Omega drivers question
What is soft-mod? When it asks if i want to install normal, soft mod
9500(includes 9500-9700), or soft mod 9800, which would be best for me to use on a 9700 Pro, and why? I suppose i'll do the 'soft mod 9500' which looks like it includes 9700 pro right? |

there isn't a readme file Last I looked at the screen during install, it explained the 9700-9800 SoftMod wasn't any longer needed. As ATI is basicaly using the same code for both video cards in the newer Cat drivers. -- __________________________________________________ ____________________________________ There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press.

The SoftMod opened these up!. Was that a typo? The 9500np used the same chip and in early releases the same board as the 9_7_00, not the 9800. There's no "lite" version of the 9800 equivalent to the 9500np--the 9600 is in the equivalent marketing slot but they've closed the pipelines in the chip instead of on the board. It's possible to overclock a modded 9500np or 9700 to the same performance levels as a 9800 but contrary to popular belief that does not turn one of them into a 9800--for most purposes the performance should be pretty much the same but you don't get the new pixel shader and other enhancements, which may or may not be an issue in the future depending on what the game designers decide to do. If you have a 'red' board with 'L' shaped memory come back & ask a=20 question! =20 BoroLad --=20 --=20 --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
