Default can i V-mod a MSI 8600GT OC?? -- i know you can a GTS:(

or is the GTS mod only for GTS's?

i got this card............. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127286



i managed to OC'd via air to this (ati tool 2.7b)



so i went from 5590 - 5820 with stock setup....... 3dmark 06 benches

----------------------------------------------------

i really want a 8800 , but cant afford the sli

and i know this card even in sli wont compete with a single 8800

........... i just wondering if i can find pictures for vmod with this 8600GT card i got from MSI ... if i can get into the 7500+ 3dmark06 marks.... i might SLI them

thanks for help ..... and suggestions

--------------------------------------------------------------------
TO SUM THIS UP....... i am not a rich man!!!
i had about $100 to spend on vid card, and i went over a tad, now i am curious if i buy another and OC / and be able to VMOD them both ....... SLI them together

question is this....... how much does SLI mode raise your benchmarks??

or am i wasting my time with this card??, Prolly -- but i cant afford two 8800's

----- NOTE -- SLI mode on my MB will drop both cards to 8x pcie 570 chipset

---- thanks for help and suggestions

i can still return this card if need be

I know its not what you asked but I agree with The Pook. The 3850 will be cheaper than the 8600gt 's in SLI and perform far better ( from what I have seen) thus you wont have to worry about SLI or Crossfire.

I think a card that is PCI-E 2.0 is backwards compatible with PCI-E 1.0.

Yeah u are right. PCI-e 2.0 is compatible with PCI-e 1.0. Maybe a BIOS update needed.
