Probably be easier to do this software, as I *think* I recall reading that the 256 PRO was just a locked 9800XT anyway...

It could be as simple as a bios flash, or it could be hardware locked, by not supplying enough voltage to provide higher clocks, in which case a hardware voltmod will need to be done. I don't quite recall, since I never bothered with the 9800 series, it wasn't a conceivable upgrade from my 9700

Software is easier to do. Btw you do know there is an overclocking guide in another thread on the hardware boards go read it.

ya i took a look at it im gonna try it out wen i get back form my gfs house
nice post tho man im sure it helped alot of ppl out
in ur post u said u screwed ur card up? wat was ur core and memery speed set at?
wat do u think a safe core and memery speed should be for a 9800 pro? will i be able to push it to xt speeds with no harm?>

slugslinger

i found a good site with alot of ATI BIOS
check it out if u guys plan on testin it out
http://www.techpowerup.com/bios/
i think i mgonna flash my 9800pro seems pretty simple
uhhh just 1 small question tho
is the 9800 pro 256 retail a locked XT?

RGM-79N_GM_CUstom

Yes its supposed to be atleast the article I found said it is and if it isn't you can always reinstall the old bios. Also a guestimet would be around 388Mhz core. When I screwed up my Radeon I was running it at 405Mhz core and stock memory speeds.

RGM-79N_GM_CUstom

Mine was a real Pro model and not an underclocked XT Core. I am not sure what XT core speeds are. I recommend you try out ATI 9800 XT 256 MB Oct 23rd 2003 3:28 PM Mar 14th 2004 4:51 PM 412 / 365
Samsung one.
