how do you soft-mod 9800se

[r3fl3x]

i know you can only soft the 256-bit 9800se(i know i have to enable the other 4pipelines to make 9800se close to 9800pro) but the only problem is how exactly do you softmod it?? i did some research and i am all confused . i looked at the ocfaqs and they stated to download some drivers in their download section but i am all confused

thx for the help

You need a card with L shaped memory to softmod.

You are attempting to get something for free. A 9800 pro for the price of a 9800SE. I would put up with any razzing you get for buying that card. Because if the soft-mod works, you'll be a very happy boy. If it doesn't, You are stuck with a card that is outperformed by a 9600XT.
Remember when the 9500 non pro with L-shaped memory could be modded to a 9700? They had a pretty high success rate. It was all over the web in almost every forum.

The 9800SE however is a different story. Although with extreme luck it could work, but I hear more warnings to not do it than happy stories about how it does work, if any.

Only attempt this mod if you are 100% sure that you can undo it if something goes wrong. Otherwise, you could be stuck with a paperweight.
I would like to hear from soneone who has done this successfully. I have even heard stories about successful mods actually being 5% slower than the 9800SE was in the first place.

Read this and all will be explained

Ahh, that explains the procedure. Unfortunatley the reviewer used a 9600XT for his tests. Not a 9500 non pro or a 9800SE.
Nice link though.
