never run 'em 24/7 with high oc ( wat i mean here is say +100 over d stock speed), u mite lost ya card just like wat i did few months ago... smile.gif

benchmark is just a figure, means xthin if compared to longlivetivity... laugh.gif

worst still, u cant monitor d temp as 9x00 series doesn't suppport temp monitorin other than 96 & 98xt... wink.gif

do try diff driver as 3rd party like omega or dna boost d performance of some raddy... cool.gif

I'm using a Gigabyte R955 (128 bit).

Max OC at 400 Core, 480Mhz Mem with stock passive cooler. This is just a conservative setting to reduce damage risk.

3DMark 2001 SE score:
10,132 @ 1.800GHz and 400,480
11,188 @ 2.255GHz and 400,480

3DMark 2003 score:
3,059 @ 2.00GHz and 350,440

Aquamark 3:
27,884 @ 2.277GHz and 400,480

edit: added Aquamark 3 score

Maybe it's got something to do with the core cooler. Even my crappy (and I mean cheap, lame-@$$ looking crappy) passive unit can do 400 with no problems (although I'm always on the worry whether it'll burn out or not).

Might I suggest that you get an aftermarket cooler like the CoolVIVA? I just got one for myself but I'm yet to install it. I'm pretty sure it can hit at least 450 once it's done. I'll post up some pics and results after installing it.

I got it for only RM40 from kevinn7 in the Bulk section (together with a pack of RAMsinks for the VGA's RAM).
As for the mem speed, I'm very intrigued by the article written by Shah81. I'd like to try out the mem timing tips once I mod my 9550. Maybe that would help. 9550-->9550 GT spec would be enough for me.

The DDR2 make this card faster than the 9550 with DDR. And of course, the higher memory clock speed.

i bought it for RM335 from forumer storm88's bulk. AFAIK he doesnt sell them anymore... now only PCIE cards.

but if u wanna buy a good 9550 that the GeCube 9550 Extreme Edition is the way to go.

but if u can find the Grandmars 9550 Infinite even better.

but i suggest u get a 6200 128bit. make sure its 128bit. its better than the 9550. once again..make sure its 128bit. coz the 64bit versions are crap....9550 can easily spank the 64bit 6200

hmm.. madman,,,

i'm planning to get myself a zalman VF700-cu to see if it can go further....

i check modernopc.com , they are out of Vf700-cu already.... i think fatality is a lilttle expensive... they are left with vf-700-cu-LED 9Extra 10 bucks for the LED which i don't need.......

PROs and SIFUS..... if i purchase Zalman vf-700 , do you all think i can achieve

410/260(CORE/MEM=520mhz) on stock voltage?


what do you think?

..

i don't think 6200 can.. because out of my budget..

the reason i opted for normal 9550 is because i'm VERY very tight on budget...

and my parents REfuse to give me more money to upgrade my GC.,.,....

previously i was only using a gf2mx for 4 years.................... sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif

i want to squeeze every bit i can from my 9550.......

maybe i'll let shah81 do vmod on it..

hmm.... the HSF plastic pin wasn't design that well.... it's not easy to push it thorugh the hole....

i tried to get it out... but very difficult.. i'm afraid i'll have to break the two plastic pins to get the HSF out..

BTW ...

if i order from moderna using CC, how long ah the stuff will be delivered>??

i have a big problem...

i check my PSU...

i've used up all the connectors!!!.....

1 for dvd

1 for cd

1 for HDD1

1 for HDD2


i'm left weith none... even if i get VF700 or fatal1ty... i won't have enough connector to power up the FAN

CC??? i dunno if moderno accepts credit card man...best u check with him....

but usually if he has stock ull get in 2 or 3 days depending on when he ships out and when poslaju feeling rajin biggrin.gif

if u can COD with him might as well go and COD with him....hes in subang.

my fatality i COD with him.... he responds quite fast

fillet....where u located dude?

EDIT: DO NOT break the pins man...u might need it later on... sure can take out one and its not tricky.... those pins are very common....

use a 'playar muncung tirus'...cover it with a piece of cloth.....clip on the pins on the back of the card and push it out...gently...

As we speak, I've just finished slapping on my CoolVIVA on my 9550. Here are the results:

No artifacts at 470Mhz Core, 500MHz Mem, default voltage and RAM timings. I'm very happy, to say the least.

I'll post up some pics tomorrow of my 9550 and after it has been installed in the PC, including my review of the CoolVIVA. Hope it could be helpful to those planning on buying a cooler for their 9550.

hmmm.,..

for CS:S

at

350mhz CORE / 240 MHZ mem(480)



800x600 no artifacts..

but when change to 1024 x 768, got artifacts.. and game will crash.....


i hope after the Vmod ... and aftermarket cooler...

i wnat to reach 400mhz CORE, 260mhz MEM (520)

then i'm very happy adi...

BTw.. if i get a ZALMAN vf-700CU.. not worth.........

it's a freaking RM125... might as well i save the RM125.. selling my card for around RM160-RM170... then use the SAVED RM125, and RM160

which adds up to RM 285, get a better 9550... maybe 9550XT

i think my 9550 is not build base on standard PCB layout....

________________________________________________________________

ok.. guys...

what i did?

Reflash my 9550 with a HiS 9550 128mb 5nx bios, previously it was 9600np bios..

OCED (350/240), 3008
OCED(300/240), 2896

STOCK SPEED(250/196) i get 2405

but i'm worrying bout one thing.. my mem is suppose to be 128mb... my windows detec as 128mb... BUT, 3dmark03 keep detecing it to have only 64mb



i added my systeminfo attachment from 3dmark03 ...

under the display device.. what's bothering me is TOTAL AGP MEMORY : 64MB


????

hahah.. i don't have the default bios..

windows detect it as 128mb, 3dmark03 detect as 64mb..

i don't think my card has 64mb... because i tried flashing it with a 9550 256ram... it wouldn't boot into windows... i have to flash it back to 128mb....

so if my card only has 64 mb, it wouldn't boot into windows because the bios is 128





anyway... out of boringness.. i modded my card cooling system.......

i took off the stock fan, fitted with an OLD unused Case fan.....

after doing some test run.. i can bring it to 375mhz/250mhz...


BTW, my stock fan is 12v 0.1A, the modded CASE fan is 12v 0.15A

i use the socket on the VGA card........ the new fan needs 0.5A more.. i'm afraid my VGA card will be damage or burn because of the fan.,.,.


ALSO if i guess correctly.... i belive the Heatsink provided isn't doing it's job of conducting heat..

I had a 9550 128MB 128bit from Gigabyte. Now it's with my brother along with my old winny and av8 mobo. It did 400/250 and scored 13-14k in 01se. The core could go higher without any artifacts but I really never bothered to oc the crap out of it anyway. The mem is already at the max very lousy for a 4ns ram. Infineon sheesh.

artifacts means that u have already hit the limit....lower your clock when you see artifacts.
try to re-mount the heatsink. btw what thermal paste did you used?

one more thing, each card has its own limit. if everybody get their core to 400mhz it doesnt mean that your card will be the same. most cheap cards have a bad power circuitry and this could limit your oc badly.

so keep that in mind when you oc. always be cautious when you start seeing artifacts because thats the first sign of trouble.

i'm using ATI Tray Tools. thumbup.gif

ok.. i use Ati tray tools... my max GPU is 400mhz before any artifacts..

while the mem... i cannot OC at all... even 5 mhz, ATT artifact scan will detect artifacts..


haha in short... my 9550 is a stock 9600 ...lol

as for the 375/250... though CSS got no noticeable artifacts... i doin't dare to put the mem so high.,... because at 210.... Ati tray tools gives me a lot of artifacts..

BTW... i only attach the ZAlman vf700cu heat sink..... i didn't use the RAM sinks yet.. too short.... i orders new sinks from a local shop.. should arrive 2 more days...

____________________________________________________________________
ok.. everyone... i experimented with Bios...

it seems that different bios gives me different results..

With my Card's original bios, i can only touch MAX

400/200

WIth ATI 9550 bios, MAX

450/210 >>>>BUt Pixel Shader 2.0 won't work at anyclock..

with HiS 9550 bios...

450/200
__________________________________________________________

With My Card's Original Bios

i get 2449 >>>>250/200

i get 3075 >>>>400/200

gecube 9550 extream

default: core-400 mem-300
oced : core-450 mem-325

and 9550 xt was the same core as 9600pro or xt but the memory scale down already. so the 9550 bois should be same as 9600.

zahri, get the 9550v+

nelza_ax, it might still be heat issue.... did u install the fan on ur coolviva? get a fan to blow around ur GC area... it might recycling back hot air.... and put ur clocks back to stock if u OCed it.

da extra ram helps if u wanna play at higher resolution... why dont u guys try bios mod?? i've tried it with gecube 9550 extreme edition... got it to run speed at 9600 pro... changing coolers dont really help in ocing... especially this card... rather than buying this card, scout for others... i sold mine 1 month after bought it then change to x800pro...

Compare these 2 i think XpertVision will be better with the DDR2. Just like Gecube got a 9550xt running with DDR2, it's stock clock beat some overclocked 9550xt.

yeah,

i was going thru a lot of flyers and price list looking for the best 9550 to get ..

XpertVision was recommended by 3 person. and wondering wether are there any other card with the 9550 GPU, that cud match or beat this XPERtVIsion Card.

i just sold my Graphic CArd, so currently looking for a new one.

9550 wud be in my budget.

Thanks.

cool viva from cooler master is a good solution since its cheap... i think older version of artic silencer works, just that dont know in shop they still selling or not.. but then again would u spend another 100 for cooling?? thats like 1/4 of the card's price...

actually no..... 9550 tech is practically dead.. although its still a good card.

like zahri said....if u have the budget then go get a better one...

the current best low-end AGP card would be the 128bit 6200 (64bit sux).

moderno is selling the leadtek winfast 128bit 6200 for rm315 in his world of graphic cards thread in the bulk section.

i oso itching to get one.... still thinking about it....

erm... wink.gif

how much core and memory you can increase is subjective.

It depends on ur card too.... u can ask the sifu's here to help u with that.

I am currently using RIVATUNER... previously used ATITOOl..

but i think the atitool screwed my old GC. but then OK back,

if u want to OC more, make sure u have a GOOD COOLING system for ur GPU biggrin.gif


About feeling.. i think it makes u feel good, knowing that u are able to overclock the mem and core. Thats what i FELt. thumbup.gif rclxm9.gif

Beside ATI tool is any 1 try on the bios side?? Coz my mobo is K7N2 Delta, there are some vga setting in the bios might boost my graphic. Any can giv some info???

Currently i am using the OMEGA Driver ver 2.0

i used to use Ati Tool, i dunt know exactly how to use it,

but i used to use the auto mem / core

once u see artifacts u stop biggrin.gif

i hope that helps,

but better wait for better answers from People who are really familiar with ATI TOOL biggrin.gif

i also use ati tool, but i cant get it over 4000 in 3dmark03 even though i increase the core from 450 to 500, 350 mem to 370....
the default score i can get is around 3800...

Maybe because temp issue ? If ur gpu temp is high, it might make the gpu core unstable giving more or less marks. Do give a proper cooling and give a 2nd shot.

really?? wont it be loose or not touching the chips??
coz the whole cooler is quite big, and it cover up the core and the mem chipset....
if i remove the thermal tape and apply thermal paste, will it be able to fix in nicely so that every part that has to be cooled is touching the heatsink?

Ur Stock heatsink surely has at least 2 clips rite ?

once u have removed the heatsink,

clean up all the area which has the thermal tape.

use alcohol or just scrape it off with something sharp ( be careful )

after that i usually wash the heatsink with tap water or just wipe any dust on it....

then reapply AS5 or Thermal Paste on the Core and MEMory Chips.

Put the heatsink back and put it the heatsink clips that hold's the heatsink...

It should touch all the chips biggrin.gif

IF not, could u take a pic of ur card and post it here biggrin.gif


so we all can look at ur card biggrin.gif

GOOD LUCK biggrin.gif

i thought if remove the heatsink, the whole cooler is removed?
if i remove the cooler already, and i remove the thermal tape of the gpu only, then wont it leave a big gap when i applied thermal paste and fix it back??

well u can always try first... providing that u have etra thermal tape... there must be a reason why the use the thermal tape rather then using thermal paste...

clean all the surface... then test the placing of the heatsink... most importantly check whether the gpu chip touches the heat sink... if yes, next check the rams... if there is gaps even after u try to tighten it, then u have to use da thermal tape... if no gap then u can use thermal paste...

hope that was helpful

Dude, you're contradicting what u said earlier dude. wink.gif Dont misguide people. AS5 is conductive and putting AS5 on the mem chips would lead to someting really bad.

To cut the costs of the card's retail price.


Anyway, u can change the gpu core thermal material to AS5 to ensure better heat transfer but leave the gpu mem stock. This way u can crank the gpu speed only rather the gpu mem. If u got the cash, might as well u get evercool cooler from dinster which costs RM40 that gives a full copper cooler with 8 ramsinks for your card which would be a better choice and i think u wouldnt regret spending some cash for it.

erm..

didnt know AS5 is bad for your Memory ? i used it on my GC ram. biggrin.gif

Maybe it sounds contradicting..... i am just giving an alternative biggrin.gif

i agree with uzairi,

replace the stock heatsink.... biggrin.gif

worth the few extra bucks biggrin.gif

Hey guys, just got myself an Xpertvision 9550 V+.
On the first run, with stock drivers, everything stock, managed to get 36XX points. Now, running on the latest Omega Driver, just completed a test, 4006 3dMark Scores. Will try OC it after i get myself another cooler, any reccomendations.
I've seen someone selling Arctic Silencer for RM65, which should be a better choice, Arctic Silencer or CM Coolviva?

Actually 9550 isn't very hot la..you buy how big heatsink oso the performance wont increase much 1..I was a Sapphire 9550Turbo owner and i tried those high performance cooling oso got not much difference.But my 3DMark01 was 11000+ and 3DMark03 was abt 3900 marks with 460Mem/405Core.

i think the expertvision 9550v+ has a compatability issue with ati SILENCER.

I bought mine, but i cant install, the ATI SILENCER is hanging at the rear bay slot. maybe the GPU is lower than other 9550's GPU.

erm....

Thinking of selling it off and get some other coolers.... darn Stock Cooler...

gecube 9550xt 256mb ddr2 core not too hot, quite ocable, the memory very non ocable. from 700>>750mhz effective. which is just a 25mhz increase. the core managed to do 510 from 450 without artifacts. i believe the xpertvision shouldnt be too different. bought ramsinks for the gc, didnt oc but the rams still got very hot and laggy playing ghost recon advanced warfighter. the core no problem, the ram very hot. but the room i played in didnt have good ventilation.

Weird, my ATI 9550 , stock 250/200 can't clock much.

The GPU I manage to hit up to 450mhz
But the memory can't even up a single hert with ATI tools. cry.gif Many errors will start showing if I force the memory up to 220mhz.

But with 450/200 manage a 3255 by 3Dmark03 . cry.gif

wah ur gpu from 250 up until 450? thats a really high increase.... rams are sometimes picky, most likely must voltmod if want to increase it substantially. my ram from 350 can only reach 375. ddr2, 700-750 only...

Weird, my ATI 9550 , stock 250/200 can't clock much.

The GPU I manage to hit up to  450mhz
But the memory can't even up a single hert with ATI tools. cry.gif  Many errors will start showing if I force the memory up to 220mhz.

But with 450/200 manage a 3255 by 3Dmark03  .  cry.gif

same as my old 9550 , max is 480/217 ,
using samsung 4.0ns ram chip , asus also using this ram chip , but can go arround 300 ,
so i sold that card and bought another 9550*ddr2 version

clock 525/400 , able to hit 580/417 but running wif ori heatsink so din try.
03 i can get 4.7+k ,
01 able to get 15~6k
cpu is sempron 2500 @ 2.0GHz , ram speed is 222 @ 3-3-3-8 1T.

lazy to try my maximun result because it just a figure , important is play game no lag can liao.. tongue.gif tongue.gif

yup , i using default heat sink so din try , clock or din clock play game also smooth , so i din clock it.
if play NFS most wanted , need to clock abit for setting highest detail to over 30FPS.
so far the fps can maintain 60fps in most game , so i quiet satisfy this card.
some game like o2 jam the fps can reach 1~2k , drool.gif

well if you are using HIS 9550 , i remember can push it to 65% for the core clock with stock heatsink ...

with coolviva can reach its limit ... my fren burn the card due to extreme high clocking ...

i think it went over 90% overclocking in the core only ... memory clock is kinda bad ...

cant go that high not more than 30% even with a proper ramsinks and fan on it

Using atitool btw .... can play lots of game freaking smoothly on that card

550 to 700?
Use AtiTool to find the max mem speed. It's a very big increase, try see if it's stable.

Haha, got myself another Sapphire 9550 128mb edition.
Just tested with AtiTool and the core was able to got from 250 to more than 500mhz stable.
Running at 450/200 gets me around 3300+ 3dMarks scores.
Default scores 2400+ only.
System specs, Intel 3.06 HT socket 478, 512mb Ram, Abit Ai Mobo.

But still my Xpertvision 9550V+ scores higher.

no doubt that 9550 is a very OCable card, can get 9600XT spec with the 9550 price, sure evreryone will like it.
but nowadays, 9550 can be consider as a low-end card ald, if compare 2 years b4, 9550 still can put into the medium-end card... haiz... blush.gif

Usually putting a ramsink on the graphic card would not yield much difference.

Anyway, what is the default for your core and mem?

first try lowering the mem and and then clock your core to find it's highest limit.
Next lower back ur core to default and then clock ur mem till its highest.

oic...ur 9550 is the basic form of radeon...putting on ram sink doesnt give out very much difference u can try to change the core heatsink...

it's the core that is important...

yeah... using HIS 9550 256mb ddr2 ICeQ is great for OC...with default clock memory 700mhz. With fansink is big and cool i think this card can greatly for games. But SM version is 2.0, if SM 3.0 is better for future games. whistling.gif

i'd say u should get a GC cooler, especially Zalman cooler...then u can try to OC as much as u want until ur GC reached it's limit...

if u want to connect the fan to the power supply, use 3-pin to 4pin molex converter....

No point doing voltmod and use liquid cooling for this card la..Even if you mod it at the best,the performance will not be much to amaze anyone.Save money and buy another better card.Just my 2 cents.BTW,google for yourself if you wanna learn to mod.No spoonfeeding for lazy ppl.

I believe u still can go higher since 9550 is good in OC. U can try to use the ATI Tools to find the max core/mem automatically, but jus watch out the temperature for ur card. tongue.gif

Better be very careful and very sure if u really plan to voltmod ur card.
Make sure u understand the guides inside out, so i wont reccomend u using babelfish to translate the article as there could be dircrepencies.

U'd better seriously do some homework in google before starting ur project.
Btw, i recall theres another LYN member who would voltmod ur card for a certain charge, but i dun recall what is the nick. Try search around.

What 9550 u using there?
I think most 9550s can go more than that.
My Xpertvision stock clock is already more than that.
For my another sapphire, the core goes all the way up to 500 without artifacts.

Owhh...once tot of getting the fan card also, but after considering 9550 actually doesn't generate that much heat, gave up on that idea.
Did consider to add some ramsinks though. As the rams did not seem to clock very high.

Haha...just send it to shah81 and ask him to do it, easier...
Coz he has the experience, and we only have experience reading the articles, different thing.
The soldering skill also very important...

u don't think u can soft-mod your card, fren. ur 9550 is the the stock 9550 card. only extreme & XT edition have 9600 chip inside.

if ur using the XpertVision 9550V+ then im sorry to burst ur bubble one_guy but thats it? ur stock should be around 3.8k-3.9k la... ur oc should be able to pass 4.5k.

i used to have the same card (although it was branded as colorful, theyre both the same exact card except for the cooler). with the same stock clocks and same DDR2 Rams (Infineon 2.8ns)

on stock i managed to get 40** highest. after OC to 547/824 i got 4766 can refer MY ORB or THE OLD 3DMARK DATABASE

i was running on omega drivers.

That's beacuse u are using AMD Athlon™ 64 1980 MHz processor...
Mine only old AMD Sempron 2600+ 1835 Mhz ( Socket 462) and only 32bit not like u 64bit already..
Ur FSB also 200Mhz not like me only 166Mhz...
So,big different there.. smile.gif

I still have this card, but now running stock.
I managed around 41xx on stock (500:800).
After OC, i remember going very close to 5k on my AXP 2000 T-bred+NF7-S2...The speeds should be somewhere around 575:850 if i remember clearly, or was it more...
I've also tested it on a S754 Sempron 2800+, and managed to beat the 5k mark...

The proc makes some difference, but not that much i suppose for 03. Your scores are really on the low side among the 9550V+ user, btw, why ur stock only 450:700? I tot it should be 500:800?
