Re: DDR3 Ram Question

Posted on 2023-04-20, 10:15

Elpida hypers aren't really worth it for regular use. Best for benchmarking records. Chips die at random and require more voltage than 1155 is specified to use (1.65). Elpida BBSE and Powerchip 2GB modules are ok option for cheaper price but timings / performance in synthetic benchmarks is almost …

Re: Radeon 9700 Pro on the way out?

That type of fix really only buys you a bit of extra time, eventually the solder will crack again. Its pretty much the same principal as people baking their 8800GT cards ..it buys you enough time to replace the card but it will eventually die again and normally far quicker than you expect. I agree. …

My experience is similar to TrashPanda. All early BGA vram cards are prone to fail for solder connection / thermal expansion. Reseating or replacing memory chips fixes this (temporarily) I have repaired FX 5900U and couple ATI 9600pro cards which were confirmed working by reliable seller. Sending …

A fast C2D for Crysis should be perfectly fine. As far as I'm aware, the game don't scale well above 2 cores and the bottleneck with that game was always the GPU. No single GPU could run that game maxed out at 1080p@30 until the HD5800 and GTX480/70 series released. GTX 480 is good pairing for fast …

Re: Video games are too heavily monetized these days

Every single time I see ingame monetization with buyable ingame currencies it just takes you out of the experience of the game. It's not about having fun but considering "how much I'm going to spend on this" or "I am not going to spend on this but others will gain an advantage". Maybe I'm in the …

For 10$ it's a good upgrade. All nvidia cards that are comparable a lot cost more and have noisy active cooling. 9600 is ~20% below ti 4200 in DX8 titles but on par or better in DX9 titles. You can try to overclock core from ~320mhz to 400mhz with a fan directed at the card. Memory speeds are …
