Man, SE means 64 bit bandwidth instead of 128. No matter how much you overclock, it will be far from a real Pro.

Core probably can be overclocked to near Pro levels, but doesn't matter: it will become hanging around more of the time due to limited memoey bandwitdh.

Sorry for the bad news.



Still looking for a <b>good online retailer</b> in Spain :frown:

Nobody can really tell you what the OC limits are of your card. Thats part of overclocking, you just have to try and see what gains you can get. Even if you get your card to boot and run windows, only after running 3d apps for an extended period of time might you start to see artifacts. If you want to make your card faster, get ATI tool and play around with it!

I had a bba 9600 non pro (non-se)I flashed it and used the bios from a PC9600pro ez. It wouldnt overclock stably at all really, even with the 4ns samsung ram it was a complete dog. The small amount I could achieve with stability wasnt worth the hassle, there was no visible difference in games and the benchies didnt go up much at all. And with that crippled 64bit buswidth you may as well just come to grips with the fact that it will never be a speed demon in most of todays games.
