Ok, i was searching around about bios' because i seemed be getting much lower benches than i should and very limited results from 3 different vmods on my memory.. I stumbled across this thread and thought maybe i found my answer.. Well i sure as hell did. I downloaded the file and tried it.. it screwed up and my card wouldnt work. I figured i would have to use Flashrom and it worked. I reinstalled my drivers and everything and ran 3dmark at a speed i had tested earlier.. I scored over 1000 points more. Then i tried upping the memory clock to a level where i had tons of artifacting before... no artifacts. If you have a Rev 3.0 9700 Pro with Samnsung 2.8ns memory, try this... i am so happy from the results, i now have the card i knew it should be... and it now has the chance to get even better. That thread mentions that alot of these cards are PoworColor's but not all are.. mine is but i still suggest you try this if you have this type of card. If you don't know how to tell if you have a Rev 3.0 card look at the back top left corner of your card, this is Rev 3.0 and this is the old style pcb.
Gl, i hope this helps some other people.

(checked it a billion times to be sure) . I remember a quite few others getting the same 2.38 Samsung only on the Sapphire 9700 Pro "retail" versions about 6-8 months back , same time I purchased mine ; but it seems to be a pretty rare item now adays . But the Samsung runs pretty darn hot . Going to put some heatsinks on it this comming week .![[H]pututu](/forums/data/avatars/s/241/241673.jpg?1704411343){kind=avatar}
