Unfortunately it takes luck more than anything else, you gambled (twice) and lost. Still stock perf is very good and you can sell them (Ebay?) for the price you paid (if not more). Then grab a 9600PRO/XT which always tend to o/c very well ... they'll never be a 9800PRO but still VERY fast cards when o/c'ed.

Yes m8 there is a check box on those drivers to softmod the card.

Have you posted my res yet?

**Lambbuster** · 26-11-2003, 06:18 PM

No bother m8....just needed to know

Which se has the best ram on it then?

**Austin** · 26-11-2003, 10:10 PM

I don't think it matters, the 9800SE you want are the ones with 256bitDDR and 380/340 clocks, if the softmod works that means you're 100% equal to a 9800PRO and hence o/c'ing is to reach 9800XT speeds! RAM that works at 340mhz stock is already hugely fast ... I'd hope for more on the core myself.

recieved my 9800se aiw today from overclockers and it modded no problem and all using the latest omega drivers

**nips** · 28-11-2003, 12:08 AM

Ok i've really hit a bit of bad form, managed to get my third card and yet once again.....no luck, weird bit is that a lot of my desktop icons have corruption and artifacts but if i drop the desktop down to 16bit they r gone?

**Lexeus** · 28-11-2003, 01:05 AM

Maybe try downclocking the card ?
It could be that by lowering to 16 you are reducing stress on the pipelines, as would downclocking the card ....
