Modding a Radeon 9200SE

9200SE = Spoiled Edition. Once something is spoiled....well u know....

There are so too many issues with this card... Low GPU clock speed (new cards 2-2.5 faster), only 4 pipes (new cards 16). 64 bit bus, even if it had 128-bit bus (industry already at 256-bit, moving to 512-bit soon). Textures per pipelines max is = 1 (4x1 = fillrate is horrible). Probably has 2 vertex engines (new cards have 6). No support for DX9.0 (no PS2.0, industry is already at 3.0 and moving past that real soon). The issue is that this card is too slow for DX8 generation and we are on the peak of DX9, DX10 in 2006 (almost here). Onboard memory at 64mb (industry is at 256 and moving to 512 already). Put it this way, Radeon 8500 64mb in August 2001 was already faster than this card as of February 26th, 2005 (or 3.5 years fast forward). Given that graphics card speed usually doubles every 1 year....well you get the point.

This card is beyond any type of "repair".

Also, you can never "softmod" memory to increase its bus-width. The reason why you can unlock the pipelines on some videocards is because they are already there (just locked away). Think about it, can you "softmod" SDRAM into DDRAM?
