Well, I finally got mobo #5 back from warranty. So, instead of hosing it right away, I decided to see what this Radeon 9500 Pro has in her.

Stock, she'c clocked at 260 core and 271 memory. That won't do. It's got the R9700 GPU on it, so I know there's quite a bit of headroom for overclocking. My precious 9500Pro (which a client of mine is using) topped out at 315/297 core/mem.

That's where the madness started.

To make a long story short, I just finished 3DM01 at 427/341 core/mem. On stock cooling.

previous 3Dm: 13260
current 3DM: 17,420

+4,160 3DM01 Points

Needless to say I'm very pleased.

The client will keep my card, as he's had it for a year & I really don't want to disrupt him.

Plus I really want to keep this one

Now let's see what this new Abit IC7-G can do...

[EDIT]

Some History: The card I've got now is an RMA replacement for the client's card. He bought it on my recommendation, and it crapped out on him within 3 days, and he doesn't even know what overclock means. I gave him my 9500Pro to use until his came back from RMA. In the mean time I sold my gear at the time and just let him keep my card. The RMA replacement I received ended up hosing 3 of my Abit boards, and 1 Intel board. It was replaced with the current card. I'm keeping it.
