organ_shifter Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 Try this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102002 That's 12 PixelPipelines. Perfect for today's games/apps, and supports current technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemidget Posted January 11, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 Would that be worth it on an agp 4x board? I'll probably build a new pc in the next year and was leaning toward a cheaper card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 The models are different.. Pro vs XT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 but when you compare the 2 in compare on the site there really is no difference so why the big price jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 From the ATI website it look like the XT has more pixel pipelines, 40mhz more memory speed, 20mhz more engine speed.. Other than that.. that is all that I see.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomsday Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 in this latest sunday paper i got,best buy had the Radeon AGP or PCI version of the card for $130 bucks. i was thinking of getting it,but i think i'll stick with my 9500 Pro{and no,it can't be modded into a 9700 sadly} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 {and no,it can't be modded into a 9700 sadly} Why not? Has there been a hardware/bios change or something? I flashed the bios on mine shortly after they first came out and it worked great. The original flash with Kip Hardina's (Warp11) modified bios (9500WARP.Bin) worked, but his discovery of the hexadecimal was still new, and my memory wasn't exactly compatible. Artifacts were slightly noticeable in apps/games. I then acquired a more seasoned, modified bios (9500_33.Bin) that was specifically from a board with my exact same memory (the Infineon 3.3ns version), and the rest is history. Mabey you can unlock yours as well. See the links below. I fixed the 9500Pro BIOS. It's now overclockable! 9500 Pro users, what type of memory do you have?

Doomsday Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 actually,i just tried to use Omega's Radeon Drivers set.there was an option for a softmod,so i tried it and got arifacts in games and lockups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yeah, the softmod is only for users with the modified bios applied already. Whenever I use the Omega drivers, I always select the softmod option and it works great. Give those links a try. Just make sure that you observe the memory on your card so that you'll know what memory you have. The ranges started at Infineon 3.6ns memory, but got as fast as 3.0ns.
