If successful? - How to check?
after modding, rivatuner will show 9600GSO but it will be 128SP, 256-bit and 512MB memory. I think everything else stays the same (ROP, etc). Then you can OC to 8800GTS speeds and if you compare with the actual 8800GTS, difference is only in the ROP, if not mistaken.

If failed??? (Touch wood) What to do? - Panic mode
to in back up bios mode is press ctrl+alt+del when system boot up ....in 3 sec .....if sucess in back up mode ...the bios screen will became normal ...then u in window to recover it bios .....if no flash back..after u restart it will same like b4 ......

If you screw up, when booting, press ctrl+alt+del while booting and the card will switch to the backed up bios. Then go back into windows and reflash to the default firmware. You can use rivatuner or gpuz to back up your current bios. You can also download from another forumer who posted it a few pages back.

How about the price.... under rm400???

So far this product not yet available in market and the latest ForceWave 175.12 beta driver also not yet support this model yet.

BUdget budget budget.

So they keep cuttiing the price.

bought new 8800gt for rm599 yesterday.. hope its price not regret me...

Urs is 256mb or 512mb version?

512mb

Hmm... not bad. there will be more option for low budget user.

dis is actually the "not-so-popular" 8800gs being re-named to 9600gso.its still slower then the 9600gt despite having more streams.

terence..my rm599 8800gt..

this 9 Series GSO like 8 series GS.....

where u buy?

skudai johor..

but what brand is it... the cooler looks like a third party cooler though...

It is a rebadged 8800GS for those who don't know

eagle..

yup.. big cooler..

This IS the 8800GS. Same exact features/specifications. Only rebadged as the 9600GSO

So basically, expect the price to be as off the 8800GS now.

8800GS is cheap!RM420 now for Asus one

the gs is not that bad.the OC versions are on par with the 9600gt.The gs only loses when the AA is turned on because of the 192bit.i have tried it before, and its every bit like its bigger brother the 8800gt 512mb at low resolutions.

I think wont so cheap.Rm-600-rm700.
