: Im *seriously* gonn RMA this thing
: I havent done **** to it
: god now everything dies
: this is bull****
: ocing and modding the cooling voids warrenty
: nope
: its all software
: not hardware
: lets hope they honor warrenty instead of returning
: WTF is going on!?!?!
: one guy put ramsinks and voided warrenty
: he couldnt remove them
: and they dont want it back
: mine are taped
: smart move sir
: u still got stock fan?
: yea
: this is BS!
: just run your 9800 pro stock from now on
: it should not lose fps in games
: looks like it
: such BS
: WTF....they just dont die like this
: I havent done **** wrong
: yours wont do 380MHz anymore?
: no
: omg
: hows the artifacts
: its going to hell
: bad
: how low can u clock it
: 402 | 378
: wow I guess whoever said radeons do not like running overclocked was right
: grrr
: he said he overclocked one and it got artifacts
: ****ing BS!
: then he put it back to stock but the artifacts never went away
: weak *** ****ty mofoing cores
: lol u cussing a storm
: Im starting to get ****ed at ATi now

: hows the ram doing
: *ok*
: not good
: god you should have kept your NON pro
: did the ram oc worse
: agreed
: it was a mistake to get rid of my NP
: huge mistake
: RAM seems fine
: but the core has been stedily getting worse
: just leave the core at 380
: that would cripple my system
: you cared about the ram much more anyway
: 400 is as low as I will go
: but it dosnt help with a ****ty core
: so they both need to be in balance
: I'd rather take a strong core over RAM at this rate
: yes
: bad ram and good core=bad
: good ram and bad core=bad
: core > RAM
: you can tweek RAM
: not a cor
: you already broke 20k
: but thats with a core speed of 420
: just leave both core/ram at stock and enjoy your games dude
: not 403
: grrrr
: forget about 3dmark now
: thats *NOT* what I paid for
: I paid for a pro
: not a ****ing gimp
: you paid for 380/340 and nothing more
: grrrrrr
: why does everyone else get good hardware but me
: DAMNIT!
: grrrrrr
: I get a **** 2400+
: BH5 is stolen
: an now this
: oh...on top of tat my RAM wont do 250
: grrrr
: your 2400 isnt that bad
: 1.8v @ 2.48?
: thats bad buddy
: dude my cpu does 2.09 at 1.75v
: thats cuz you have a broken CPU
: mobiles are *supposed* to go to 2.5+
: not 2.4
: works fine to me just wont oc much anymore
: grrrr
: have you even played a single game
: yes
: I notice the OCing benefit alot
: just sit back and enjoy yout games
: grrrr
: they have to run better than my games
: yea but still
: its a matter of principal
: if you cant run any game at 1600x1200 somethings seriously wrong dude
: because I can
: pplz het *far* better hardware than I
: not everyone even overclocks man
: and its wholly consistant
: just enjoy what you got
: glock.... my friend Duke

: thinking so
: this is UNBELIEVABLE!
: cannot get a break at all
: can you ask for the money back

: your not gonna be happy when I show you this:
: ?

: 183 ****ing fps
: LOL
: maybe ill sell ya my rig
: grrrrrrr
: WTF
: what fps do u get
: cannot get a break at all
: LOL u growl like a bear
: havent checked but I often get slowdowns in certian areas
: turn off aa
: Im seriouly about to tweek the **** out
: this is un-****ing beleviable
: turn off aa
: I would be OK if this **** didnt happen
: I *cannot* find decent OCing hardware
: turn off aa
: I got lucky once
: turn off aa
: and it had Infineon
: u wont even listen now
: thought I'd get lucky with my 2400+
: Ill listen
: but I dont want to run performance
: if I had your rig id run 1600x1200 no aa/af
: it looks like ****
: ur spoiled with iq lol
: pretty much
: but this is un****ing real
: I also run 1024x768 in quality and it looks soooooo nice
: everyone but me gets good clocking hardware
: seems like my rig runs games as well as yours does
: probly
: a ti4200 is great but without aa/af
: probly
: damnt
: too much effort.... 0 success
: Internet cut off
: know what
: give up overclocking
: I think youll be happier
: **** that
: most guys dont even want to overclock and they are so happy
: I just need to cop out for good OCing hardware
: and just buy the best stuff
: sell your 9800 and buy an x800
: and not even **** with this crap
: a stock x800 will run anything u want
: if I get a x800.... it will be an XT
: not only that but it will be a PE
: lol your cpu would bottleneck it sooooo bad
: Im done with **** hardware
: Im only gonna buy the best from now on
: so whats your plan
: none of this 2nd best crap
: ur wasting money
: cuz I only end up getting ****ed
: but the extra money is worth saving me the hassle
: I got screwed with my mushkin ram
: resold it
: and now my cpu screwed me
: it used to be good
: but im gonna live with it till I go a64
: yea
: games run smooth as hell
: hmmm
: I dont even care for
: aa
: well....I might sell this card and give up
: you put too much into aa
: but if it *EVER* gets below 400 stable
: its ****ing gone
: its almost to that point
: I realize that
: cuz below 400 everything takes huge hits
: 380 shouldnt be much worse than 400
: Im already well below the average
: its huge actually
: the mhz make a big difference
: going from 400 to 420 is only 5% dude
: 10mhz is worth almost 75 3d03marks
: id never even notice
: hmmm
: still
: its a **** card
: ATi needs to improve its yeilds
: hell I cant even do XT speeds now
: thats stupid
: well bro
: Im tired and its late
: why do you think it wasnt sold as an xt
: cuz they didnt have time to test it
: thats usually the case
: no cause that **** wont do xt
: probly
: it did 420 for a short time but hated it
: ever since XT came out alll the PROs have sucked
: yea ive noticed
: the old 9800 pros were much better
: they are binning the good chips
: agreed
: yea
: atis saving all the 9800xts now
: but the new ones are ****ing terrible
: I cannot reccomend them to anyone
: get a 9800xt next year for $200
: **** that
: try xx800PRO for that much
: dont you want 500MHz core
: What I need to do is buy an early card
: and stop this late ****
: I need to get one pre-ordered
: my best vcards were like that
: u have $500 bucks
: not now
: I have news sir
: but next round I will
: the x800xt dont overclock well
: the x800 pros do
: k
: seems like both overclock to about 550/1200
: thats it?
: the only difference is 4 ****ing pipes
: ati hasnt begin speed binning yet
: well ya
: they just bin them for pipes
: ah
: thats why the pros do past xt speeds
: I *hate* speed bining
: id get an x800 pro asap
: unless you want a late one that wont oc for ****
: if I could I would
: I think Im gonna sit this round out
: and search for a semi-decent 98PRO
: keep your 9800 pro at stock and just suffer "bad iq"
: true
: I could do that
: this makes me want to get nVidia again
: cuz thats the way I liked it
: Cuz my games are almost no faster that yours
: and ur card is what 3 years old?
: your iq is better
: so?
: how big a hit does aa/af take
: ur card will have longevity
: its not that big.....but its noticable
: you will take a hit for it
: just not taht much
: dude my ti4200 takes a 60 to 75% hit
: I went from 100 to like 30fps in quake3
: but you can still run games
: I never use aa/af ever
: do you want that
: Im gonna have a hard time playing future games
: Mine wont hold up
: if your card so crap lets trade
: not nearly as well as my Gforce 2 GTS
: LOL
: I might get a 2nd gen 6800U
: LOL have you ever tried a ti4200
: and slap my SK7 on it
: no
: but ive seen my friend's
: hows his do farcry
: fine
: cuz the lack of IQ speeds **** up
: ATi forces everything to render
: nVidia sez **** it
: but you care about iq
: I do
: but speed is quite important
: my card performs almost as well as yours but you have 5 times the iq man
: it most depends on what the x800PROs are capable of
: if they consistantly soft-mod Im gonna jump on it
: what fps do your slowdowns drop to
: below 20
: thats sad
: agreed
: I dont think I ever got below 20
: thats they way nV is like
: but then I only render dx8
: your doing dx9 ****
: I miss that
: get a ti4600
: ATi has always been slower
: and it shows
: no ati owns nvidia
: the 6800u is even slower than the x800 pro
: I dunno anymore
: I just need **** to go well for once
: like I said, get a dx8 card
: ti4200 or ti4600
: choose
: nah
: I want a DX9 card
: rather a good 9800PRO
: glock
: <sigh>
: **** it...
: Ill use this gimp until I find a replacement or volt mod it
: Ill figure somethin out
: so u gonna run 800x600 LOL
: I dunno
: too tired
: Ill cya l8ter
: Im literly about to pass the **** out
: cya bro


LOL hes got a 9800 pro and isnt happy with its performance? even stock it should be doing nicely in farcry and any game! and going from 380 to 400MHz is very little, I would never notice 5% overclock. hes spoiled with aa/af and iq, not me thats why I enjoy games more than he does LOL and games run fine for me without aa/af oh and pay no attention to the cussing, he was that mad LOL
 
Ok I'm not ABOUT to read all of that... but I'm guessing that his 9800Pro isn't doing the job to fulfill is lustful graphic desires.... is because.... maybe.... uh.... a driver installation went bad?
 
read it all and youll know. my age is not revelent either. anyway its sad how he doesnt like one of the fastest cards, if he cant get it to game right he shoudnt even be gaming
 
Yeah, basically that's it. He wants the world, and is mad that he just can't get it. He got a bad card, such is life.

I don't understand how people can be so spoiled to think that they can run any game at 1600x1200 with full AA/AF. That's a ton of pixels to work with in the first place, and then antialiasing all of them only takes more work.

He's lucky he has a monitor that supports 1600x1200... mine's only 17in at 1280x1024 max :cry:

I have a 5900XT @ 445/745, Battlefield Vietnam @ 1024x768, AA 4x, AF 4x. It's not the best... but it doesn't suck. I'm happy, he should definately be happy with his...
 
I thought that was poetry. Now I think it's an AIM log...:p

Either way, it's pretty sad. I didn't know that my core overclock sucked...:(
 
i dunno, im not entirely happy that my $280 card cant run halo, far cry, and vietnam at 1280x1024 at max settings, however, theyre still tons of fun at 10x7
 
all that was, was a WHOLE LOT of whining. he shouldnt buy a card and EXPECT it to run faster. ive gotten lucky with my NP, it does a little over pro on the core, and about 20 less on the ram. but you will NOT see me whining about it, because thats all an added bonus. man, i hate when people whine.
 
I told him not to whine that his core cant overclock past 400MHz, he paid for 380/340 clocks and any overclock is a bonus but hes gonna RMA it anyway for being a bad overclocker LOL
 
I can think of better things to do with a Ti4200.
