Umm all I can say is that I went from 10,080 on 3dmark, to 14,545. no artifacts no checkard boxes, just pure speed and power, this mod is great. I had a 9500 Pro, I returned that back to new egg, and I got the saphire oem 9500 for 160. Best buy I have ever had. 300 dollar card for 160, who says you cant get something for nothing.
