Radeon 9500 non pro, and a radeon 9800 pro 256 ... what can i do
I am kinda new to this and have a 9500 non pro with the red pcb and l shaped ram, I used the old omega drivers to clock it as a 9700, what can i do now? Are the new omega drivers capable of that as well?
I also have a 9800 pro 256, what can i do to squeeze the most performance out of it? Thanks Gagnastiak |

yes the "new" - haven't had a new set in ~1month+ - omega drivers come with the 9500-9700 softmod driver you can chose during the installation. the omega drivers also conveniently come with the 9800SE-pro/Pro-XT softmod drivers so just choose what you want during the installation

You might just try a straight overclock..see how far you get in ATI Tool

 This propmpted me one question on my 9600XT. I'm on Omega and I chose the default non-sofmode during installation and I did OC my card. (The "1st Option"). So, do you think I should had used the 9800 sofmode instead, for better perfromance and OC on my 9600XT? (The "3rd option") or 9600XT can not use this 9800 Sofmode?  I need you advice. Thanks !  |

9800 softmode is only for 9800 cards. |

Maybe new cooling would help

 I OC it to 540.00 / 310.00 with stock cooler and so far so good!  I think its GPU can be OC much higher but not the Memory, but I just do not dare with the stock cooler!  |

Monitor the temperatures with ATI Tool. As long as it runs artifact free for a good while, it should be OK..
On stock my friend took that exact same card to 560/333 without issue. Further RAM cooling and a new cooler allowed 610/345 speeds. |
