Turning A FX5900 Into A FX5950 Ultra, Tool-Free

Posted by timothy on from the one-and-a-half-upmanship dept.

A reader writes "Some very interesting details coming from various tech sites such as ExplosiveLabs and 3DChips that shows it is possible to turn a GeForce FX5900 into a FX5950 Ultra (which is NVIDIA's top of the line video card chipset currently available) through simply using the FX5950 Ultra BIOS on the FX5900 video card."

    You are wrong.
    A friend of mine just upgraded from a Ti4200 when we noticed that in most new games nvidia cards were having pitiful performance--most notably in Call of duty, notably, in the now somewhat old Command and Conquer Generals, Geforce cards seemed to arbitrarily run pathetically slow--to the point that if any Geforce powered machine dropped out, lag was reduced for all players involved instantly
