I downloaded the bios with the voltage and core mod. am running 400mhz core now. Temp has gone upt o 65 max so far.

Thanks. I used the 1.4 volt version with the stock BFG bios. Mine went to 418/ 1.07 optimal testing in coolbits. That is a nice improvement. I will try the 1.5 version after I see what the 1.4 can do.

Edit:
I think my memory is limiting me. I ran 420 and 1.1 and got artifacts in Farcry. I bumped the memory down to 1.0 and left the core at 420 and it ran great. Any way to volt mod the memory?

Don't mean to be rude but I couldn't stand you calling it a GF4 Ti9600 any longer....it's a 4200.

You're right although it's not running like a 4200 (much closer to 4600 speed) so to offer a good reference point I just called it a 4600. Sorry to be confusing. I guess I just like to think of it with optimism as a 4600.

I called outpost about availability, they said they are no longer going to receive shipments of this BFG card...

well unless you have the 1.6ns ram (only gainward GS have them for sure other cards its come and go) thats about the limit of the ram, i dont know if overvolting the memory will help anything other than making the chips more unstable or hotter, probably both.

I got on a deal a few days ago and got a Gainward 6800GT GS for $429 shipped (2day) from monarch. I would check them periodically as they have some random sales that really come out of nowhere.

I have an extra one if anyone wants. Current eGay price is ~400 so $385+sh would do it.
