my new card. Anonymous
i recently purchased an ATI 100-435712 Radeon X850PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 video card to upgrade from my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, and upon receiving it in the mail earlier today, I attached a ZALMAN VF700-CU heatsink and fan, replacing the stock.

pictured is the card, with both new heatsink and old, and a quarter for size reference. note the rad blue RAM sinks. they're like lil urchins.

this card, and this post have nothing to do with my ego. i enjoy playing videogames, so i upgraded my videocard and spent a small amount of effort improving it before installation. i enjoy /hr/, and so i thought i would share.

i'm not gloating. please, point out the part where i made you feel as if i was gloating. soon, we'll come to the source of your psychological shortcoming, and then we can begin the healing process.

>>80660
it's not a bottleneck, you fucking retard. it's a different port. not all of us have our rich parents to buy us a new system every time a new gaming port is released.

WOW, i wanna know how to attach that cool-looking Zal-whatever fan & heatsink jazz to my graphics card.

i think i have an ATI x800 XT (i THINK...?). oh well, doesn't matter i guess since nobody probably wants to give tips anyway. Those additions you made look cool though

it was actually relatively simple, though delicate.

on my model (and i assume most new cards), you have only to unscrew a support bar on the bottom and remove the original heatsink and fan in one piece. the installation of the replacement is as simple as cleaning the chip, coating it with thermal grease or liquid silver, slapping the new heatsink on top of it and screwing it in.

there's also an instruction manual packaged with zalman products.

150 for the card, 30 for the new heatsink/fan.

I got mad for buying a x850XT when they first made the price cuts... 2months before the 1x00 series came out. I'm still kicking myself to this day for lack of 4096x4096 textures and Shader 3.0...... Kick, kick....

Even though it runs every game fine, now that I have a 1920x1200 monitor it would of been nice to wait for the 1900XT or even jump ship to Nvidia, although the $$$ does talk

For the price and all you'll get your money's worth for power, but man, if I were you I would of pony'd up for something this-generation... At least support the new stuff games have. Welcome to my joys of high-res fast FPS with no 3.0 HDR or 4096x4096 textures :(

No matter what video card you have, it all comes down to the display.

I've been trying to find a good 16:9 front projection monitor / HD television with DVI input.

And I can't fucking find one. They're all either way too low res, or too slow, or too dark, or are analog input only.

Anyone know of a decent brand / model?

>>80751
thing is, my system's about two years old now and i don't have a pci-express, so this card is a layover until i build a new box altogether. i see your point, though.

COMPLAIN SOME FUCKING MORE.
did you notice that plenty of people are responding to this post with THEIR OWN CARDS? i believe, in fact, that this has been one of the more homogenous HR posts in a while.

i am not BLOGGING. i captioned the HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOGRAPHS that i posted to give them a CONTEXT.
i wish to GOD that you morons would MELT like the NAZIS at the end of RAIDERS of the LOST ARK, your BLATANT PESSIMISM frustrates me so much.

That is hu-fucking-mongous heatsink/fan you have on that thing.

I have a Radeon 9800SE I recently bought from a friend for 40$, I remember back when the card first came out that one could solder something on a 9800 series card to make it into a 9800 XT or something like that.
Anybody here remember that, or have directions to it?

Fails for fucking retardedness.

Do a benchmark for AGP 4x vs 8x cards.

Little to no fucking difference. So why have 16x PCI-E?

I did a softmod to my card, it was a HIS 9800 Pro IceQ that was flashed with an XT's BIOS... just search around the guru3d forums.

EXIF data says Canon EOS 350D with EF 50mm f/1.4 lens. It's a shitty photo. The aperture size should have been set to something like f/11 to get the entire mobo in focus (and the camera would need to be on a tripod due to the resulting shutter speed of 2-4 seconds).
