Very interesting indeed. At least some 9600gso's with all 8 chips instead of 6 can very well be unlocked. Not only will all 512mb become available (and interface goes to 256bit), but all 128 stream processors will be usable. And indeed, these are still using g92-150 chips and not g92-400's. Currently, we've seen at least galaxy (kfa2) 9600gso's with all 8 chips.
Perhaps this means soon we'll have 8800gt to 8800gts possible?
Holy crap
Ill buy a galaxy 9600GSO right away!
Damn! :(( 2 days too late! :(
Hopefully 2 Gigs of RAM + camera was worth more than 8800GTS. :|||
Damn i will get two .
They are not available here , please test and report .:DQuote:

Edit: ooh, it seems I've found a shop that has it after all - if this
one is that: Galaxy - 9600GSO 384MB XTREME TUNER
Makes me wonder if it's real, I mean, what's in it for Galaxy? Sell
more expensive chips (ones with all 128 SPs working) and more
memory chips (8 instead of 6) for half the price of an 8800GTS?
This is not quite economical.
However, it's at a good price, has 0.8ns RAM to make up for the
thinner bus and I should upgrade my card, so I think I'll get it next
week and report back.
Available in Poland for 300zł (~140$). I might buy one just to test, if it's not unlockable I can always sell it...
very cool,
but most of the 8800GS/9600GSO only have the 6 chips, but the GPU is a g92 to, so it is possible to unlock the shader units/rops/tmus on any 8800GS/9600GSO?! or the other have the g92 with the locked shader units/rops/tmus physically "destroyed"!?
Where ?? :DQuote:

Woo! Softmodding = WIN :D
But it is another version ... mem 1.2 not 0.8ns, other cooler ... can be not moddable ...Quote:

Galaxy's english site and what local retailers probably have is this:
http://www.galaxytech.com/product_details.asp?id=184
This also has the 0.8ns ram, and it looks like only the cooler and the
connectors are different (although not much else is visible..)
Your verdict? IMO it's as close as it gets.
This is it then?

They have a single slot cooler.... If you get all shaders working I foresee melting HSFs! :D
Look at the pics again - they are double-slot. It has the same cooler as theQuote:

XFX sells a 512 version, on NCIX.
Yeah i see it in the new pic, the pic in the original post looks exactly like a single slot coolerQuote:

Awesome sauce tbh! 9800GX2 performance for $200?
It seems like the version available on Allegro is not the one we are looking for. It was available in one of local shops but it's sold out ATM and they don't know if more will be available.
It seems like Palit has two versions of 8800GS, of which one has 8 memory chips. That one should be unlockable, too.
I don't see itQuote:

Damn but no one sells them here in Finalnd or germany :(
apart from teh memory chips no. being 8 for 32 x 8 , what is the other factor for the conclusion in whether it will be unlockable or not?
The 9600GSO has a 384 and a 768MB model - the 384 doesn't have aQuote:

The (global) page shows no Palit 8800GS.
Gainward otoh and afaik also belongs to palit, but their 88gs also have
the first pair missing it seems.
I'm feeling more and more like it's just isolated cases, and no "this model
is surely flashable to 128sp/512MB" magic model. :(
I have seen two 384MB versions, one with gold coloured cooler and short memory cooling plate, and one with blue cooler and longer cooling plate which looks as if it covered more chips. I'll have to check that tomorrow.
Palit with "gold" ram plate (the 768MB version):
http://www.palit.biz/main/vgapro.php?id=661 - although you can't see
the chips, you can never be sure that they are really there, as:
Palit without the ram plate (384MB version):
http://www.palit.biz/main/vgapro.php?id=664 - missing chips visible.
There are hardly any reviews of these, and even less where they
actually take the cards apart... :rolleyes:
Gainward 8800GS with blue plate:
http://www.gainward.com/product/prod...roducts_id=152
- looks too short to cover all chips; greatly redesigned
Gainward 9600GSO:
http://www.gainward.com/product/prod...roducts_id=164
- missing chips
I'm still guessing that if this exists, then the Galaxy GSO xtreme tuner
might be it. The card and the board on the picture looks exactly like
their 8800GT, with the two pci-power and volt jumper; it also says
3-phase power (like on the 8800GT & GTS, but unlike other GS and GSO
cards with only 2-phase) and 0.8ns ram (like GTS cards).
Maybe this was their late attempt at a non-reference 8800GTS card,
but then nV ordered them to stop and get ready for the 9800 and
9900 line and GT2x0. This is just a very vague guess though... :shrug:
Please test and report, also any one know where i can find those card in Europe (i am located in Ukraine) .
wonderful performance for 200 $ (2x8800 GTS) , i will sell my card and get 2 of those .
Are these not them?

Dont speak polish, so could you tell if they to ship to Ireland?
This looks like bad news:
http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=267400
The same black card as in the OP's link, but the photo shows only 6
ram chips :(
This could mean that
A) the news about the mod is a hoax
B) only some cards have all 8 chips even if you find the right model
"If it looks too good to be true, that may be because it is..."
They will ship to Ireland, but everything indicates that this is not the desired version. I should be able to check it tomorrow.Quote:

I believe not all cards are 100% mod-able. Some shader processors might be broken etc....like 9800SE's time.
^damn there keeps going down the hopes part

this is like the 7900GTO
basically it looks really good
for about a month and then you smack yourself for not waiting.
Heheh, who knows?Quote:

going to fill the gap left by the 8800GT, GTS and GTX.
If this fully unlocks, or even if it looses a block of shaders, then it's on
par with an 8800GT or GTS (or with the faster ram, a 9800GTX).
At $120, the price loss won't be that bad.
I have clocked all of core/shader/memory speeds down by 50% LOL.... still the same. Upped vgpu as well (this galaxy oc series have a jumper to increase the vgpu by a little:D). BTW, I'm using an Abit NFM2S...it has 8x pci-e bandwidth. I don't know if that matters or not (not likely:()Quote:

It is possible to flash and several local forumer(lowyat.net) have done it but it will artifact on some application:(
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? :)Quote:

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,Quote:

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 arenīt 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.Quote:
