Hi all,
I tried increasing the voltage to the core and mem on my BBAti 9600 Pro card. It was either my mediocre soldering skills, mediocre equiment, or mediocre calculations that fried the card. It worked for a while in 2D but running anything 3D including Ati tool causes severe display corruption.
So, I'm in the market for a new card. I'm looking at these:
Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB - $150
Radeon 9700 Pro 128 MB - $185
Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB - $210
I'm not sure if the 9600 XT is going to be powerful enough for me. I had my 9600 Pro near XT speeds and it wasn't fast enough in Dx9 titles (FarCry).
From some of the reviews I have read the 9800 Pro is just a higher clocked 9700 Pro. If so, that's what I want to get.
Any advice?
