if it can run ALL tests in aquamark flawless (you'll need a pro licence) you're good.

It does take about 5 days to do it, and the logfiles equal about 1.2 GB of HD space. (300MB rarred, if anyone is interested)

it's because you have an r350 chip and flash to xt
thats why you see the checkers
game test 2 and 3 are shader intensive
and xt has optimized shaders that's why u score higher
however some cards (especially sapphire) have been using the r360 cores on 9800 pro pcb's and this will make the flash work
but without any extra features
for myself just bought a sapphire 9800 pro 128

and i found that it has a r360 core+ 9800xt pcb :o

also the stock cooler on it was the same as the 256mb version of the 9800 pro

and uses hynix 2.5ns memory

non-flashed i was able to overclock to 445/385 mhz WHITOUT ANY MODS OR ARTIFACTS :king:

i'm going to flash next week because i'm short off time right now :)

i'll let u guys know something ;)

because the same pcb and r360 chip i should get overdrive enabled :) don't u think?

That card is a bomb! :o
