In the meantime I made a step forward with the card, I found an Asus bios which is a plain 6800 with 256mb gddr3, with this card I got artifact free memory even at 900 (gt bios maxed out at 550), but the gpu doesn't go over 300, so the card would probably be good if the original bios could be found, …

Is this card really a white crow? In the meantime, I've come to the conclusion that almost certainly the GT bios memory timings don't match this card, ui. if I reset the memory clock from 1000 to 550, the artifacting disappears (even unlocked to 12/5). It was a similar situation back in the days of …

Hello!

I've tried it with multiple psus (from 250w to 560w and different vendors like FSP, Seasonic, Chieftec, and some noname (Deer, Codegen)), but it didn't matter at all, not all mobos seem to be stable with this mod, you have to try it like core unlock with cpus or pipe unlock with vgas.

I have found the same issue with the cpu voltage at 2.0v the voltage regulator hasn't signal (0 v) but with 2.1v the system does boot up.

Gods and Kings Bounty can use 64 color palette, and Gods looks much more better in 64 color palette mode, but your monitor also has to a 64 color support, usually a switchable button between 16/64 color mode.
