Help, I think I broke my GF2 Ultra

[jimmygates]

My friend just got an VisionTek GF3 and gave me his VisionTek GF2 Ultra. When I got the board, I went to the geocities site and performed only half of the RFI Circuitry modification (I don't really feel comfortable shorting inductors yet.) So I use a flat head and pry off the 9 resistors. I pop the card into my machine and the system keeps detecting the card as a Geforce 2 GTS/PRO? Could removing the resistors caused my system to think the card is a Geforce 2 GTS/PRO? Someone help me out here!

I'm not sure that it matters. If it works otherwise, and you're running at 250/460, should be ok.

Got a link to some instructions for that? It doesn't sound to smart popping off resistors with a flat head screwdriver? What does the rest of the mod consist of? What is it supposed to improve?

Take a picture the board and show it to us.

tates is right. if it runs at the Ultra speeds..who cares.

Is there a program where I can see how fast the core/memory my Geforce 2 Ultra is running at? I ran 3DMark2001 with the card it posted a score of 3178 which is much lower compared to other GF2 Ultra scores but around par for Geforce 2 Pro 64mb?

just enable coolbits in your drivers and then check out the hardware settings under your Geforce display properties tab, itll show you what your default clocks are set at.

if the card was working fine?? can i ask why you would try and mod it, other than overclocking???

He modded it with the hope of improving 2D quality as shown right here.
