I have used Powerstrip on all my cards....various versions etc...
I have 9600Pro now, never overclocked it ......thought I'd have a play last night.
Soon as Powerstrip was running, NOT overclocked.....the pixels on the desktop and text went funny....
Disabled Powerstrip.....still bad....rebooted.....good as gold.
Ran 3dMark to be sure (default speeds)...no hassle...re activated Power strip......pixelation and bad text again.
And its NOT overclocked at all.....
What should I use, cos it doesnt like it at all![]()

There are plenty of o/c'ing tools (Rage3D, Rivatuner etc) but Powerstrip should be fine .. do you have the latest ver? Anyway I believe 9600pro is clock locked in the BIOS so you almost certainly need to flash or mod the BIOS to o/c. I haven't really looked into specifics for the 9600pro but it definitely IS worth o/c'ing ... 400/600 should easily become 500/700 which is a very sizable 20% boost, enough to surpass the 9500pro at last albeit when it's at stock!

From what I've read to date you shouldn't need a BIOS flash for a 9600PRO unless possibly if you get a true ATI card so get a powered by 9600PRO from anyone but Powercolor. Try the various Radeon o/c'ing proggies...
