9600GSO to 8800GTS (certain 8chip 9600gso's)

has anyone been able to try this yet? I'd like to know if it works before I waste my time trying to find the card or pay for international shipping with the 4850 coming out

How's about reading the previous page? :)
Galaxy has unlockable cards, but some of the SPs are really broken,
and the cards are giving artifacts. Me, I'm skipping these cards; i
don't even have much time to play with all the work and exams...

It reminds me old Radeons 9500 modable to 9700 PRO
Eh.. great times :P

Hmm....no way to make an 8800GT into an 8800GTS 512 yet then? :D

Thread resurect!

Asus 512mb 9600GSO
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121314

Think that one would work?

Umm, the latest 9600 GSO uses G94b core, correct ? So with native 256 bit, there's not much to unlocked, and it comes with standard, hardlocked 48 SPs 24 TMUs configured GPU chip.

Exactly. A few months after release, nv sneakily replaced the original,
G92-based 9600GSO (96sp, 192 bit) with a G94 (48sp, 256 bit), keeping
the same name. The give-away is RAM amount: 192bit G92 cards have 384
or 768MB of RAM, while 256bit G94 cards have 256, 512 or 1024MB RAM. So
that there is a G94.

The description in Newegg is wrong. Look at the card, there are Memory IC missing.
It's based on the 192b-96SP G92, but with 512MB, so... there aren´t 85.33MB chips to cover the 192b bus and 512MB description :rofl:

It is a G92, 96SP, 512MB 128-bit card, that has nothing to do with any old "9600GSO"

And giving the fact that you can get those cards for about 50 bucks (30 if you find a deal) one really questions the necessity of purchasing these cards just to unlock. I understand if you are one of the 8 people who purchased this particular model when they first came out otherwise just go and buy a 9600gt for about 70 bucks.
