Actually is is known that ATI is in the progress of redoing the Opengl Dirvers. Betatesters have said this and also people on the Catalyst team. So what are you saying, Doom3 etc. is about to suddenly run great on ATI hardware? So the benchmarks run by ID software mean nothing?? LOL! If ATI knew how to fix the problem, they would have done so long ago. To think otherwise is to set yourself up for a big dissappointment. Jeff B |

But have 4 pipes disabled in the BIOS, flashing it is supposed to make it perform like an XT. Going from the posts I have seen most have been 100% successful, but did spot one where a guy had trouble raising his GPU speed. Was going to go with one of those VIVO cards or a nVidia GT :| Tax return time, so deciding in the next few weeks! & the GT is ahead so far in my choice :| Minotaur *8) |

uh, no, you have proff that you couldn't do it, either because of an unlucky
card or alack of knowledge. Mike "JB" wrote in message news:920Mc.7939$eM2.5675@attbi_s51... Yes the x800 pro can be hacked and then have its bios flashed to be a x800xt, but it wont work on every card. Believe what you want, I have proof that the hack doesn't work. Jeff B |

I have hands-on experience, you have nothing. Therefore, by definition, I'm right and you're wrong. Jeff B |

As long as you keep commenting from a position of "I have no experience in this matter" and have absolutely NO knowledge, and can only parrot what others have said, I will continue to correct you. So stop falsely accusing me of being a screwup, or don't and this thread will last forever. Jeff B |

VIVO Video In Video Out The Pro's don't have the Video In So, since the pro's don't have the video in, and the mod works only on cards with video in, the mod doesn't work on pro's which is exactly what I proved with my experiment. Thanks for clearing that up. Jeff B |

The V5's FSAA methods were employed in the GF3 and higher cards. GF3's 2x
FSAA uses rotated-grid multi-sampling just like the V5, while 4x FSAA uses ordered-grid. Do you have an AthlonXP/64 or Pentium4? Did the P4's vastly superior Quake III engine scores play a part in your decision? -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." "Andrew MacPherson" wrote in message ddress_disguised... If I wasn't already on board the ATI bus I might well have been swayed by the Nvidia benchmarks, but I also haven't forgiven them for buying 3dfx and not using their vastly superior FSAA methods (slow or not). The V5 still has a soft spot in my heart... just next to the empty place in my wallet ;-) Andrew McP |
