I see your point and then i don't. I took the cooler of cleared the thermal grease up and compared the chip with a regular chip of a 5870. Looks exactly the same, no laser cuts of any kind I could see. If the chip was done this way on purpose without any chance of messing with it, why in the...

Its alot more fun having a 5870 Bios on it. Unfortunately it doesn't change the rops or shader units. However its quiet fun though it pumped up the 3DMark Vantage Score Xtreme by 1000 points when set to stock HD 5830 speeds which is amazing. I m not sure what does it but it does. I have 2 of...

No the drivers have nothing to do with the card it uses the same drivers any other Radeon does.

I m wondering since these mostlikely are 5870's who didn't pass the QA if somebody worked on a bios mod to unlock the disabled rop's, shaders and stream processors. I rather have them running then the 100mhz more clock speed or whatever it is over the 5850. Lots of performance has been cut from...

Its an ok card, I used to have a second but that burned up lol.... Considering you get a Geforce 8800GS for $90 after Rebate or 8800GT for like $150AR...

I think stock bios i can do 750 / 1150 with 1.15V bios i can do 840 / 1150

I keep the penryn either way a 2.66ghz Penryn somewhat equals or is close to the 3.0ghz Kentsfield. So bottom line the Q6600 G0 will be on sale. Edit: i m sure after bios update from 3/18/08 the Inspiron 530 should support wolfdale and penryn cpu's if it will support the Xeon that is a...

I guess we find out next weekend since it takes at least until friday before i have the cpu.

Not quiet right http://www.overclockers.com/articles1527/ I found the mod and actually will try it as soon as I get my X3350 in.

Well it should be compatible with the Intel Board whats in it. I mean its a G33 Chipset board. Also i m sure Dell has Bios Updates every ones in 1 year. If its not compatible I will end up building a rig for it and sell the Dell.

I was wondering since the new Quad Core Xtreme runs at 400mhz FSB if there is a BSEL Mod for all the other Quad and Dual Cores who run the 1333mhz FSB. I ordered myself a Xeon X3350 2.66ghz but have only a Dell maschine and would like to mod it so it can run 3.2ghz not a huge gain because my...

Just start some games at 1920x1200 or higher resolutions and that HD2900 will eat the 8800GS for breakfast. Seriously should make a 3DMark06 to get a better benchmark result since its less system dependant then the 05. Sorry see now have one there. I still beat that with the HD2900 Pro at...

Did you try out Riva Tuner yet ? Lately i prefer Riva Tuner over ATi Tool.

Sweet, i would like to see a nice benchmark with full AA/AF on 1680 x 1050 thats my monitor resolution or even 1920 x 1200.

True but those marketing strategies are all and everywhere the same. Intel does it AMD does ATi did it and NVidia does it. I m no friend of NV cards even though they do make good cards no doubt. I might be a little bid of an ATi Fanboy but I can admit that the other Company does make good cards...
