    Well I'm not getting much of an increase in the fill rate but my score went from 3619 to 3849. I used to have to OC my cpu to 2.2GHz to get the 3619, and I presently have my cpu at stock and I got the 3849. BTW my card is at 303/303(606).

    Oh, nah I meant to see if you're actually o/cing, I guess you are cause you're getting higher scores.

    Hey thanks for the help chuck. I'm at 309/305(610) right now, anything higher seems to artifact. I'm gonna start testing and reOCing my CPU later today. And again thanks man.

    Some 9500NP did come with L shaped memory but I have never seen A 9500P with L shaped memory. Ati did rig some 9700s with L shaped 128bit memory and gave to review sites but that is all I know about.

    Anyways, did you try rage tweak 3.9 before you flashed your card? Some clock-locked cards can be overclocked without a bios flash. Also if you used warps bios you got the bios thats for hynix memory 3.3ns. I dont think it will hurt the card but the ram timings will be off. My 9500p overclocks to 335/330 FYI.


    Take a look at this guide from rage3d and you will know what I am talking about. Sorry I didnt post earlier but I fell asleep.

    You're probably hitting the limits for the RAM. Are you sure your core can't go further either?

    Well I'm just of the school of thought that you take these things slowly. BTW here's a new score with a new OC on the cpu (1833, 11x166) and the vpu (309/305[610]) I am one point away from 4000.
