Yo. I juts bought a MSI 7900GTO, they say in a review it can easily modded flash to 7900GTX with 15% increase in performance. If anybody done this, please give me some tips and know how. A bit afraid it will ruin my lovely new card.

Its not worth it. You can simply overclock your card to GTX speeds (depends on card). That card was fast enough, with full pipeline and same memory as the GTX (but with tighter timings), pretty much the same like Maserati MC12 and Ferrari Enzo

Flashing a graphics card is easier if something goes wrong, you still can recover it by using a PCI gfx card and flash to original BIOS (I've tried it). Do it on your risk though

I already increase the RAM to 1750mhz and the clock to 700mhz. Mainly I play strategy gaming and will try NFS Carbon later. wink.gif

I will try and see. well 15% of increase in performance is rather tempting, what the different of the OC GTO and the normal GTX? sweat.gif

The guys are mostly right about flashing the GTO to GTX bios, the memory timings are tighter for the GTO bios compared to GTX bios. However there are other kinds of modded bioses out there that will enable GTO's to be clocked slightly higher, refering to the GPU clocks.

But since your getting such good GPU and mem clock speeds, I dont recommend you mess around with something good.

I'm only able to hit GPU of 720Mhz and Mem of 1650, of course with no volt mod performed. smile.gif

Your mem clocks rocks thumbup.gif

easy
first ure cpu bound, bottleneck
hey even at 5200 x2 3000ghz also bottleneck
later end of month when i get my mobo.. will post sli score and single card score on core 2 duo e6600

second ure ram timings do differ because of amd mem controller... so better timing, better speed do differ in fps therefore ure gfx score higher ..

good card but ure ram and cpu not enough.
advice go for x2 4200 or 5200 since now price dropping. both also u have to oc
*
just bought my pc. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif
will buy psu 650w coolermaster.
then ddr800 x2 1gb.
haih.
after that only cpu, sli mobo and cpu.
a lott athings have to upgrade again. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

ver little diff friend. GTx and ure gto a lot of difference but dont expect much from a gts like big difference like the gtx. actually ure just cpu bound solve that and u can already be hitting shattering scores.

so do i need to OC?

QUOTE(cstkl1 @ Jan 14 2007, 12:47 AM)
currently i am offering a top up for my sli 7900gto for any 8800gtx sli anybrand.

well i also would prefer a single dx10 8800gtx. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

yup. u hardly even using the full strength of ure card.
find some friend who has a c2d.
ask him can do test with ure card.
also a lot of ppl here are buying a 8800gtx and gamin at 1280x1024??

sishhh waste....

go get a 24 inch  and game at 1900x1200... then its worth it. remember at low resolution or mid dont expect a lot of difference .... but higher resolution difference becomes apparent. example go check ianho selling his 20inch monitor.. i can understand y since he bought a 8800gtx well its worth it at his new 30inch monitor.

my reso is 1440 now. i play strategy games and lags when a lot of troops.

hmm cpu bound. are u referring to company of heroes btw

my sli setup with the amd x2 5200 was playing with everything max average fps at 83fps.
thats with the latest patch
weirdly with single card it is at 68fps average.
so u see first the game hasnt been optimized for sli for example like fear
second cpu bound cause my friend with e6600 7900gt 512mb can already get 80 fps average with everything high at his oc of 3.2ghz..

cd2 is better??? unsure.gif unsure.gif unsure.gif

I need help, I wanna upgrade end of this month.
What should I upgrade? Should i ditch the AMD and mobo and buy a E6600?
Or should I get more ram total 2GB and maybe DDR800? Or get X2 5200+?
