Re:GeForce 8800 GTS, changing device ID to GeForce 9800 GTX? - 2008/04/21 00:13
I have now tested this rebranding and it doesn't work. In the BIOS file, I changed device ID from 0600 to 0612 and also subsystem ID from 0502 to 2371. I left the subvendor ID, as is. If I change the board ID, the name and/or title becomes unreadable, so I don't dare to flash that modification. Oh yes, in case some of you wonder do not try to flash the GeForce 9800 GTX BIOS into the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB, I tried and it shows only artifacts. Anyhow, I reflashed back my custom tweaked GeForce 8800 GTS BIOS.
Anyhow, if someone finds out how we can change it to the GeForce 9800 GTX I'm very interested. Its not because its cool, but games feature the detect settings based on your hardware and they usually tell me medium or high, while I can in reality run very high. Also its cool for benchmarks. What would be even cooler, would be to reflash the G92 based GeForce 8800 GTS to a GeForce 2 MX and then edit the ".inf" file of thedrivers to install on that device ID and then run the 3DMark 06, lol... But I think I'll pass on that one. will be too much work each time drivers arrive.
