Ok my 9500 np is goign to be here tommorow and I wanted to ask a few simple things??
1 is it worth while to try a soft mod to see if the card is good enough to run at the 9700 pro specs. I read this in a post "it softmodded to a 9700 (using w1zzard's drivers). " where so I find these and is this something to do.
2 is this the same as flahing bios ?? does the bios flasjh give any help??
3. from what I read the softmod drivers will open all 8 pipes, just like soldering the resistor, is there any difference in performance. Also does the bios need to be flashed to try the soft mod.
I really don't understand the difference between the soft mod and the bios. ?? does one work without the other?? what softmod do people with the saphire 9500 non pro with the l shaped ram use.
Any help would be appreciated, I have been reading for hours but can't make complete sense out of all this. Basically I don't want to ruin the card by being uninformed.
thanks a bunch.
