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

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!

**Calmatory** · 05-31-2008, 08:27 AM

Damn!

( 2 days too late!

Hopefully 2 Gigs of RAM + camera was worth more than 8800GTS. :|||

Also checked, this is one of the few Galaxy products that are not
available here.

(Hopefully it will be?...Is this a new card?)

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...

**Spectrobozo** · 05-31-2008, 11:44 AM

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"!?

Wrong version - that's why I asked ...

**G.Foyle** · 05-31-2008, 01:06 PM

AFAIK that 2-slot version has memory 8 chips. If not, I have seen the 8 chip card in Terra.com (Warszawa-Ochota).

**Kai Robinson** · 05-31-2008, 02:26 PM

Woo! Softmodding = WIN

But it is another version ... mem 1.2 not 0.8ns, other cooler ... can be not moddable ...

**ziddey** · 05-31-2008, 02:50 PM

still could be possible. if mem clocks are too high, might need to be corrected

The original article links to this:
http://www.szgalaxy.com/show/PCIEser...5-21/2376.html

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.

**y2kbos** · 05-31-2008, 04:04 PM

This is it then?

€200 for 2 delivered

They have a single slot cooler.... If you get all shaders working I foresee melting HSFs!

Look at the pics again - they are double-slot. It has the same cooler as the
Galaxy 8800GTs, just in blue.

**makaka** · 06-01-2008, 05:57 AM

anyone tested those cards ?? .

**cegras** · 06-01-2008, 06:57 AM

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 cooler

But its dual

Awesome sauce tbh! 9800GX2 performance for $200?
