9600GT voltmod thread

[TheGoat Eater]

can't wait for my first shipment from Palit --->dual 9600gt cards to get in along with dual 7300gt cards so I will need to find some vmods for them seeing that there cards are almost all non-reference boards (9800 GX2 is reference... as they all are - for now )

[kaptan54]

Here we are ;]


vMEM def - 1.95v - max 2200Mhz - ATITool artifact scan free
vMEM - 2.06v - max 2300Mhz - ATITool artifact scan free

thank you so much.
has it for gpu pencil mod?

[Lanc]

Maybe someone can find vGPU mod for it. If you want i can make better photos etc

Nowhere on the internets is any information on how to mod the OCP on 9600gt. In fact many people have problems with factory overclocked cards on reference design which has been called the black screen - the same thing which happens when we slightly increase the voltage and try to up frequencies (and even when not increasing the voltage but upping the gpu/shader freq.).

I have gotten this black screen with my BFG's OC version, 675/900. Seems to be 710 on the core is about max, and anything over 1800 shader is shaky. Wish the bios trick would work. I'm gonna see how they handle 1080p, and if I'm not happy, they might go in with spare parts for an SLI system I'll ebay. I'm thinking g92 GTS will perform similar with bios vmod/high clocks.

Change yours codecs for HD movies...

1080p run very good on 7300GT.

I was referring to gaming, havent tried movies yet. Today, for the 1st time ever since I got my 42, I finally got to hook up my pc while the woman was away. I have to say, I couldnt be happier with SLI performance at 1080p with these cards. 1920x1080 with 2xAA and 12xAF running a Vegas coop server and was averaging around 80fps. You know how shaky that game normally looks, and it was actually pretty smooth.

@Massman
We waiting for vGPU mod to Galaxy

[massman]

The article should have been published this weekend, but we ran into some problems with the Tek9 (didn't fit), so we're awaiting the arrival of the new bracket to bench and finish the article, which SHOULD be by the end of next week.

They did take first spot in 3D Mark 2001, VGA on air

i have tried to do this mod on my Point of View 9600 GT card, this is the result :
GPU was able to run 820 Mhz using 1.2 V. and the memory can run at 1200 Mhz using 2.2 V

[vagos]

Have you any vgpu pencil mod?

[akin]

for the GPU i just change the VDI configuration to 0 1 1 0 (vid 2, vid 3, vid 4, vid 5).

i do the pencil trick on Vmem mod

Palit 9600GT "vanilla" vGPU mod:

[akin]

is this card does't use the referece board ?

[largon]

Yup, it's not reference. And, AFAIK, Palit's Sonic has yet another PCB different to the vanilla board.

[akin]

mmm i think GPU voltmod of this card is little bit easy than the card that using the reference board..

[largon]

There is a mod just like this also for the reference card.
See post #96 in this very thread.

[TheGoat Eater]

thanks largon - what is the voltage after the mod (of the Palti card)

[largon]

It's a traditional variable resistor mod so it starts at ~stock and you can tune it up to a value "high enough".

[LyP0]

any fix yet for the reference model ?

[TheGoat Eater]

thsi will be my first soldering mod - any guides here at XS on the soldering on graphics cards -the proper soldering of VRs (like the way they should be turned first), and ect. --- I did a bunch of traces on 7900GTs with great results so I know how to use a mutimeter and such- also what is the best solder to use?... will be getting good equipment too

[jan]

hey, i had to rma my sparkle 9600gt which was reference design...

the new card has different pcb so maybe someone can help with vmods for this card

Palit 9600GT "vanilla" vGPU mod:

1. Where should the resistor be set before ya solder? (IE what value will demonstrate least impact on voltage)?
2. Got a vmem mod for the palit?

[largon]

Lithan,
Set it at max resistance.
vMEM mod wouldn't do any good as these cards have Qimonda crap GDDR3 and vDDQ = vDD. Increasing memory vDD would only make it worse.

please report the code of this marked IC's
