Batman April 10, 2006 Share Batman Member April 10, 2006 Its better than the 9800se for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA April 10, 2006 Author Share DNA Member April 10, 2006 (edited) This is what it is. What do you think? Should I be excited?

Cujo April 11, 2006 Share Cujo Member April 11, 2006 i'd be excited. ya the vivo is bios flashable to a x800xt or higher. the pro is still a good card though. check the ramsinks when you get it. if they have gc16 on it then it could be flashable. if gc20 then not.

DNA April 11, 2006 Author Share DNA Member April 11, 2006 SO I might be able to open it to 16 pipelines is that what you mean? If it is how do I go about flashing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt my benchmark with the new card is 3689, and myn old 9800 was like 1987 maybe 2000, and my new 3dmark06 was like 1921..what do you think..Not bad with nothing down in overcloaking?

If it is how do I go about flashing it? i will give you everything you need if it is. Cujo...I was able to OC this card to the same performance as the XT PE cards, and still have a temp under load at 64-68 degrees...thats not to bad right?

How you figure? I'd think it's impossible to get to the same 'performance' level with 4 less pipes with the same architechture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo...I was able to OC this card to the same performance as the XT PE cards, and still have a temp under load at 64-68 degrees...thats not to bad right? That is a good temperature to get with a gpu overclock. You could also throw in one of those slot cooling fans for a little extra cooling if you are worried about it.

CS:S is probably not advance enough to need all the pixel pipelines anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo April 19, 2006 Share Cujo Member April 19, 2006 (edited) it definately is advanced enough. he's probably exaggerating a bit. either way an oc of 520/560 core/mem would be pretty smokin with 12 or 16 pipes.

That was using the ATI tool benchmarking comparison. Since I have been runing it OC the temps have even done better, I only hit upper 50's during high load. It stock the bench was low 3000's and with the OC it is in low to mid 4000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
