Banned? I think thats kind of harsh, did you at least warn him?

Lol, I know I look like I'm a jerk here, but it's just coincidence ChillyMyst was guilty of ban-evasion as well as insulting other members. Now back on topic please!:)

thanks a mil Wile E, ive done soldering before and have an iron, so this shouldn't be too hard, ill just have to be a crap load more careful than ever before. :p

so will the trimpot on the most closed setting be stock voltage?
Yeah. There are 3 pins on them tho. One is a common, and of the other 2, one will make clockwise raise the resistance, while the other will make clockwise lower the resistance. Use your mulitmeter to confirm your resistance before you do the mod, so you don't blow anything up. lol.

And to make soldering easier on these small points, make sure you get a good tin on your wire before attempting to solder it. Having the solder already on the wire makes it a much cleaner and safer job, as you don't have to worry about adding the solder at the time of the mod.

haven't been around... but grats on the promotions guys :D and to get back on topic.. I haven't owned or used a palit card, but, I think they need a better looking heatsink set up? I know it's not always about looks, but with a windowed case, it would look weird? no? I'll see how they're doing later this year and maybe grab a 9800gx2 :D

Yes but those FireGL,Quadro, workstation cards are way more expensive than and 1Gb 8800GT. And they dont play games aswell because there workstation cards. :) :toast:

And my 1GB 8800GT shows real FPS improvements in games like crysis once I clock beyond 700mhz with high detail at my resolution (I game at 760mhz), at that point the GPU stops becoming the bottleneck, it really does help but I appreciate and agree that at stock performance there is little benefit to the average gamer, I have always said though, if the price premium for the extra memory is negligable then it's not a bad idea.

excellent advice man, my days doing electronic engineering are all coming back to me....
definately having the wire tinned will make the soldering much easyer on such a small point.

Last bit... no you did what you had to do. You have more responsibility now with the word mod. being under your name. And I wouldn't take it like that ether. You did your job and thats it.

on topic.. I'd love to get a Palit, but the 3870x2's won't get here fast enough! :cry:

im just glad we have good moderators and admins here, seriously this is the best forum i have ever frequented, ever.

i was on the SLI zone SLI forums for a while, but to be honest there were way too many dick heads and flamers and trolls, people who write what they write just to pump their own ego and put you down...

anyway like i said, in general we have awesome members and awesome Mod's, good show guys.

If the Newegg coupon is good enough, I might actually buy a 9600GT. What's the best value/performance over a Radeon x1950 Pro 256MB?

My new AM2 build will have a PCI-E 2.0 slot and 5000+ Black Edition.

anything will be better.. IMO... But I'd say go with the 8800 1gb if you are in for tense gaming, and if not and just game here and there and do other things go with the 9600.

Can't afford an 8800. I'd say about $170 or less. It's not about how much you game, but how well you want the games to look.

I'm liking the Palit's extra outputs, but I don't see the TPU/Newegg coupon dropping it much below $210 + shipping. Might have to go with the eVGA.

congratulations your still a minority :p

- Christine

People using CAD related apps on a desktop card outnumber those using a true CAD card. That doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it good. CAD cards truly are expensive. Most uses of CAD software don't require the level of precision or multi-layered processing power of a Quadro.

There is also a large group of people that have to open a CAD drawing for any number of reasons OTHER than creating something. It could an assistant somewhere that needs to look at a drawing just to see the number of mounting holes in something. Does that type of person really need a Quadro just to do that? Onboard video would also work but it is sooooo painful just trying to move around the screen you really do need something discrete.

It's kind of like gaming cards. You should really be gaming with an 8500GT but there are simply tons of people out there doing it because the card is so cheap. They turn down the settings in the game, which many many gamers with high-end cards also do thus defeating the whole purpose, and they have a great time.

I don't think it's reasonable to force people into a group of cards just because those are the cards that they "should" be using. Try to keep in mind that there are literally 100s of thousands of video cards being sold each month. We as individuals tend to focus on how WE use video cards and it's easy to lose sight of the big picture. On the end of each of those cards is a person and there is no telling what they are doing.

As I've said before, the 1GB versions of the 8500GT and 8600GT really only benefit a very small number of people. We also sell a very small number of them. You don't see me in here touting those cards and trying to get gamers to buy them. For gaming, it just doesn't make any sense.

The 8800GT is the threshold. Currently there is little evidence to support a performance improvement but we think that will change over the coming year or two. We believe you will eventually see a performance improvement that justifies the extra $40 for the extra RAM.

So if you plan on changing your card within the next 18 months OR if you don't agree with us, you should NOT buy the 8800GT1GB. It's as simple as that. It's not impossible that we are wrong and there will never be an compelling performance improvement from the extra RAM. I don't think there is any foolproof way to predict what will happen with game patches and driver releases. We know they will always improve things but it isn't always clear how they chose to do that.

The most important thing is that a company has now launched a full family of 1GB cards. Software companies say hardware companies aren't keeping up and hardware companies say software companies aren't keeping up. To some degree both statements are true. So when software and hardware companies both see 1GB cards hit the market WE think they will take notice and start moving in that direction.
