Ati X1950 Pro AGp -> Firegl 7300 - Artifacts

I have recently purchased an ATI x1950 Pro Agp.
With latest Catalyst drivers it works fine.
But as I use Pro/engineer, I modded with softfiregl with the patchsript from other post to a FireGl 7300.
Softmod is successful and I can install Firegl CP correctly.
The problem is when I run Proengineer; the main window of the application is full of squares of different colour.
The app works, as I can even select the part (contextual box open when I move the pointer over a feature in that window, even when I can not see the pointer inside the window).

Any help appreciated.

Also I would like to thank Unwinder for his excelent work developing Rivatuner.
I have used this app since my fist P3 500 MHz, to softmod to quadro a Geforce4, a GForce 5950 and a GForce 6800.

 

Would Love to KNow Answer Too

Hi,
I've been considering purchasing either an X1950Pro or Xt (AGP) to turn into a FireGL, but cannot find specifics on Vendor ID & Chipset.
Are they the same on the PCi-E cards as the AGP cards?
If so, the mod should work, but think the FGL7300 is based upon the X1800XT, which is, of course, only PCi-E.
If you find anything, wouldbe very interested in knowing.

Regards,

Russ

 

It should be FireGL 7350.

What do u want to know about Vendor ID and Chipset?

 

FireGL V7200 = ATI X1800XT 256Mb
FireGL V7300 = ATI X1800XT 512Mb
FireGL V7350 = ATI X1800XT 1Gb

There are no FireGLs based on X19XX series.

 

I finally managed to make it work properly.
I checked the option to use Quad Buffer Stereo and now it is working.
I dont know what this has to be with opengl apps, but at least now i can work with Pro/engineer.

 

Thanks :cheers:

I just bought a 1900xtx so I'll see if I need this info later.

 

For info
After a couple of weeks working with this system in real world enviroment (no bechmarking) I can tell that the performace of this modded card is worst than a moded Geforce 6800 I have before in Pro engineer. My Nvidia died by water ingestion form my watercooling setup.
Both cards are AGP.

Vendor ID & Chipset

I was wondering if the AGP version of the cards have different device ID & therefore can be successfully modded?

If so, am seriously considering HD2600XT or X1950Pro AGP cards.

I reckon theres still life left in the old beasty yet.
