VictorWang has been playing around with his latest toys and given us a lot of information on the upcoming GeForce 9800GTX and 9800GTS. While we’re certain that the cards will be fast, they won’t be the revolution people usually expect from a new generation. Last we reported, he was disappointed with the state of the drivers, but instead he was trying to find stable overclocks. When he found the most stable stock overclocks, he decided to voltmod the card to get some more juice for the GPU.
With a 500ohm resistor soldered to the board, the VGPU jumped from 1.21V at idle and 1.28V at load to 1.375V and 1.415V, respectively. This made it possible to push the GPU frequency up to 900MHz with a Thermalright HR-03GT with a Delta 9038 fan strapped to it. That’s 225MHz above the stock frequency of 675MHz.
Over at UniHardware he’s also posted a number of single card benchmarks with his voltmodded card.
