Default Need Advice: ATI 9800Pro vMod

I need the help of the great Pimps in this forum to guide me in the right direction

I know that when you vMod the video card (GPU or Mem), there is a performance gain.

I wanted to know how big a gain is there? Is it worth the risk? Will Pencil vs Resistor give the same results?

For those that have vMod'ed successfully, what type of improvements did you get over previous max OC and how much did you increase voltage over stock?

Any insight would greatly be appreciated.

Hey Kennzzo,

Ok, those are great quesitons. Let me answer you:

What type of cooling are you using - WaterCooled GPU (innovatek), HeatSinks on RAM (passive at this point)
What are you OC'd to now - GPU about 438Mhz, Mem 363 MHz, anything faster gives bad artifacts when benching
What are your current benchmarks like? About 7000'ish in 3dMark2k3 and 21k in 3dMark2k1

9800Pro 128MB flashed to XT.

Let me know if there is anything else you need to know.

How did you vmod your card? Pencil or Not?
SAD

EDIT:

One side note. I'm running the r360 on my 9800pro and not the r350. From what I understand teh r360 is the XT GPU. So the vMod fothe 9800pro v350 is not the same for the r360. Is this correct?
