Re: Can you think of a more powerful single slot XP card

The 745 would be a little faster and would have a better power rating and better power saving because it's Maxwell as opposed to Kepler.
Re: Turn on AT PSU without Motherboard
Posted on 2020-08-25, 14:23
There do exist AT PSUs with a power switch on the back instead of cords that carry to the front. Why this is, I don't know. But I have one and use it myself to test motherboards with AT power connectors.

In the following days I intend to ground the VID4 pin (not accesible through the jumpers) to access the 1.3-2.05V range and of course to implement the resistor mod for using the board with a 400ATZ (@500, don't need it higher). I'll update here when job done. Did you ever get around to doing any of …

Most of them perhaps, but not all. :-) There is at least one NV41 based - http://hw-museum.cz/vga/311/gainward-geforce-6800-gs-agp--nv41- Wikipedia's labelling is a bit confusing, but it could be extrapolated that all PCIe chips (which includes cards that use a bridge chip) are on TSMC 110nm, while …

Hi! Glad to see more people playing with Quadros 1) If you followed the steps of the TLDR, then you just changed the card's identity. You still need to mod the bios with new frequencies, 2) 500/1000 are 5800u frequencies—is your card properly cooled? With my Quadro FX 1000 I actually did a small …

The review I saw had a 5800U running over AGP 8x. Is it your motherboard or the 1000 that wants to run at 4x? Hi, thanks. I have it running at AGP 8x and SBA is enabled. I must stress that I'm trying to mod this into a 5800, non -ultra. According to an old online article, K4N26323AE-GC1K is 1100MHz …

BF1942 compatibility with newer operating systems is well-established and there is (or was, until recently) an active online multiplayer base for its Desert Combat expansions. You should be able to find the info and downloads you need.
