View Full Version : ATI x1900XTX problems
Just upgraded from an x800 to an x1900XTX, I get some bad flickering in the game that didnt happan with the x800. Drivers are up to date. Any ideas?
Nobody?????
Am I the only one running this card in non-Crossfire mode? I even exchanged the card for another... same thing. I noticed my temps seem way high. 70C at idle over 100C under load. Anyone else get these temps?

Hm flickering you say... is it the only game that does this ?
Post full system specs... no idea what can cause it,, try changing some video settings and turn off vsync.
Yes, actually its the only game I have installed, well other than OFP and that runs fine.

Whats ur 3d settings in catalyst control panel ? might be something there the game may not like.
Everything is default... I tried changing all sorts of stuff but nothing made any difference. Are you getting the same temps as me? 70C idle 100C+ under load.

Sapphire 1900 XTX 512mb (single)
AMD 64 4000+
OCZ 1 gb dual core 400mhz
Abit AT8 32X mobo
XP Home
After some initial problems with drivers (had to clean them out a couple of times before they took hold and became stable) my XTX card runs amazingly well, no graphical artifacts in GRAW or any other game I have tried so far, old or new.
One problem I was having with the drivers not taking hold fully, although they installed, according to DXdiag the display tab listed the card correctly but the memory entry was listed as N/A! A totally clean install of drivers sorted this. Use CAT Unistaller from ATI site, download a fresh copy of the drivers and try a clean install. I know everyone says this and it can be kinda patronising but I would never had know I had a driver problem if I hadn't studied DXdiag report, especially considering most games were running at this point.
What are the chances you get two bad video cards??? Well, pretty good if you get them from CompUSA. Third time was a charm. Running smooth as can be now! 55C idle 79C under load.

Damn, some very hot temps. I've heard that the x1900's have had problems with temps. That's why you're getting the flickering. Do you have good airflow in your case?

No the x1900' do not have problems with heat and I never get flickering.

I have the Ati XT1900XT. on my AMD64 4000
No problems running GRAW @ 1280 x 1024 @ 75Mhz
ALL options on High. I get 50fps + Game looks and plays great.
I have ABSOLUTELY NO HEAT ISSUES or any flickering cr@p.
The Omega Drivers are currently only optimised using the CAT 6.3 drivers.
Therefore I've been using these drivers.
