NVIDIA's shady trick to boost the GeForce 9600GT

Some 3dmark 2006 results (win XP everyday, no special tweaks, LOD's, etc)

3dmark links:

Core 675, PCI-E 110 mhz -> 11602 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=5499640

Core 743, PCI-E 100 mhz -> 11523 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=5499628

Core 675, PCI-E 100 mhz -> 10971 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=5499566

Core 743, PCI-E 110 mhz -> don't run!

Its really more faster than 8800 GTS 320 mb!

Thats pretty interesting. Gonna try the stock clocks (675) with the 110 bus. Cant seem to do much better than 750 right now (700 set in riva).

UPDATE; Ran at 680 (read 734) and saw some artifacting, but posted my highest 06 so far, breaking the 17k barrier. Overall it was less than 100 point increase from what I was running before (700-shown as 756 with pci-E at 100). Maybe the artifacting was due to the vram, I'm not sure how far the mem on these can go. Currently at 1100.
