    i had a powercolor 9800se, 3dmark03 score was 3500, was unable to softmod it, assume i got a card with the extra 4 pipelines being defective......, not very happy with the performance, took it back and got myself a 9500np, 3dmark03 score was 2800, softmodded it successfully to a 9700, now...

    9500->9700 mod successful - but slow performance

    i suggest downloading the latest rivatuner(v2), and hack the drivers using this program. i remember also once downloading "apparently" hacked drivers, but they did not do a thing....., with this program you can literally see the "4" become a "8" when you have enabled the extra 4 pipelines. also...

    Radeon 9800SE is a 9500XT???

    FYI...., i returned the 9800se(based on what it says on the box is not what's in the box), and got myself a new cpu, 256 mb ram and got a radeon9500np. i was unable to mod the 9800se to use all 8 pipelines, and that convinced me to take it back. i know have the 9500np which i have been able...

    What's the deal with the Radeon 9800SE?

    i bought myself a 9800se, and was very dissappointed, firstly, because it's a little slower than a 9700 non pro, and also cos i was told it's the second edition of the 9800non-pro, which clearly it turned out not to be. Also, the box it came in said it had 8 pipelines, it only actually had 4...
