Good idea
One more question then, if I may...
Only when running CS:S in certain high resolutions (above 1600x1200) I would get checkerboard patterns. If this was because of clock rates, then your suggestion will work fine. But if it was because of additional shaders been "opened" by the flash, then the problem will persist.
So, does flashing a 9800 Pro to an XT ONLY adjust the clock rates, or does it enable other functionality (beside the temp monitor and fan control) that may not be fully functional on my card?
I've heard with some GPUs that cores that have bad piplines or other malcunftions simply get put on scaled down versions of the card. I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm doing by flashing to an XT.
Thanks
