Since I'm bored, I bow before the great and mighty benchmark team.
Now I'm not about to throw my 670 under the soldering iron bus just yet, mainly because I don't want to spend $$$ on a new one and not about to fall back on my 5850. But what I do have is something I am willing to put under the iron.
A year or two ago I needed a cheapo graphics card to test a motherboard, so I picked up an unknown refurbished ATI card from Microcenter. All I knew was that it was low profile and $5. Well, turns out it was a 256MB X1300 Pro, but the more important part is I no longer need it, so might as well try and get in some soldering practice while also curing my boredom.
So what my problem is I can't find any guides for the low profile version. I found a guide for the full height card here, that centers around two ICs, a RT9232 and a RT2392A. I can't see either of those, but on the back of the card I do see a RT2392B:
R610 for the pencil mod is right next to it, so am I right in assuming that's what the guide is referring to for Vgpu? (I plan on doing this right, not pencil modded, just using that as a reference). Or should I be looking around elsewhere?
