9800se hack possible to 9800


i saw a post over in teh video section of AT, and thought you guys might like to have a heads up also...

OC NZ 9800SE hack

seems like they were able to hack their 9800se into a 9800 by opening up all 8 pipelines with no artifacts..

oh boy..... but i doubt this will create such a buying craze like it did the 9500nonpros since the 9800se's price isnt too hot if the hack is unsuccessful but who knows...

It's not too hot. The sub-$200 9800se cards have a 128-bit memory interface. *If* the hack works, you have a 9500 Pro with the R350 core. The 9800se cards with the 256-bit memory interface run abot $250, which is the same price as non-Pros. Almost everyone is able to get better than Pro speeds with non-Pros and there's no pipeline lottery. If these cards were priced like the old 9500nps, it might be another story.

Umm, where? The only 256-bit cards I can find are the Powercolor cards. The cheapest I see those are $239. The rest are Sapphire cards with the 128-bit interface on the black 9500 Pro PCB.

I have modded my Powercolor 9800se to Pro and it runs VERY well. I'm getting 18,000+ 3DMarks with it. A worthy buy if you get a card that works. I hear not every card is mod-able to be a 9800Pro... but for $390AU ($240US) its pretty good value I rkn.

If you get artifacts, your card cannot be softmodded because the pipelines are broken, thats why it became an SE in the first place.
