haha, how high is ur temp now? I think the cooler is pretty good rite? After all, it looks exactly like the one used in 8800GT, dual slot some more...as long as below 70 I think OK gua

haha bro...ksking was the only one who manage to get this to work. Bro bryan went to sapu 6 Galaxy 9600GSO OC from lowyat and test...all kaput cannot mod (yet la)... so the success rate so far is 1OK to 6 FAIL. Not very good odds, IMO...but still a good card. Like playing lottery la, haha. If u hit, the jackpot is big.

wa...u flash to 8800GTS 512MB and the performance is 'just a little bit better than 3850' ??? Sure or not?? It should kick 3870 ass wid that kind of specs

haha...he successfully tested them...but all the tests were unsuccessful...get what I mean? hehe

yep...so far bryan hasn't managed to successfully flash it...perhaps someone in china will come up with a better bios and fix the problem. Or it could be that the problem is that these cards are really buggy 8800GTS being rebranded as 9600GSO with the faulty memchips disabled, and ksking was lucky enough to get one which worked. Meaning it's not a guaranteed thing. Like he says, so far the success rate is only 12.5%...not very promising. But still better than buying lok hap choi, haha

haha...i know 8800GTS is not god la...but it's better than 8800GT, which is better than 3870 ma. Besides, you managed to turn on all effects AND still feel smoother, so that's a great increase if u ask me...for doing essentially nothing but twiddling with some settings.

haha, by not so hot, how hot is it? u OC so much, sure got an increase

hoho ok thx...i geddit now.

Good score...just a lil shy of 10K...i think if u oc ur GC then can pass 10K easy.

haha wow, bryan, u got custom bios ady? Modify urself a?

haha....i think the reason why he wanted a beta tester is cos he duwan to risk his own cards...lol

can anyone give a rough translation?

from my limited babelfish translation, it appears that the article is saying the company is making some stunt in order to popularize the 9600GSO sales is it? That not all 9600GSO from the company is the same?

haha u understand the article? Can give summary?

haha what about: LOLWTFBBQPPL: Galaxy 9600GSO OC => 8800GTS 512MB!

bryan, what r u gonna do wif all ur GC now?

i think it depends on luck la. Some may work some may not. Unfair to judge adliew batch all won't work, he also trying to make sales only nia.

Haha...50% success...i guess it's true that these cards are buggy 8800GTSes la...cannot run at max so they close the faulty chips and resold as GSO. BTW the GSO can be overclocked to exceed the performance of 9600GT and MATCH a stock 8800GT performance. Don't believe me? Google the PoV 9600GSO review. The Galaxy GSO comes with huge cooler and an easy voltmod, so it's conceivable to OC it even higher than the PoV, which managed 666mhz core if you hav the patience. =)

u can lock the core and shader together right? Meaning to get higher shader speed, u need to increase core speed also ma...rite?

btw, can I be ur friend? =P

Added on June 2, 2008, 11:38 ambtw what about memory speed? any relation or bearing to the other speeds? Or just increase them to max 1000mhz? I read somewhere the 0.8ns memory chips of the Galaxy OC is rated for 1000mhz speeds, maybe lucky can go above that by a few %.

so meaning the overvolt will help clock the memories above the 1000mhz that they are supposedly rated at?

check back a few pages back, ksking posted his 3dmark as well as game results

Added on June 2, 2008, 1:42 pmlatest results from Guru3D:

9600GSO 384 overclocked: 666/1655/2000
9600GT overclocked : 750/1800/2100

The GSO loses to 9600GT by 1 to 2 FPS up to resolution of 2560x1600(!) where it loses by 5 FPS. It's not a huge difference, and shows that the GSO is really a great performer after OC due to the extra shaders (96 vs 64). The 9600GT was oc'ed higher, had more bits (256 vs 196) but only manages to pull ahead slightly in real world gaming tests. =)

I think the bullshit story has some truth in it la. Don forget ksking got his card to work. Its probably cos not all the cards can work...most probably they put in some moddable cards with the rest of the non-moddable (really buggy cut down 8800GTS cards) and let the consumer play lottery.

the problem is that flash is successful, but the card artifacts upon boot, suggesting that the card cannot use the bios or that the unlocked memchips contained errors (the reason why they are locked in the first place). The parental control u refer to is called UAC or user access control, and most users have probably turned them off already becaue it's very annoying.
