Radeon 9600 PRO Overclocking

Thanks Ichy..

Btw Dave. What other Reviewer? have they posted anything online i can read about?

 

Doom III is still better than 3dmark03 though as it is not as intensive and will only get better, while 3dmark03 gives 20+fsp on Dave's tests ... I bet Doom III alpha gives better than that already. Like I said, lets see how a overclocked 9600 does on Doom III alpha and current DX7 games, If it gives 30+ fps on Doom III alpha then caveat emptor. Better get a 9800 Pro or nv35

In this scenario an overclocked 9600 becomes an oddity, good for benchmarking.

It reminds me of my GF4 MX440, and this is what I meant to say to Dave, the GF4 MX440 was a great overclocker, because it was more simplistic than the Ti series it overclocked out of this world ..mine does 405 / 680 ..check that against the default. Buit it still does 10 000 against 15000 for the ti series at 320/650 in 3dmark 2001.


You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd.

 

I think some people might owe TSMC an apology.

 

and what about that volt-mod

 

speaking of vmods...the vcore and vmem regulators of the 9600 pro look the same as the 9700 pro, just located in different areas *nudge nudge*

 

The DOOM3 alpha is also hardly indicative of what final performance will be like.

What do you think Carmack is doing right now? Well, aside from fixing the otherwise-horrendous NV3x performance of course

 

benchmarking an alpha that doesn't even run the path that the final game will utilize seems pretty damn pointless from just about any viewpoint I can imagine
once the game comes out it will most probably perform a hell of a lot better than this alpha does, especially on ATis cards

 

Here's something I've red recently @ rage3d forums :

There's a point .

This has nothing to do with TSMC .

 

Considering this is ATIs .13u "test" platform, great overclocking like this bodes very well for the .13u version of the R350 (if such a beast exists)... a 500MHz or so R350 core matched with 500MHz DDR2 memory would be a decent card I think

 

bah, I want a 1 GHz core to match my 1 Ghz DDR-II (with a 256 bit bus mind you)

in any case, if the 9800 Pro 256 MB is truly clocked at 400/920 while still being on 0.15
only asking for 500/1000 when stepping to 0.13 seems pretty pessimistic IMHO

 

340 for the memory is ok I guess
so 540/680 it is

could you do some AA/AF tests with these settings?

 

Hey hey ...

Over 1050 views per hour on a single theread ?!?!

 

WTF is this :

@537/300 gets 3816 3DMarks in 3DMark03

@537/340 gets 3860 3DMarks in 3DMArk03 ?!!??!

Only 44 3DMarks with almost 40% overclock ?

Why ??? :?

 

Yeah I don't get that either Dave wanna explain? Also 3860 sounds a little low to me considering I get 42XX with a 9500 pro @ 385/317.

Heres a link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=8998

But still 537 is just amazing considering that size of that fan....

 

he only ran with 437/430 right?

 

Core clock makes much more difference than memory clocks on most cards in 3DMark03.

Its shader limited for the most part.

 

pretty easy your are not able 2 set mem clock
had the same problem on my r9000mobile @ first
you need a new version of your oc tool with r9600
support.

 

It says 537 in the Futuremark page towards he linked ...

 

Please , give some details on that .
