Graphic Cards Found: Way to turn 9800GTX+ into GTS 250

[hatter]

When I first heard about this story a few weeks ago, I was very intrigued. Can this be true? Can you really just flash an old Geforce 9800GTX+ and turn it into a Geforce GTS 250? It just seems too good to be true. So I investigated. We foraged through our office for a Geforce 9800GTX+ ... and luckily, we found one from Palit. The next step is to flash the Geforce 9800GTX+ with a generic GTS 250 BIOS ... a task not for the faint-hearted.

Hey, One of my friends is presently in Canada. Where did your bro get the EVGA GTS250? I can ask my friend to get one for me too.

Thx.

just do it

risks are to be taken in life

 

[madnav]

only advantage im seeing so far is being able to run it in SLi wid other GTS250

 

[hellgate]

if theres no perf advantage then no use converting.though one can do it just for the kicks.

 

[Ov3rLoRd]

good find bro.
if it not going to give any performance boost then it not worth the risk.

 

[madmaniac]

Ya if no performance boost then no use.

just do it

Yes and when It goes wheee and smoke pours out I take it to service center and they say sorry this is gts 250 on your bill you have bought 9800gtx+ so no can do.
