alright i would just like to update everyone on my continuing saga with this ati card. while i initially rushed it and thought it didnt work (using the driver mods on that ocfaq site), once i UNINSTALLED and then reinstalled the drivers using the riva tuner mod, i got it to work.
However, i get massive "checkerboard" problems with it, even tho i feel its just becoz it has the lower quality r9700 pro cooler on it.
i figure it must be becoz when the 4 extra pipelines get enabled (which they are now) the gpu does ALOT more work.
sadly, it says the memory is only 128 bit. i can live with that tho if i can just get this artifacting nonsense gone.
thnx dudes.
I would send it back. the results are looking pretty dismal at this point
why get a card if it is just gonna give you artifacting problems?
if u look further up, i didnt realize that the 9800se performs worse than a 9800np. Well, since rma sucks and I have had an inclination to get screwed over alot lately, i decided to keep it and try the soft-mod. Right now im thinking, better cooling, maybe a 9800 bios and i will get the trick done. who knows?
oh and btw, the memory is only infineon 3.3ns, so my memory ocs get screwed too.
oh well
