ASRock 939Dual not like a modded 6800NU?

[Vallybally]

From another thead Lord Banshee was having some unexpected and low performance results. It seems he finally narrowed it down to his modded 6800NU. I was wondering if anyone else has some light to shed on this issue, because I'm in the same boat, I have a modded eVGA 6800NU with 16 pipes unlocked. In fact it has a GT BIOS on it or something (there was a long and popular thread on AT on this last year).

Basically, how and why would a modified video card have unexpected or poorer results on a new mobo/cpu than if it were running stock settings? Does anyone know the best way I could revert to the stock BIOS if I had to?


"Well guys i FIXED!! my problem

It was casue by me.. The problem was, this motherboard did not like my modded 6800NU bios, werid, i forgot all about it. So i put the stock on back on and it worked lol.. "

I have a PNY 6800NU RivaTuner modded to 16x/6x on the pipes. I have no problems to speak of.

Well a thread I read said a guy had subpar 3dmarks with the modded video card, then when he reverted back to default it got better... (on the ASRock)

this is a good thread, I have the exact same question

Well my 6800NU did not boot into windows with AGP drivers and Nvidia Drivers with modded bios (QuadroFX modded)

But with correct bios i got werid results with the board in certain benchmark programs (SpecView8 and 3dMark05). I never experienced real world problems with the card and mobo with the correct bios. Also my card was more overclockable with the Asrock than nf3.

My sister is now the owner of this mobo and an AGP Radeon 9800Pro... It played AOE3 1024x768 all setting highest except for AA and AF. No problems, i was impressed lol.

EVGA 6800 NU running 16/6 here on the Asrock (as of yesterday) and no problems so far, altho my testing hasn't even truly begun, other than a few bench runs. The order in which the drivers are loaded is very important on the board.
