Alright, now that I've done enough damage to the rest of my system, I would like to stretch some more power out of my aging 9700PRO. It's a first generation, retail ATI 9700PRO 128MB, naturally with the original PCB layout. I'm planning to do the mod xbitlabs did an article on: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/radeon9700pro-overclocking.htmlhttp://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/radeon9700pro-overclocking.html
I tried to find some 2.7k ohm resistors, but the closest thing I could buy at the local radioshack were some 2.2k Ohm 1/4 watt resistors. Before I solder these puppies on, does anyone have any feedback as to what effect this will have on the amount of voltage? I'm not familiar with the effects more or less impedence/resistance has on these parts, so any interpretation would be greatly appreaciated!
As you can see from my sig the card is adequately cooled, but a reluctant performer at best. I'm hoping this will kick it's *** into gear!
