2008 XS Cheapazchips 3D challenge

[dinos22]

You got wild vmods, we got SLI

PMs Gautam to keep an eye on G H Z's scores hahahah

Dunno, I did see this @ the egg

EVGA 256-P2-N733-LR

You got wild vmods, we got SLI

*german accent* Oh Snap!

Now that would be a great toy to bench with. Tri-SLI.. I can only dream of the blazing performance! 50k in 3D01 perhaps?

talking to youngpro, i think we're gonna see some crazy mods coming from Team.AU

[Achill3uS]

one of my first 03's here
stock card (Gigabyte) on air, cpu on water

talking to youngpro, i think we're gonna see some crazy mods coming from Team.AU

i'm curious to that mod's Tim, i think i've no fear to make a frankeinstein card from this, for better clocks

If I can get my choke question situated, I'm going to have a card that might rival yours in total modifications I don't know if they'll help though, wish I had a way to tell the load on the PWM.

[dinos22]

these cards WILL be killed
so we are going to push to absolute highest possible limits

[massman]

Then start rebuilding the PWM area as some Dutch folks have done (Rol-co for instance)

[T_M]

Got any good links massman?
"rebuilding" is on the schedule already, but any tips or experience will help.

[oohms]

Take off the mosfets and use an external linear PSU

Edit: i wouldn't bother with that for Vgpu, since these cards are memory limited anyway
:p

I can link you a few screenshots, but the guys at the dutch forums are not keen on sharing all info right away (which is quite understandible as it is a contest).

All credits go to Rol-Co

[massman]

I think they only benched 3D01 Nature. I'm sure Massman will be re-benching anyways.

I'll rebench the card for sure, but first I need to put up some good scores for the contest

Hi guys

Found some info on some of the 8400GS cards availible and what ram they use

Hehe, great site

[Johnny Bravo]

Looking forward t getting my hands on my card, this is what I did to my last cheap gfx card compo






This time round I'm thinking the Memory circuit needs reworked, perhaps the gpu circuit needs "reinforced" mostly depend on what I find once it's up and running

Saw this too, but be warned - unfortunately the manufacturer sometimes changes the memory and I've seen some cards listed there without the same memory

[T_M]

Thanks massman and johnny.
I found that forum with the volt mods thread a few minutes ago and was going to start prodding people about the boostermod (one of three words i could recognise in the whole 20 pages lol).
Looks to me like a feed direct into inductor leg right?

http://www.hardware.info/forum/showthread.php?t=138099

Johnny, in your mod is that a 3-phase booster?

[GOESA]

My god guys, feel like its not even my league damn,

Well if some one could help me with finding how to vmod the asus card once I get it, I could get a fellow I know to make the mod for me, but for that I need some info on where to solder, will take photos of the card when I get it monday or later.

na three separate linear amps, VDDR VREF(DDR) VGPU

If I were to do ti again I'd thicken the wires and place the feedback lines at the end of the wire rather than onboard - still did the job

You're not alone!

But I did find the ASUS card on stock and should have it by this weekend.

If you need anything to be translated, just ask

[zakelwe]

Yeah, my electrical limits are managing to solder a pot onto a leg without tripping the main fuse or stabbing myself in the eye with the iron.

Some great bits of ingenuity there !

Don't forget you have to submit to the ORB to have your score put up in the competition, approved drivers for 03 of course.

On a personal note, my old Leadtek 8400GS that would do 850/570 last month would not run 500/500 last night, so I hope it's not feeling the stress and is already one of the walking wounded

Don't say that Andy, I too have a Leadtek on order that should be with me soon (is this a British thing?!)

[SpikeP]

Sure hope it isn't Johnny!

In going for the uk as well, seeming i live here. May be grabbing the card today. I was thinking of doing this really seriously, but i think i shall just grab one from work and see what it does, and then what i can do to it. I already know this card has spaces for extra capacitors and a few other components. PWM area does look a little weak, but shall work on that.

some of these mods are looking amazing. maybe we should start a thread in the mods section and links to seperate areas?

Meet you uk guys in maplins, lol

I think it more due to owner mishandling than the card itself. I hope you are getting the right version of the Leadtek ?

Welcome aboard SpikeP! The UK has quite a nice little team now.

[Johnny Bravo]

I hope you are getting the right version of the Leadtek ?

Andy

SSSUUUUUUSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH

[dinos22]

my god Johhny what the heck is that EEK
i'm a total n00b at that kinda stuff....but it gives me a boner when i see it all like that hahahahah
