if that one cannot, reply here, i will send an email to u for the bios....

After HD4000 series this topic is no more heat up. Anyway for me this is is very nice price/performance card for those who is tight budget especially when the mod is successful.

ya, totally agree with that one....imagine a card that cost just RM400 can play high setting(maybe very high also) in crysis, even though no AA, still very nice

but anyway i feel that HD 4850 performance is not so surprise
not worth to get it when 9600GSO OC just 10-20% behind it when we gonna pay 50% extra...
if mod success, shd be almost on par

hi guys,
so is it worth to buy?
for the 9600gso oc version??
for this moment.......

U can always wait for HD4850 to further down the price. IMO, u better grab HD for definite price/performance.

yes, that's true actually...i read some of the reviews, the stock performance of the card is the same as mine(after success mod)

problem is now 4850 around rm650
i got rm350 on hand only....u say how i can buy tat ....

is 72c load temp normal?

o/ced? modded or stock bios?

Heard the current batch of Galaxy 9600GSO comes with only 6 chips, ie. not moddable. Is it true?

Further, is there any way to really confirm the no. of stream processors after the mod? Any programs?

Who has the original BIOS, I flashed it and artifacts appear when I boot my computer. I press CTRL+ALT+DEL and the problems still persist. I could go into windows but when I open the XtremeTuner it said hardware failed.
Any solutions for this?

Probably it's true. If it's 6 mem chip, then there is nothing to softmod anymore....at least until Rivatuner supports nvstrap driver for G92 and pray that nvidia didn't laser cut the 32sp.

U can use GPU-Z, Rivatuner, 3dmarks(score increment for the same clockspeed), 20-30% higher frame rate in games, higher GPU temperature (for the same clockspeed) etc....too many ways.

U flashed with which BIOS? Hold Ctrl+alt+del until it boot up with the 2nd bios (This is hard to tell if u flashed 384MB bios into first ROM...but it shall boot ok, no artifact).

I pressed CTRL + ALT + DEL during start ups
The artifacts still occurs.

OMG.. I was wondering what does NVSTRAP does. So it... Unlock the shaders? From 96 to 128?

About the Ctrl+alt+del.. It takes a while.. It took me 3-5 tries usually to get the backup bios to work. Just keep resetting the pc using C+A+D until no artifact appears? Or until 384MB shows up.

oo..finally found what u want?? congrats man...
happy time OC everyone..
BTW, FOR U OVERCLOCKERS THAT OWN THIS CARD, YES YOU, how about posting final, stable OC result here??
we can see who able to OC high, and also gv other user reference....

Actually, I think the chances are, u unlock to 128sp (so that it has 256bit and 512mb)...then use nvstrap to lock the broken sp (it still has 256bit and 512mb). For users with 6 memchips...it should work the other way round but I doubt it will work. We nvr know anyways....

i'll start from myself...

Core: 675
Shader: 1690
Memory: 1K
voltage: 1.2V

this is still not my final result, as i was sitting for my exam earlier this week...
will try to tweak more later

Hmm.. You make more sense.. Cos since they unlock to 128SP that's why I'm having all the artifacts. So if I unlock 512MB but lock the extra shaders then my gcard might be good again. But nvstrap would just be working in windows right? So outside windows it will still have artifacts since it's still 128SP? =/

I go second

Bios: Original
Core: 685
Shader: 1715
Memory: 1K
Voltage: 1.2V
Temp: 50/75C

Tweaked to the max already Kinda low. Need to try to overvolt but that would need 3rd party cooler.
