You smoked your FX5700 Ultra. Now you have 9800Pro. You paided $200 for the 9800Pro. How the heck did you do that?

GeneticWeapon · Dec 2, 2003

It's a 9800, My driver is reporting it as a pro though.
AINT THAT A STEAL!!!...A 9800 FOR $200 BUCKS!!

FX5700Ultra, the next Ti4200? seems so

GeneticWeapon · Dec 2, 2003

GT1 is a DX7 test and doesnt rely on shaders to draw the scene. Cards with fast core/memory speeds always do well on that test...even my Ti4200 had a little fun.
If you really want to have fun...compare your mother nature score to mine

What score did your 9600Pro get anyways CS?...I was not around when you first purchased that card. Put your link up.

I got you <A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1551374" target="_new">beat</A>. Barely

. My system isnt exactly a top dog though and I have a NP flashed to a Pro. My system looks a like it performs a little doggy, I could use a format.

Congrats on the good deal.. I paid $245 (shipped) a couple months ago. But $200 wouldve been nicer.

Heres some links that I used to inform myself on the flash process and on the bios page I used version dated 3/14/03 (ATI 9800Pro). The newer ones made my TV output act strangely.

If you already had this info sorry, but someone with a NP out there will surely find it useful.

Different bios on that page affected my o/c but the one with the date listed above made it an "real" 9800Pro and allowed for the good o/cing I had before (I can hit the highest XT speeds without artifacts).

If you have problems o/cing or flashing consider trading the BBA for a sapphire or other brand. I know some guys who have the BBA that cant get an ounce of o/cing out of the BBA, they think its because of a hardware voltage setting.

At $200 though, who cares.
BTW my card has the infineon memory and took the samsung bios fine so I dont know if you have it if its not necessarily crap. I'm the only one I know of across all the forums I've posted on (anandtech/hardocp/toms) that has achieved this tho.

I just tell it like it is and some can't handle it. If your experience is different, well congratu-fukulation.

GeneticWeapon · Dec 2, 2003

I got you beat. Barely

Better look again....

Thanks Kinney for the great post and information, it's nice when people here take the time to really help others out.
I know that people are flashing these cards up to 9800Pro's, but I really dont want to do it. I had a 9500Pro that I flashed and even though it all went well, I really dont want to screw with this card. I've already moved the core up from 325mhz to 400mhz, and I havent hit the ceiling yet...I dont think I need to push it any further. Thanks again for the great post

Willamette_sucks · Dec 2, 2003

Well I don't lead THGC in 3dmarks, I know of one or two people with higher scores, but really you're all pretty pathetic, as my highest score was 6648 (I like to say 6650), with the 3.4s and my card at 460/380. Scores are down a bit with newer catalysts but I can still hit 6600 so SIT DOWN!

Me: are you saying I can't provide?
Me: cause I know I can provide.
Me: oh and I can provide money too

Your card is a Pro...mine isnt. If my cards memory would run that high believe me...I'd have it there.
