Yeah man, your suspicions are right. It most likely is the graphics card. Sorry to hear that, the 7800 GTX's are just so expensive these days.

I would like to add a successful pinmod on a 735 1.7GHz to 2.26GHz. The chip was excellent quality (I guess by pure chance) and it required no extra voltage. Actually, it even undervolted to 1.260 and I'm very happy

This is gonna sound ghetto but... I use an empty binder. It's cheap, comfy, and it works, the laptop doesn't cook my organs.

First of all... did you back up your original bios before flashing? Second. Read the blind flashing guide. No the computer is not bricked. From personal experience, since you flashed an invalid bios most likely, you could have to...

The dye shrink hasn't happened yet, because there's no need for it. Nvidia's smart... they're not making vid cards to top themselves off. The 8800 gtx/ultra is king of all, uncontested. Why would they make a die shrinked 8900? ...

555 on the core? Of a 6800 ultra... wow. I don't mean to doubt, but as a fellow ultra owner I gotta see a 3dmark score on that one! Edit: Well just saw some sick clocks on the 3Dmark page... I wonder if they ran their tests in a...

A 3DMark score, while nice, doesn't always translate into real life performance. The 2500, although scoring lower, has 4 more pixel pipelines and 1 more vertex shader, plus the extra 256 MB of VRAM. That translates into extra real life...

Try using driver cleaner when you uninstall the ATI software. There is a guide in one of the sticky threads about how to use driver cleaner. I think you don't get complete uninstall of the driver and that may be why it keeps being...

If the 8700 really is what is listed in those numbers, the answer is no, it will not outperform 7950 gtx. In fact, it will struggle to keep up with the 7900. 3Dmark scores mean nothing, unless you enjoy looping the demo over and over. ...

I see what you're saying, but I'm not so sure people would be that lenient. If it is obvious that the card was replaced or that the laptop was tampered with, then that's pretty fair grounds to deny warranty.
