Talking 9800gtx+ -> gts250

Turn your 9800GTX+ into a GTS250 compliments of CPU3D. http://www.cpu3d.com/article/7481-1/...roduction.html

Dunno if there is a peformance increase/decrease. Reading the article they only speak to the ability to SLI the system. I'm sure if you e-mailed them, they'd give you the inside scoop on performance.

But I'm pretty certain that if you were a boint whore, you'd get away with flashing the bios to gts250.

Not that I'm condoning it but its definitely a flaw in the system due to Nvidia rebranding.

There is no performance difference. Everyone tried it early and was disappointed.

BTW, HWBOT has said no flashing and submitting as another card. That doesn't stop dishonest people though
