Couple of days ago www.xbitlabs.com published a report here ,on converting ATI 9500 card to ATI 9700 using Software only Unwinder patch , it did reported that not all mods end in SUCCESS . Today it has published how to convert ATI 9700 (@ US $318 approx.) card to ATI Fire GLX1 (@ US $ 600 approx.) and also turning ATI 9500 Card (@ US $150 to US $183 approx. ) to ATI FireGL Z1 card (@ US $ 500approx. ) by hardware mod. I wonder what is ATI thinking of this. Recently it has risen to top as (performance leader) after its introduction of ATI 9700 .But if these tricks are successfully executed, ATI might loose a large chunk of revenue earned by selling top-of-the-line cards.
