Congrats on the nice cards :p lets hope they can do XT speeds :D

I tried to flash the Bios to the LITE XT and it ran well, until I opened ATItool, then the comp crashed :( I reflashed it to original, then OC'ed it to 400/320, it's seen as pro now, so I'm happy, got about 1000 more points on 3dmark03 than with my 9500pro

Nothin beats running games with full AINSO and AA. Its puts consoles to shame :thup:

hmm ram does 378 but core can only do about 385 stock...

[N1vek215]

move the RAM down if you want more outta the core, try my set up in the above post and see what results you get.

even at stock ram, anything over stock in game 4 makes nice triangle shapes usualy vertexing at the center of the screen.

ill just have to volt this puppy up and get some better cooling.[/joking] i dont want to fry a card i spent over 2 months saving for. i will try just core later but if it doesnt go high i just dont know what ill do. i got >3k 01-3dmarks from upping ram to their limits. i cant oc right now cause my wc setup is down for experimentation with chilling and bong cooling.
