it's 378 338). The card just wont cut it. I want to oc it since buying a new one is not an option for now but i really know almost nothing about it. I am however willing to spend some money on a cooler but i need help determining which is the best for me to get, and how high i should o/c my card or maybe i should just flash it to 9800xt? I heard some ppl talk about doing this. Now i may be a newbie to o/cing, but im pretty handy with pcs in general so i don't fear doing this [plus the card has warranty so who cares right?

Driver For Ati 9800 Non Pro

Ive been out of the whole computer scene for a while and i was just curious as to what would be the best video driver for an ati 9800 non-pro. If someone could tell me a version for omega drivers or just normal drivers that would be great. Btw, can you oc the 9800 non-pro cause i tried and my whole screen went black after only adding like 3 mhz to the core.

Ati Radeon 9800 Xt Lock Ups

I just installed a new motherboard and since then i cannot get my 9800xt to run on the pc. It will freeze within 5 mins for sure. I have run the pc on its onboard video and another video card and it runs perfect for weeks. I have installed the 9800xt into another pc and no problems, it has now ran it for over 3 days, so i know the card is fine. So i am almost positive its some type of setting. I have fdisked and reloaded windows and not installed a single program. It ran the windows install fine with the 9800xt but once it got to windows it locked up within 5 mins. I am not able to even have enough time to install the catalyst driver. If i run it with the onboard video or this other cheap card i can run it for weeks. The pc i tested the 9800xt on is a really slow old pc, with no catalyst drivers, just the windows drivers it installs automatically. I have disabled the onboard video when i have tried to run the 9800xt and that didn't change a thing. The only possible thing is i think that old pc is 4x agp and the one i am trying to get it to run on is 4x/8x and in the bios there is no place to change the agp speed. My setup is. Mainboard: aopen ax4sg
Processor: intel pentium 4 3. 06gb
Memory: 2gb 266ddr
Hard drive: western digital 80gb

Support Ati 9800 Pro On Asrock P4i45gv

I have the asrock-p4i45gv 2. 4ghz-1gb ram-motherboard. It has an agp slot called agi. Will my ati 9800 pro work in this slot? Because i can't get it to run right. Catalyst control center keeps showing that it is running on 0x. Whenever i move it to 4x or 8x, it reboots and goes back to 0x. Am i doing something wrong here?

Upgrade Nvidia 9800 Gt To Ati 4890, Same Frame Rates

I recently upgraded to the xfx 4890 and for some reason, i am not seeing frame rate improvements i was expecting. On prototype (all maxed) and gta4 (all high), i am still getting 20-30 fps like i did with my 9800 gt. This is very frustrating because i spent more money on a card that's not giving me any improvements. I know this isn't supposed to be happening, so can someone explain what might be the issue here? I even reformatted my computer so i know my previous nvidia drivers would not conflict with ati's after removing them. I am on windows 7 and my other specs are in my sig (didn't update my video card on the sig yet).

Sapphire Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Or Pny Nvidia 6600 Gt

I was looking at the sapphire ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb and the pny nvidia 6600 gt at tigerdirect.com. Both look like amazing cards. I believe that the 6600 gt is 128 bit and not 256 bit like the 9800. And/or if the 6600 gt has other properties that can account for the difference in ghz i guess. My friend has the sapphire and he says it works great. I was wondering if the 6600 gt is better or worse than the sapphire ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb. The 6600gt is slightly less that the sapphire, i want to know which one i will get the most bang for my buck with. You can check out the cards at tiger direct of you want. I need an expert opinion on this because 230$ is alot of money for me. I kno all my system specs and everything i am torn between these 2 cards.

Notebook Ati Cards - Radeon 9800 And Radeon X600 Difference

Say a 256mb radeon 9800, and/or 256 radeon x600, how much of a difference would these have compared to their desktop counterparts. I wanna assume that they would try to just port it into the lappy but i seriously doubt that. So i guess that if the desktop 9800 has 8 pipes, the lappy version wud have 4 to keep it cooler? Same applies to x600 then right?

The other thing is, how does the desktop x600 compare to nvidia. Wats its competitor card? A regular 6800? Highly doubt that. Ill look this one up. I dont know the number of pipes on the x600. . Using sapphire's x600 pro for reference. It is 4 pipes. What the , fx series then?! 5950xt or sumthin in that order?

Flashing 9800 Pro To 9800 Xt

I'm thinking of flashing my 9800pro to an 9800xt (it has the r360 core although it says r350 in ati tool) the main reason is that i heard that the xt uses more aggressive timings which will help in performance. + I want the temp censor. Right now i have modded a thermaltake spark 7 hs and fan and have it o'ced to 455mhz core/370mhz mem , so heat's not a prob. My noob question is i have winxp formatted in ntfs. Will a ms-dos boot disk still work when i try to flash the card or will it screw up.

6 Screen Ati Eyefinity Configuration

We're just doing a bit of testing here in the lab today, and wanted give you all a glimpse of what was on the test bench. We have already given you glimpses of amd's ati eyefinity technology running on more than three screens on a few occasions in the past, but we haven't had the ability to do any hands-on with the technology up to this point because the radeon hd 5870 eyefinity 6 edition and the requisite software wasn't quite ready yet. Well, it's here now. And we'll be able to give you the full scoop very soon.

Ati 2600 Pro Black Screen

I am having a very weird behavior with my ati 2600 pro card. I lost my hard disk due to an electric shock while i was cleaning the dust out of the pc. At that same time i detached the cooling fan of the video card to clean it as well and putted it back and since then it has stop from accepting the ati drivers . I have reinstalled my os (vista or xp i have tried both) and once i have tried the ati drivers and rebooted i have heard all the normal sounds of windows starting but only getting a black screen . I have restarted in safe mode and search into all possible situations, corrupted drivers, etc. Have restarted and reinstalled the driver in a different way and all i have obtained is this message . Impossible to initialize, "the handler is invalid"

The card with the native windows driver doesn't show this behavior . All this have been using windows vista. I decided to try it with win xp sp 3 and it starts but showing all type of corruption in the image and with the lowest resolution and the lowest color quality 8 bits , when i try to raise it shows a message of something wrong with gpu. So will somebody knows anything at all, what this could be? Did i fried my card? Hopefully no.

Ati Radeon 9250 Black Screen

I just bought myself a ati radeon 9250 agp. I am having problems on getting this thing to work. I search this forum on this specific card and this specific problem but cannot get a definite answer of getting the problem fixed. I have changed the video option in cmos from pci to agp and have uninstalled the last video card software from this computer. The only thing i see in the screen before is goes black is cmos boot screen and when window is loading before you go into the window login screen. After that it goes black. I reinstall the old video card and it works normally and does not go into the safe mode view like you first install windows xp. I appreciate all the help i can get and i would to thank those in advance for their input.

Ati Catalyst Drivers - Screen Dead On Boot

I recently bought my wife a new machine, including a radeon hd 4800. After installing the newest ati drivers, windows needed to reboot. The windows xp logo came up, and then the screen went blank. At this point, you would normally expect windows to load, but instead the monitor's led switched to the blinking amber "the machine isn't on" state. I did some research online, and this problem appears to be years old. Apparently, the video card drivers are shutting off the monitor when they load, and never bothering to turn them back on. Ati's support website (here) is down with a sharepoint error, but i've so far tried three different driver versions. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone know for sure what the solution was to this? There are a couple of work-arounds, including booting, then putting the computer in sleep mode and waking it back up, but my keyboard doesn't have a "go to sleep" button so i can't do that.

Ati Radeon 9700 Pro Blank Screen

My problem is this: occasionally my screen is blank after coming up from sleep-mode or restart. This also happens after playing half-life 2 and doom 3. Sometimes after a minute or so, the screen will come on fine and sometimes it is blank for a very long time. Things that i have done to solve the problem include unplugging, then reconnecting the dvi cable and, just this morning, updating to the catalyst 5. 1 drivers. Nothing seems to be working . . . On another note, after installing the 5. 1 catalyst control center, restarting my computer and loading the program gives the following error:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on ok to terminate the application. "I have uninstalled all ati programs and drivers off of the computer and re-installed with no apparent luck. I'm a little upset that i can't fix this issue and hoping that someone out there knows what the *** is going on and could offer some advice! My computer set-up is as follows:

Dell 8200
Ati radeon 9700 pro
Lg 19" flatron lcd monitor
796 mb ram

Radeon 9800 Issue

Pentium iii
1133 mhz
320 mb ram
Radeon 9800 pro *128 mb (is there a real difference between the 256 and the 128 in their performances?)

I know, i know. Lousy computer for an awesome graphics card. Hope fully i'm gonna get a pentium 4 in a few more weeks with 512 mb ram, hopefully even more. I do the system compatibility test in the ati multimedia tool bar. Everything a-ok except some capture driver installation failure, a warning about dma for cd operations may not be enabled and the most important. "Directx components are not installed properly", meaning, it thinks i don't have directx 8. 1 or greater installed(properly). So i downloaded dx 9. 0c, i do the test again. The exact same thing, didn't find the directx 9. 0c. I followed the help instructions, checked the dxdiag, said directx 9. 0c, went to display and only the test directdraw button was enabled. The direct3d was not enabled and the 3 accelerations were not available and the enable buttons were "blocked". Yes, i followed the instructions and went to the ati troubleshoot and the hardware acceleration was on high. What the *** is wrong with my radeon(hey! It rhymes! ). I kept searching for instructions but there was absolutely no answer!

Powercolor 9800 Np With Samsung Ram

Recently, i was in the market for a new video card. I was looking at the 9600 xt for 160 but i decided to spend a little more and buy a power color 9800 np. To my surprise i noticed that the video card had samsung memory on it. I previously thought that these cards only came with infineon ram. I changed the bios to a 9800 pro bios and it worked flawlessly. Not a bad card for 170+. Anyway i was wondering if anyone else had the same experience, if these cards come with samsung ram they would be a nice find.

Radeon 9800 Xt White Spots

I have a radeon 9800xt. It has 1 vga output and 1 dvi output. I use a dvi to vga converter to output to a 2nd monitor (my big lcd tv). I have been using this setup no problem for a couple of years. However, i am now having issues with 'video' playback. The actual pc image (ie windows) displays fine on both monitors. However, when i play a video file - whether it be xvix, divx a dvd etc or whatever play i use wm classic, wmp etc, i get a video full of 'white spots' on both display- i have attached a photo. This does not occur when the 2nd display isn't selected. So, i don't beleive it's a codec issue. I use the catalyst control center to switch displays - i use 'clone' mode mainly, but have tried the others.

Radeon 9800 Pro Bios Flash

I've been reading these forums for quite some time on overclocking my cpu and video card which all have helped greatly. Now i have a question. Flashing the video card bios, how is that done exactly or is it recommended? I noticed ati tray tools have an option to dump the card bios. What does that do exactly?

My radeon is a saphire brand, i noticed on their website they have a bios flash utility, winflash. Does that flas my card bios to the most recent bios? Again is this something i need to do, should do?

Upgrading From Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb

I currently have a radeon 9800 pro 256mb, i was thinking of getting a more powerful card but i was wondering if i just got nvidia 7800 gtx (or something else thats pretty much top of the line) by itself would it be a big leap over how my computer can handle my current and future games on high settings or do i also need to change my cpu and things. Im obviously not gonna want to spend the cash if i there isn't going to be big improvement in what my computer will be able to handle. Id really appreciate any feedback cause i don't really know anything about computers and video cards. This is what im currently running on:

Amd athlon 64 3200 2. 0 ghz
1 gig of ram
Radeon 9800 pro 256 mb

Ive heard about the dual and quad cards but i dont have the cash for that. So would if i just got one of top cards out right now would it be enough?

I have pics if you would like to see them. Btw, i have updated my graphics card, windows, motherboard and even put in some new ram as of today.

Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Issues

I have sent a support ticket to ati, but my experiences with their techies aren't particularly good ones, so i thought i'd post here as well. Here is what i sent them:

When i attempt to play any 3d game, i find that the game freezes and causes either a system hang or the video driver to reset itself (meaning slow performance and no directx support), depending on the game. I have tried reinstalling my catalyst drivers many times, but has never helped. I have also tried to reinstall directx, but that also hasn't appeared to have helped. I have even tried installing a new power supply, and while this solved some problems, it hasn't solved this one. So yeah. I also have no access to another computer with which to try my graphics card, so i'm a bit buggered there. It should still be under warranty if it needs repairing, but i'm a bit skeptical of that due to the high shipping cost and long distance to the usa. But if i have to, i will!

Edit: a couple of other things i meant to ask:can anyone tell me why my install file for catalyst 7. 7 tries to run in dos mode, which, of course, it fails at? The 7. 5 version of my catalyst control center refuses to open, and, on start-up, says the "catalyst control center: host application has encountered an error and needs to close. " Any ideas why?

Upgrading Power Supply For Geforce 9800 Gt

I need a new power supply in order to run the geforce 9800 gt video card (400w minimum) that i plan on getting. I'm currently stuck with a 300w one. The geforce 9800 gt says it requires a "400-watt psu (with 12v current rating of 26a)", and i need to know if this power supply ( *http://www*.compusa. *Com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?Edpno=3092557&csid=itd&body=main ) will cut the job. The power specs, specifically the one in bold, is what i'm mainly confused about.
