hey guys....do u think 9800 GTX can run on my system with a ayam brand 460W PSU ? Juz look at my signature. sorry i know this is kinda out of the question...but due to the up and coming of GTX280 series... hopefully i can get a 9800GTX or even a 9600GT...or is the 9600GSO still considered worth getting ? Advices. plz.

Cheapest and worther. 9600GSO OC.

doom3 ? hl2? LMAO hahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha



its peanuts

as long as u dont do 1920x1080 res with 16xAA and AF at max


or perhaps 9800gx2 or 3870x2 is better? overkill wey hahahahahah

Well, you sure dont want lag game experience so wanna ask for the best.

SlayerXT show your sli mode 9600gso please? =) I wanna see how well 2 of these cards perform. for rm700++ =)

just wanna ask, will overheating cause artifacts?? this morning when i was playing crysis, suddenly got artifact appear, and i minimize to check the temp, it was about 90-92 C

Yes overheating will cause all kinda problems, ultimately shortening the lifespan of your VGA. So if you are going to OC, think whether your VGA cooler can handle the extra heat or not over long term usage.

May I suggest you look at products like Gainward 9600GT-1GB Golden Sample or Gainward 9600GSO-768MB Extreme OC with solid heatpipe, custom cooler, large heatsink (front and back) for both core and mem with PCB cover. Take a look at this: http://www.netraid.com.my/Gainward-9600GSO-768.pdf

You can get Gainward VGA from Leh Teck with many special offers: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/702263

4850 sell at 650 ....@@ i think wan let my 96gso oc go or not ....

SlayerXT, i heard from punish that u manage to softmod one of ur gso card? can share here?

I bought an galaxy 9600GSO OC card(8 memchip) and i tried the 08m.rom and the bios.rom file too but i had only 384MBram and 192 bit memory interface
if i tried the 08m.rom then nothing is changed absolutely in gpuz or rivatuner.
If i tried the bios.rom then gpuz showed strange values but still 384MB ram and the performance was the same. no performance increase
i dont know why. i thought if i mod the card then it will be 512mb/256 bit and if i am not lucky there will be artifact in games. but the mod is not working

finally i found an albatron 8800GTS512mb bios and i thied that too but then i had only 192MB of memory :S so that wasnt good too

Any suggestion?

and could u please correct the link of the original galaxy 9600gso bios what is in the first page.
i made a copy of mine but now i flassed that and the comuter didnt want to turn on just after i reseted it. so maybe my saved bios is wrong.

it is works ? anyone try ?

U can see in 3dmark vantage database.

RM650? Who sell it? For me u better take that 4850 if u r not convince of the mod.

Yeah, 1 of my two card actually can be softmodded, I just cant believe it

WAHHHH....gila man....9600GSO become 8800gts 512.....talking bout banging the bucks ehhh.......

hey i have a question for you guys...i'm not gonna splurge on an aftermarket cooler, but i wanna get a better TIM like artic cooling cermique. My question is, can i take off my stock cooler, clean off the stock TIM with nail polish then put on the new TIM?

what about the ram? they use thermal pads right? if i take em off...then it won't work?

Again, it depends on which motherboard u hav. I've already shared that not all boards can read the modded bios of the card. and some even refused to boot with the modded bios, thus reverting to the backup bios

So are u saying if i try an another galaxy 9600gso then it wont be good too? and this is not my vga card defect?
I have an Asus P5B motherboard with the newest bios.

do u think worth to try to put it to my brothers gigabyte p35 ds3-r board? and meybe there will be good the mod?

and now i have an another problem: Today i tried an galaxy 8800gts 512Mb bios and after i flashed my computer didnt want to start up. it gave only beeps. i tried reset ctrl+alt+del didt used.
i turned off the computer and 5 minutes later it started with 8800gts512 bios but still had 192MB ram 192bit inferface so i flashed the original 9600gso bios to it. it was good for 2-3 restart and a few minutes ago my computer didnt start again(like 8800gts512 bios). beeping but no monitor signal. i turned off the computer for a while and it works now but i dont know why did this with the original bios.
when last happened this then i tried overclocking the card and i overclocked too much... maybe this was the problem but it shouldnt do this from the OC.

and my card not a good overclockable the highest stable clocks: 650/1650/2200 so far. i thoutht it will be better.

ps: sorry for my poor english.

Added on June 17, 2008, 6:05 pmand a bit correction. i said nothing is changed in gpuz with modded bios(08m.rom) but the gpuz shows another bios version for the card so the modded bios is flashed right.
do u still think this may be motherboard problem? or if the flash succeded then not the motherboard what is bad.

u hit ur memory limit already i guess. try lowering memory and increasing shaders

i started the OC with gpu/shadders and just after oced the memory. 3dmark frozen when the gpu was at 700MHz or the shadders on 1700

then you hit the barrier already. remember not all cards are manufactured the same. on the microscopic level, many defects can happen. Be happy with your clocks...or spend money to buy a better card.

then y not share here? should post some banchmark
