9700 Pro Clock Rates

[RSanders]

I just got a 9700 Pro today and I am wandering the default clock rates.

Here is what shows up on mine:
Core: 324
Memory: 290

Which is exactly what was on my Radeon 8500 before I changed, atleast I believe it was.

Core Speed 325MHz
Memory Speed 310MHz DDR

Pulled from rage3d.com

Any idea why it was showing the other? I was viewing it using the Omega drivers Advanced 3d - Clock Rate area... Seems like it would show what is default with the card...

BTW, it was Radeon 8500 LE 128MB

R8500 is 275/275.

The 9700P should be at least twice as fast. :beer:

Did you buy the card new or used? AFAIK the 9700NP came at 275/270. It's possible that the previous owner flashed the BIOS to 290 for some unknown reason.

Bought it new. It is an ATI Radeon, not Sapphire or any of that.

The default clock speeds are:

324 Core
310 Memory

Some cards were sold as Pros with slower memory so if you didn't read the fine print you ended up not getting a true Pro. Crappy deal.

That is where I bought it...

Well... this thing should be 325/310 and it is not. They will expect to hear from me very soon. Thanks for all of your help you guys!
