9200SE OC, Hah!

[obsolete]

Funny stuff. I use this card on my backup rig & got bored one day........Modded it & BOOM. This is with zero artifacts & or tears. Enjoy!!

Check out 9200SE-Stats....Not the newest & greatest thing ever, but I thought it may be a good read.

This is a killer OC for this card!!! At stock this thing runs 190ish/150!!!

AMD stock/retail heatsink on there. Bonded with Arctic Alumina Adhesive.

Wow. Excellent Job! When I had a 9200 non-se, I could only OC it to 293, 231...Very good job!

Of course, my 3dMark01SE score was 8273...better than yours...who cares anymore, right?

...I don't use that card anymore.

I care, matters to me. An overclock is an overclock regardless of the age.

I don't get why you scored a couple thousand points more then me though. On my backup rig (which has this card I oc'ed), I'm running a M-2600 at 12.5x200/w 512 of ram at 11-3-2-2 timings?!

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to look into this.

I believe the diference would be between the 9200 SE and the non-SE (my card). I know the SE versions of the 9800 and stuff all were downsized, but I didn't think that it would have much effect on a low-end card like the 9200.. Perhaps it does?

Thats a good question. I can't believe there would be such a difference. I won't have time to even think about it until early next week though. I honestly never even checked 3dmark03 or 3dmark2001 SE to see what 9200's are getting. Just thought it was funny how high it clocked. Now I'm way more curious.

Is one 64bit and the other 128bit?

[obsolete]

The 9200 SE I have is 128 bit. Looks like Yamiyanazz's is 128 as well..........No idea really, I need a little time to figure this one out.

I have a radeon 9200 se 128 bit but it is red and has vga, composite, and dv out, but what i was wanting to know is what drivers r u using??

[Mustanley]

Sounds like a good canditate for some V-mods!

I'm actually using Omega's 4.4's I believe. I was using ....... drawing a blank here, was some driver that allowed you to change the clock rate. Then after getting more then annoyed with those drivers. I just decided to create a back up of the video cards bios & then set the clock speed to what I wanted & flash it. :D That way it does not matter if you change the clock rate because it's already OC'ed to what I want it at.

Probably, if I get real bored & have the time, I just may do this. I still have not checked to see why my score is so low, lol.

You were talking about my card and I thought that I would throw in that it is a Gigabyte manufactured card. I do have ramsinks and an Iceberq4 attached, but that only gave me a few more MHz for overclocking. I'm still unsure about why your score is low, but if I stumble upon the difference, I'll let you know.

A thought that just crossed my mind was maybe you could flash your SE BIOS to a standard BIOS like what all the 9800 Pro people are doing to get XT scores? I'm not responsible if you mess anything up, but I heard that most of the time you can flash back if you run off of a PCI card or something...read into that, and if you can get it to run like mine, you win!

[obsolete]

I tried flashing numerous bios's already, actually. I don't remember which ones off hand cause none of them worked & resulted in a corrupt screen. I did only try the SE versions of each bios though. I can't imagine a standard 128 working, I could try it. Could not be worse then what happened after the bad flashes to the different SE bios's.

Thanks for the input, I'll look into that. The computer the card is in though is mostly video encoding or doing other miscellaneous tasks........A day shall come though, when we will see, or least I will.

Yes, but that day will also result in you posting on the forums about your results! Keep me informed.
