airman Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 ok...i just got one. it would have been my choice to get a 128meg, but i had a choice between a 2.8c and a 9800pro 256meg. since i already had a 2.4c...i chose the video card. my question is this: my clocks are 380/760. (i know...it's got stock cooling) and i benched, and got 6.1k in 3dmark03, but i think i've seen these things up to like 7k? is that true? my specs are in sig, except for the video card and i've got 512meg of OCZ pc4000 dual channel. *edit* wow just looked on the ORB and the first 256meg card's score was 7500k...and then the next one down is 7100k. but those things have like major overclocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfactor Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 flash it to a 9800 xt and you should gain like @least 600 points in 3dmark03. if the chips are labled samsung Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 Make sure it has an R360 core before you flash to XT. Otherwise you could really do some damage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 yeah i've never seen a 256meg card the r360 anyways...it's the r350 - says atitool. but is that about right though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 It might be, but the only way to know for sure is to take off the hs and read it. Only problem, the pins that hold the hs on are usually one time use, and you need special ones for some cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 gaaahh that's not what i'm asking! i'm asking if my score is about right? and i know for sure that it is the r350. ati never made the 256meg version with an r360. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine old card a 9800pro Aiw Scored 5.5 k stock well mine is pretty much stock...i can hardly overclock it on stock cooling. until i can get better cooling, i'm fine with 6.1k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
