hey guys,

I in need of a graphics card upgrade badly. I want to stick with ATI. Heres my current system specs, please give me some advice.

ic7-max 3, 2.6c p4.
2 x 256mb pc3200 corsair xms
2 36.7gb wd raptors in raid 0
radeon 9500 non pro :( = bought it a year ago or so..

my current 3dmark01 is 12733

I read some where about soft modding a powercolor radeon 9800 se then doing a vmod to it to act as a 9600 xt.

Any sugestions are greatly apreciated. I think that my current graphcis card is the bottle neck of my system.

thanks

why you want to take a risk with 9800se?

buy 9800pro its not to expensive now :)
 
9800 Pro for $210 is the BEST deal you're gonna find on the net.

Huge upgrade over your current vid card.
 
Sweet, orderd mine today with standard shipping. Cant wait to use it. Been playing BFV and notice my graphics card is up to par anymore.
 
I did some tweaking in the bios....

and was able to improve my 3dmark01 by 1000 points.

13356 with a radeon 9500 (non-pro)

my fsb is factory default.

im using corsair 3200 xms 2 - 3 - 2 -6 @ 2.6 v what should i crank the fsb up to that would be safe to run?

thanks
