9800m gs to gts worth it? are my scores in warhead normal?

was it worth flashing my 9800m gs to gts? How much damage could this cause later on if any? On crysis warhead i get 20-22 fps on natice reso an everything on gamer. But in a heated battle i get around 14-19 Anyone try this game yet on an x5??

 

hi im also very interested in this topic.

 

Not every GS can handle GTS clocks with full stability, but most can.

Be careful playing in a hot room though, as that can push gaming temps just enough that it starts glitching.

 

Well, I am not sure how much damage it could incur, as the card was manufactured, in the very beginning, to handle such voltage and all, but the heat might get to it if it is too much.


I have been using the flashed to GTS for a long while now and I haven't experienced anything bad at all. I was glitching in crysis at first, but that was driver-related and got fixed with a driver update.

You can try it if you want, or just accept your performance level and be happy with it I don't game much lately due to work and college, but when I do I enjoy the extra boost in performance, and I sure as hell don't have plans for further overclock. I personally think the GT-> GTS is not much of an overclock since it is like 10% O/C barely, and there are people that push it MUCH higher, like 950mhz memory etc.

 

Your warheadxscores are normal. When i had the bestbuy g50vt-x5, i played crysis on 1680x1050 native res. It just doesnt workout. It was unplayable. What i did was, turn down res to 1440x900. Mainstream post processing. Shadows, and water particlea and motion blur. That gave me more boost on fps and performance. And it was really playBle

 

How does the HD 4850 in your MSI GT725 handle the game?

 

Just like other 725 owners handles it flawlessly all on high settings and all gamer on war head 1680x1050 native res dx10 about 25-32 fps. Really smooth.

 

Its without the overclock yet. There is a guy that almost broke 13k on 3dmark06 with hd4850 single card. Hia name is tester.

 

The X5 has a 1366x768 res. The X6 which is not availiable at best buy has a 1680x1050 screen though. My 22 inch samsung is 1680x1050 but have not tried running a game that high of a res. If Doom 3 supported widescreen it would work very well, fear maybe on high instead of max. Ive run into some parts of fear where it gets 60-90 fps in max @ 1366x768 and then ill hit an outdoor spot and get 6 fps.

 

yea i was just going to say that too about the reso...and i switched my drivers and now get an avg 27.8 on all gamer and native reso in warhead
