Hey wait a minute, this POS is clocked at 325mhz. My f*king FX 5600 128MB was clocked at this speed 
However the memory clock frequency is 700mhz compared to the FX 5600 which was 450mhz.
That said, I dont think there will be much of a differance in performance between my old FX 5600 and my new FX 5900ZT.
Am I wrong? I f*king hope i'm wrong cos if i'm not, I would of just gone and forked out £110 for something i already have

I've just been testing the FX 5900ZT in Americas Army and the performance differance is about 7 to 8fps differance from my FX 5600.
This is a ****e differance. Two generations up and a 7fps differance. Robbery.
nVIDIA are evil ****s, they mislead u with their evil wording and stuff.
A f*king FX 5900 is TWO MOFO'ing series up from the FX 5600 and ONLY a 7FPS differance.
No f*king fair.

Definately need the power!
First of all you will definately need to plug in the power! I have a 5900XT which is basically the same just a bit faster and u will need it!
As for the clock speeds of the card you will be able to get them alot higher, i flashed the BIOS of mine with a FX5950 Ultra BIOS and now have default speeds of 475core and 950 Ram and have had 545/1020 before at the max.
But you wil definately need better g-card cooling for this!
I have a coolermaster cooler but i dont know the name of it! Has 2 very big heatsinks and a fan as well and is very good!
Hope This Helps

Hi guys. I downloaded coolbits2 and can overlock the card but whenever I do overlock it, after reboot, it reverts back to the default 300mhz/700mhz settings.
Whats going on here?
Damm this card is slow, i'm so pissed off at nVIDIA's evil way of naming their cards...
You'd think an FX 5900, being two generations higher than an FX 5600 (my previous card) would give a decent performance boost ATLEAST!!!
nVIDIA = motherf*kers
BTW: I have connected the power cable cos i'm using my gaming PC now as my K8V board replacment arrived
Also, I have 2 60mm case fans for cooling and my card manufactuer is MSI.
With this info, could u give me an idea of how far I can overclock this card please?
Thanks in advance.

strange
yea i have the same problem with the clock speeds reverting back to their defaults when i reboot and i cant figure out why it does that either,
the case fans are a help but you would need to buy a graphics card cooler itself to et some serious overclocking out of it so i suggest you look one up and invest in one and then overclock your card

Bios
i used a MSi Starforce 5950 ultra BIOS with my MSI FX5900XT and it worked fine
stock speeds were - 350/700 with normal BIOS
with new BIOS i get stock speeds of - 475/950
the improvement was great and i noticed a valuble difference

thx orgasmo
since u seem to no what ur on abt im interested in flashing my 5900 ZT
(notice the zt)
what would u reccomend i do
apperently msi 5900 xt and zt are identical including pcb not just nvidia chip
but the zt is underclocked for some reason
oh and does the diff bios actualy change speeds and ideentification or just allows for higher speeds to be gained (unlocking)
