Bought 9500 Pro from NewEgg! Will I be happy??

Depends on your config and how much patience you have trying to find a fix if it does not work right

 

[Tnvolsfan]

XP2000 (no O/C yet)
NFS-7
512MB Crucial
ATA133 120 GB Maxtor 8MB Cache

Why would ATI be such a problem? Not having any with a 8500DV.

 

[grabadude]

NFS-7

Is that a Nforce 2 based Mobo?

 

[Orbius]

The 9500pro is quite a bit faster than the 8500dv.

 

[MrPabulum]

I'm sure your 9500 experience will be quite good. Don't forget to turn the 16XAF and 2X AA. :beer:

 

[Rogozhin]

what drivers do you plan on using?

rogo

 

[nRollo]

No, there can be no happiness with a 9500 Pro.













JK, I'd guess you will be.

 

[lianliperson]

to say the least...yes

 

[Tnvolsfan]

That is an Nforce Mobo NF7-S

For now it is in my Compaq P4 2.2
512 Crucial

3D2001 are only at 10089.

I am kind of disappointed.

What tuner should I get to tweak it with?

 

[Tnvolsfan]

Don't forget to turn the 16XAF and 2X AA.

What does that do for me?

 

[JBT]

2x AA takes out jaggies a bit and 16 AF will clear up textures in the distance and such pretty much make things look beautiful

 

[FluxCap]

Overclock it !!

 

[Keysplayr]

Do you think you will be sad?

 

[Tnvolsfan]

I guess I should have said, will it satisfy me and so far it hasn't. Will try the mod tonight.

 

[Tnvolsfan]

Not Happy!! Did the BIOS thing and now my card is dead!!

Will be attemoting to restore to old BIOS tonight after installing PCI vid card so I can see and so my PC will boot again!!
