    9700np to 9800? is this possible?

    i bought a grandmars 9700 np 300/300 gaurenteed with ramsinks etc (ive got it up to 328/321 so far so good)
    i put the hacks in from this website
    http://sunrise.stolemy.tv/
    now it comes up as a radeon 9700 pro in everything but
    in properties on adapter it says
    chip type radeon 9800 agp {0x4E44}
    dac type internal dac (400mhz)
    mem size 128mb
    adapter string 9700 pro
    bios 113-94206-102
    so is this just a piece of fancy writing to make us feel good or
    has it really been modded to a 9800 anyway im very happy with the card as it is forĀ£162 as well cant be bad

    no it will work like a 9700pro

    the 9800 uses a different core so it is fundamentally different.

    the 9800 has a different core so a 9700 will nevr b a 9800 but the 9800 drivers has special optimisations which ati wernt going to put in the 9700 ones? so others done it for them

    it was just the chip type thing that got me thinking
    chip type radeon 9800 agp it says in adapter properties lol
    oh and there is a bit of an increas as well lol
    its gone from 14,270 up to 15,700 in 3d 2001 and from 4400 to 5200 in 3d mark 03
    i must admit this card p*sses all over the fx5600 ive been using
    in every department im well impressed with it for the price as well
    the bloke has just took delivery of cards with the red samsung 3.1 ns memory boards as well !!!
