Nice

Push harder bro!.....and ditch ref PCB, you will not score well with one....

the q is back! woo!

Thanks dudes. I'm mainly just testing this POS IB chip on 3d. It does nice low voltages, but I think I may be multi limited.

K404, what you mean ref PCB? You mean there's something else other than reference 9800?

Yup, theres LOADS of PCBs for the 9800GTX (+)

Avoid the very obviously crap ones and avoid the Asus Dark Knight with two PCI-E plugs

What you mean K404? about DK ones? Those are my two samples... (great gdr freq btw) Could you give some help to mod them plz?

When I froze mine, the vGDDR circuit cut out. Came back to life after 2 days. My card was utterly average.

Post up high-res pictures and I can help you out, sure

Duh, I forgot about the "+". I guess I just consider that reference too. So then there is a difference you found...interesting.

There are plenty of "+" on reference PCB, just rebranded.

If you have any other 128SP/ 256-bit G92 cards, bench Vantage (of course at the same MHz.) You will see what I mean about the ref being inefficient. I've tried a load of ref BIOS, they're all the same. Think I even tried a non-ref BIOS on the ref card and performance was still in the toilet.
