I am starting a new post on this topic from my last one, as my last topic was about the VGA silencer I installed.
Ok, I flashed my ATI 9800 Pro 128 meg to an XT. I have a VGA Rev.3 and copper ramsinks on it. First flash I got an error. I was using the Club3d XT 128 Bios from rojakpot. Renamed and 2nd flash went fine. My card showed up as a Dell 256 meg XT in the hardware profile. 3rd flash I used a Sapphire 128meg XT bios and it shows up as a Radeon 9800XT. Of course with the higher mem and core speeds I scored 2000+ higher in Aquamark 3. So , I tried something to compare..I took the Sapphire XT bios and edited just the mem and core speeds to that of a 9800 Pro. Flashed and benched............same results as the reg 9800Pro bios. I was under the assumption that it should have been better because of other features unlocked with the XT bios. BTW...what exactley are those features again?? And also my card does have the L63 or whatever it is temp chip............but what is the reason I cant get a temp reading on AtiTool?? Thx for all replies in advance.
