while rivatuner uses software I think, it lowers the timings, so you can reach higher speeds, while powerstrip has access directly to the bios & ups the speed while maintaining the very strict timings

this way, or around, not sure which one does what, I'm sure you are resourcefull enough to find the definitive answer :grin:

I know, i found an excellent guide made by pilsy yesterday @xtreme explaining the differences between software overclocken (riva) and hardware (pstrip).

To reach 375mhz i have to overclock to 368mhz (pstrip max), and overclock with riva a few more mhz.

@Tpower: i still see the connect3D 9500 128mb for sale...?

cool I wuss right then

got any 3DMarkRun @ 375Mhz?

what is the stock speed of a R9500 again?

375 = corespeed I presume.. how high does the memory go?

thats what I call a

card...

These drivers don't like 3Dmark...

Low quality driver settings (no AA or FA):
stock speed: 275mhz
360mhz core: ok
368mhz core: fail

High Quality settings (4x AA & 16x FA):
360mhz: ok
368mhz: ok
375mhz: ok (can play UT 2K3 100mhz above stock for hours!)
>375mhz: fail

low quality @ 360/315mhz: 16200 3D marks

highq @ 375/315: 11500 (4x AA & 16x AF!)

memory is 3.6ns: stock 270mhz, theoretical max 275mhz. Max w/o artifacts: 315mhz (9700 pro: 310)

Yep hij staat er nog
maar ik heb mail van Wim zelf gekregen
dat er een heel nieuwe lading kaarten moet binnenkomen over een 10tal dagen

Die kaarten kunnen volledig anders zijn : een nieuwe revisie
misschien omgevormd reeds in het nieuwe 9500 noPRO model.

I am afraid to buy again.
