Bios flash 9800 Pro to 9800 XT

Slider · 05-May-04, 10:22 AM

Has anyone flashed the BIOS on their 9800 Pro to a 9800 XT? I have the files, but don't know if it works or is even worth the effort. I can't afford to buy a new card, so an iffy bios flash isn't something I want to do.

if something goes wrong with the bios you could always reflash the bios back to the original one

It'll only fly if it's a 256 meg 9800 pro...

It has to do with memory addressing.

they do make a hacked XT BIOS for this purpose. I'll do some digging for this, as i have seen it somewhere.....

EDIT: HERE is a place that may help, If you have anymore questions i would be more than willing to help.

Slider,
I'd just load the latest and greatest Omega drivers and use the radlinker OC tool.

You'll need better cooling though...

Better cooling than a Maze4 GPU cooler? Damn Zen, I can only get the mem up to 405 and the core to about 440 or 450.

Edit: I've also maxed the AGP voltage for my mobo. It's no the best for voltage adjustments. For agp you can add .10 , .20 , or .30. Not much.
