9500 question


Well when i first got my non-pro 9500 i tried the 9700 change. When i booted into windows and started up 3dmark it had artifacts (and quiet a few). Is that because the card itself or possibly the temp the card is running at?

I was thinking about adding a waterblock to it and adding it to my current loop would it be worth it?

Most likely the card itself. About 30% of the cards that are tried, get rendering problems (artifacts) with the other 4 pipelines enabled, which means they didnt work right in the first place, and thus the reason it was put down to a 9500 instead of a 9500 Pro or higher

I heard about a fix for that exact thing, it had something to do with a feature not included in 9500 cards, not really sure
