HI,
I have a QS 733MHz (psu dead, a project), a MDD FW800 1.25GHz DP and a MDD 2003 1.25GHz.
The MDD FW800 currently has the Radeon 9600 Pro (G5 model) in it, the MDD 2003 has a 9000 Pro and the QS has something, I even don't remember what. I plan to flash and install a FireGL X3 to the FW800, transfer the 9600 Pro to the 2003 and then I will have to choose the best OS9 compatible option for the QS.
Option 1: transfer the 9000 Pro from the MDD 2003 into it or
Option 2: recap and flash a Gainward Geforce4 4200Ti which I found from my PC parts boxes last week. The GF has several bulged caps from 20+ years of no use so I need to address that.
I was wondering that which one is the better card? Googling performance figures seems to indicate that the GF is a bit faster in almost anything - but how do they compare IRL when installed to a QS and run under OS9?
I also have a 867MHz CPU card for the QS which I plan to (try to) overclock, max RAM, mSata SSD etc. normal upgrades ready or already installed. So, I need to fix or replace the psu and figure out the best option for the GPU.
Thanks.
