LOL ABIT GURU-9550s are teh bomb :)

Cheap, but wow the overclocking is good

Come over as a very quality product, really thick, solid orange PCB, hsf is pretty quiet (and active ), and RAMsinks into the bargain...you even get a dual BIOS and core/mem voltage adjustment...

Anyway i've only had it for a coupe hours, but the memory came stock at 400mhz, doing 600mhz no worries, ramsinks are still cool to touch, no artifacts in atitool or 3dmark05.

Might have a go at the core now

Well core came at 300mhz when you set the jumper to the overclocked BIOS, currently stable and artifact free at 400mhz...so i have a 9600 pro on my hands

see if you can get 9600XT out of it

that should be 500 core and still 600 mem

yeah, i read a few reviews that said they got over that, might have a go

 

[dug777]

well i got 486 for the core, and 634 for the mem Thats the max vguru goes up to, completely stable, no artifacts

EDIT: so basically 14mhz slower than an XT on the core, and 34mhz faster on the RAM...

Where'd you pick it up from, and for how much? Linkage?

some australia only delivery site, with airfreight (overnight ) it was $130AUD before tax, i imagine they are far cheaper in the US tho...as most graphics cards are

so how do i push it further? i'm at the top of the sliders for vGuru (which lets me go higher than ATI tray tools), and ati tool..

I believe RivaTuner while it sliders might not go as high... if you look in the advanced option is believe you can manuall input your core clock, and your memory clock.

With rad linker you can adjust the multiplier on the cards. This makes it possible to get VERY high frequencies.
