it is possible to mod any 9600GSO cards which are originally built as a 8800GTS 512

And that is Galaxy 9600gso the ying version. :frown:

It's a shame you can't find any for sale at the moment. I'd jump all over it.

I've always been a big fan of the moddable cards. 9500np, 6800nu, x800gto2, x800p vivo. It's just the feeling of getting something for nothing, and having the know how

Don't forget the newer ones (x1800gto and 7900gto). The 7900gto was a steal at $225 for what was basically a $400 7900gtx.

thanks for refreshing my mind... by no means was my list meant to be complete just the ones that popped in my head in the 15 seconds it took to type that post.

 

[firewolfsm]

I'm getting one

 

[AzN]

They only sell it in Asia and Australia. maybe Canada.

 

[theAnimal]

ncixus.com carries Galaxy, but not the 9600GSO.

 

[OmegaShadow]

ya they do sell it here in canada. i'm thinking of picking one up at one of the local stores for $129, while selling my current evga 8800gs for $115.

 

[geokilla]

Nice Canada Computers has one. Only downside is that you won't have warranty. Plus, flashing video card BIOS can be a bit difficult from what I heard.

If I do encounter a problem with the "8800GTS" could I revert it back to the factory BIOS and send it in for repairs or RMA?

 

[BlindBartimaeus]

I see EVGA has a 384 version as well. I think I am going to try it.

Chinese Specs
English Specs
The pictures are different so the cards sold in Asia and Americas are probably different as well. Also Canada Computer's isn't OC version and its specs don't match with the OC version.
So don't order the one from Canada Computer

 

[s44]

If you guys wait a month or so, the actual GTS might drop to that price

Yeah, the one I've seen mentioned in two unlocking articles specifically quotes the OC version which has specs of 600/2000, can't remember shader clocks. But that one physically has 8 mem modules.

If anyone wants to be brave and order the 600/1800 one from canada computers, go ahead, but I'm pretty positive that's not the correct one.

GALAXY 9600 GSO

That's not even the overclocked version, much less the Ying version that's probably only available in Asia.

 

[geokilla]

Hmm, Canada is part of the Americas. It should work....

 

[wbynum]

Is it possible to just enable the extra shaders, via a bios flash, on normal 9600gso cards?

Well if you want the complete list:
9500NP->9700Pro
9550->9600
9800SE->9800Pro
9800Pro->9800XT(Unlocks R360 Shader Optimizations)
X800Pro(Soft and Hardmod)->X800XT
X800GTO->X850XT(IIRC)
X1800GTO-X1800Pro
6200->6600 Non GT
6800LE->6800NU->6800GT
7900GTO->7900GTX
8600GSO->8800GT

Not to count the FireGL and Quadro softmods that give you a damn good deal on workstation cards.

 

[cusideabelincoln]

You forgot the X800GT, which I believe could be modded to several different versions of the X800/X850 lineup depending on what kind you got.
