Overclocking 9500Pro

[Viper96720]

If your 9500 has infineon memory then use this bios bios I had used the warp 11 bios from 3dchipset But if I tried to overclock it would give bad artifacts in games. Now I'm running 326core/310memory. The card has 3ns memory. Haven't tried any higher since 9700pro clock speeds are good enough for me.

How do you actually flash the bios? I downloaded the warp bios file from 3dchipset - I need to boot to DOS and type some commands, right? What are they? Also, how do I backup the current bios?

Ok assuming you have Atiflash and the new bios you need this is what you do.

Make a dos boot disk.
Copy the Atiflash files and the new bios on to the floppy.
Boot into dos and then type the following

atiflash -s 0 original.bin (Thats a Zero not O) This backsup the original bios to the file original.bin

then type

atiflash -f -p 0 BIOSNAME.bin (The Bios I used was named 95pro128.bin)

Then overclock the sh1t out of your card. I have my Ati retail 9500pro running at 360core 310memory with zero problems. Thats one
amazingly great overclocking card. Up from the 275/275 defaults. I havent pushed the memory up any more from my reading 310 seems
to be about the upper limit on the memory. I have seen alot of people with cores at 340 but after seeing some at 360 I tried it and it worked
flawlessly.

Thanks for the help.

Works fine at 310/310. Will bump it up even more later.

I didn't even need to flash the BIOS on my Rad9500PRO to o/c it ... simply download RivaTuner with the 9700siftmod and run it (patches the driver) and then you can o/c! Obviously a Rad9500PRO isn't going to yield 256bit DDR but there is no need to flash the BIOS to get those clocks to shift and STICK!
