    Technical Differences between 4870 vs 4890

    It all depends on the game you play... some games the 4890 will do better but the 4870 does it good enough. For example, L4D (Left4Dead)... I had my 4870 and a waterblock for it too, but was just too lazy to slap it on. I used it stock and it kicked butt at FULLY MAXED OUT 1920x1080 on my 37"...

    Technical Differences between 4870 vs 4890

    I have a PC 4870 1GB and I just recently bought an MSI 4890 and waiting for it. will my MCW60-4870 waterblock fit on the 4890? I'm guessing so... anything add'tl I may have to do other than the block?

    You can always send him an email. To be honest, at the prices the x800/850 cards are now, it's almost worth it to try the mods yourself... the cards cost only $100 ish now. :) You can easily hit 8,000 in 3dmark05... I hit 7,800 without voltmods with a 3ghz dual-core AMD. You maybe even...

    If you're doing 2.45v, you should make sure you have air going to all chips... As for voltmodding your GPU, you can go quite higher if you were to keep temps low. Have you thought about buying a better cooler? You may get your hands on a VF700CU for <$20 used. Those are awesome coolers...

    Thx for the prompt response. I will just try radioshack or something in the US I guess. So you hotglued the VRs down? Also, none of you recommend the iGPU from what I see. I guess I'll just do the VDD, VDDQ (no clue what this really does anyways), and VGPU. I'm looking for 650/650 as my goal.

    ATI 9500NP / 9800SE Hardmod

    I guess no one visits here anymore cuz we haven't had our questions answered. The softmod on my 9500np was successful, so I moved onto the hardmod. Now, my 9500np is artifacting like crazy no matter what. A cap fell off when I was trying to take the stock HSF off. I didn't even touch it...
