Hey,
Well after a few weeks of research (and 1 month of waiting) i finally got my ASUS V9999TD card...
And, well i'm a bit confused, because what i was supposed to get for my 280$ was something that looks like this:

Instead i got something that looks like this:

Well that looks a lot like the Gamer Edition card from ASUS, so that got me thinking if i could maybe raise the memory to full 1Ghz (from the stock 700Mhz)
One lok at the temps, and i gave up OCing the card... it was 56-58°C idle, and 58-62°C load on the GPU and about 46-52°C on the memory... i did manage to OC it to 410 / 1000 for a short amount of time but it heated up...
So i ordered myself a Nv silencer, and i'm hoping that will help...
Now to my main question...
I unlocked the pipes to 16PS / 6VS and i got corruption in ATI tool and 3D mark 2005 only... games worked great. After disabling the PS and returning the card to 12PS / 6VS it worked great...
Now i ran the following games: NFS Most Wanted, UT 2004, COD 2, Civilization 4, F1 Challenge and Empire Earth 2 WITHOUT any artifacts like in 3D mark 2005... so my question is, CAN i run the card with 16PS if it's OK in games but i'm getting artifacts in 3d mark??
Well, Thanx.
