Graphic card (OC) DIY! (share with u gamers)OC = Overclock!
last month, i bought ATI Radeon 9500 (non pro) 128MB graphic card! of course, i was aiming to softmod it into 9700 potentially!.
but, but, but, i failed. and for this reason, i got ill....upset! i really will not trust OEM product at all in the future! the hidden 4 rendering pipes are f*cked ...after activated them, i saw many artifacted....damn it! more, when i start a small game, it hangs,,,,kill me!
i spent 1 whole week to recover my broken heart! including went to Malaysia for holiday!..anyway, i finally felt ok...
however,,,last nite, i was shocked and sad again..,.(crying!)
i used 3Dmark03 to test my card. there are 4 testing games in 3Dmark03, in the 2nd game, my fps is never more than 10,,,,aiya, sometimes even 1 fps....ft!(of course, i know those games are too pre-aged,very detailed graphics)..and at last, i scored 1790! tian ah! after that, i never gave up, i then OC my core to 350MHz/300MHz...again, it scored my 2150...i dun satisfied, (more...)
why dont you buy a 9500 pro and oc it?
it has 8 pipelines, same as 9700 and 9800. with 4 pipelines only, 9500 can never make it to 9700 or 9800...
