Keep the customers happy? Get some more people to buy the card...

Although I have never used either of the cards, this still ****es me off, and influences if I purchase one in the future or not.

easy, if i can't overclock the 9500 Pro i'm going buy the GF4 TI4200. it's pretty simple. if they leave them locked i'm not going to buy a different ATI card, i'm giong to buy a Nvidia card.

I was going to buy the g4 ti4200 Albatron turbo with 3.3 ns mems, but I preferred to wait until the 9500 pro was out. Now I´m waiting until someone can overclock or I´ll wait until the Geforce FX. I was really looking forward to buy this card.

Do you have any hard proof that it's clock-locked yet? I mean, has a respectable hardware site, or ATI themselves come right out and stated 'Yes, we clock-locked this card"?

I'd wait until you know 100% before doing something like this.

That, and online petitions don't really work anyways. Neither does email. Hard copy is where it's at when it comes to something like this.

only thing is nothing by nvidia is faster at the moment. and if ya know me you know I am pro ATI , yet my 8500LE is sold tommorrow if I want yet I am kinda on the edge about buying the 9500 Pro as it may be locked.

my other though is an Albatron Turbo first gen card I have found for a few bucks cheaper, just so I can have some fun overclocking...... vbut I do not want to bother formatting to install a new vid card and it has been a while since using nvidia...

My 9000 Pro overclocks nicely

Cowboy X · Dec 14, 2002

The rumour is that newer 9000 pros may be oc locked

. There is a new powerstrip out so ppl should check and see if it can 'unlock' the 9500 series and newer 9000 series . This is all assuming that the rumour is true in the first place .

I only hope this is a overclocking software issue and not the card itself... I have the 9500 pro retail, built by ATi and i was unsuccessful at overclocking this card with every application made for oc'ing. The possible software issue has been suggested on other forums. The card is quite new if you think about it, needless to say, i am dissapointed in ATi for not telling us about this, if its even there fault. Other than that, this card amazed me as soon as i ran some game benchmarks. Although Quake 3 is an old game with an old engine... I can run 4x AA and 8x AF and get a 9fps difference from the avg without AA and AF. This is without any opengl tweaks whatsoever. I got 150fps, details maxed, no AA, no AF. I got 141fps with 4x AA and 8x AF. My GF3Ti200 could have never run those kind of visual tweaks without dropping to unplayable levels. With the eventual release of DX9, this card could be even more worth the money.

Add my name to the list, If ATI doesn't unlock the 9500pro, then I'll stick with my Radeon 8500LE and wait for the GeforceFX,

count me in!

I also want to see frequency adjustment.
fixing certain resolution and color depths to a refresh rate.
that is also not included standard in the drivers.

Don't you think it's alittle early so sign a petition? You don't even know if the card is actually locked or not.

Well, just in case they're thinking about doing it in the near future, at least they'll know where we stand...
