Bought a Pair(mistakenly) of 9600GT's? (G94) no joke...

[Xazax]

I bought a couple GFX (2 of them to be exact) and the guy told me they were 8800GT's, but i cant get the stupid things to work! I bought it from a guy off of Craigslist some browsing around let me to this.

he somehow sold me a friggin 9600GT? G94, no joke i have the GPU-Z to Prove it.

http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/3203/pickc7.jpg

note: Just look at the GPU-Z with a side comparison of a Website's GPU-Z as you can see they are nearly Identical, mine is the 10DE-0621, and hosts 256MB whereas the websites is the the 512mb version of the 9600GT


Not only that but i have 2 right now in SLI. how the hell did this guy obtain a friggin 9600's???????

Update:Heres some more Proof i took this while the computer loads, it comes before the BIO's screen, ill try to take a better pic but as i circle you can make out it says G94

CARDS ARE LEGIT, NOT STOLEN PROPERITY!

The seller is apparently a journalist in Stocklin who recieves such things as to how and why he sold them to me ill ask him sometime but until them i bought them, fair and legit, and they are mine to keep or sell, i HOLD NO NDA RIGHT TO NVIDIA on these pair of 9600GT's

UPDATE TO ALL:


CARDS HAVE BEEN SOLD AND BOTH ARE NO LONGER IN MY POSSESSION.

To whom, well i guess you find out soon lol!

EDIT:SOMEONE IS TRYING TO PASS OF MY CARDS AS HIS OWN(Possibly) there is no way that is me, my Ebay is Marine187 and i removed the items from Ebay yesterday, WHOEVER this is IT IS NOT ME. Most likely a con or scam trying to get in on all the Hype i somewhat generated.

You will see the 9600GTs soon but they wont be mine they will be from a respected tech site who plans on benchmarking and testing them.

btw, use the macro's mode when taking pics, it helps focus up close shots.

Any who, 9600gt 256mb < 8800gt 256mb...so you got ripped.

[ShadowFold]

I still dont belive him, and those shots are blurry like the "NUMBER 13" he probly needs a new camera lol

I wont belive till I see the top of the cooler, the box and other stuff.

[DaMulta]

Take some side shots of the card.


www.techpowerup.org is a good easy way to host pics:)

Even if they do register as 9600's, I bet somebody just flashed a bios on it, and changed the model# string.

How do I go about doing this? Does it hurt anything? Not gonna use this in a bad way btw (like make it say 8800ULTRA, I wanna make it say I have a HD 4970X4 2gb GDDR5 lol)

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

i still call guano ...

[Xazax]

Yea, i was googling for a solution because i couldnt get the Nvida Drivers 169.28 beta ones to work with these cards and found that link with the SAME GPU-Z on it, well not exactly but as you can see from my GPU-Z it is BIOS 64.94..etc and if you look at the EXPview its the same, as well as the 10DE-0621(the 622 indicated its the 512mb verison whereas i got a hold of the 256mb verison)

[Duffman]

ok, i can see now how the one gpuz shot is in a Firefox window...still skeptical

[Solaris17]

doesnt hurt anything you just get a vga bios mod program for example ati's is RaBIT though im not sure rabit supports boot screen mods nibitor does...but it might not work with ati cards...at anyrate its really easy in my case i check a box to enable it and theirs a text box next to that that lets me edit the boot display i type whatever i want and tehn i save the bios flash it to my card and right b4 the system bios post(ram cpu speed etc) i get a black screen with white words that say "Solaris17 G84 mod copywrite 2007"

Yea i know but your guys are missing my point he sold me a friggin 9600GT? he didnt even know what they where FFS, let alone he had two of them.

Needless to say im going to give them back and get my money unless someone wants to buy them off me ^_^

[Duffman]

lol@shadow, your img link doesn't work

[Solaris17]

hmmm i bealive you...i just want a pic of the cards...that would be sick if they really were but at the same time if he just flashed them thats a sad joke and a rip off cause the 8800's u ordered would be more powerfull at anyrate id just flash them back...however i want to know were teh guy who sold tehm to you got his hands on a 9600GT bios.

an 8800GT. Note how the ducting on his is exactly the same as the 9600GT, in the 8800GT pic, the duct doesnt extend down to the PCB as well. Moreover, the rear of the PCB's layout is very different to 8800GTs.

[ShadowFold]

Well i'll be damned :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Dude keep them there about the same as a 8800GT so no need to go thru all the hassle imo.

gotta understand tho.. ive been around tech forums for long time ive seen alot of stuff like this. Sorry for being stubborn lol

[Solaris17]

holy shit dude holy shit keep those!!!!!!!! and he isnt lying though he didnt make a peice of paper with his name look at his orig pictures...its the same exact mobo smae components ...holy shit...keep them dude lol you might not have 2 long to wait for drivers...

[a111087]

+1, that way we will know for sure what GPU he got
he also will need to complain for not receiving 8800gt instead :laugh:

High rez hurtz my eyes!!!!!! :D

[Solaris17]

dual gpu....9600GT's are dual gpu...no 8 series card is dual gpu......and the 7950x2 pcb looks nothing like that even if it were a fake cooler it wouldnt fit...and iv studied the 8 series in the extreme the pcb is like noting iv seen.

[Solaris17]

thats right

[ShadowFold]

That looks like he has two cores :eek: thats insane man.... I cant wait to see benchies

PS mods get rid of all the high resness!! Its hurting my puny 19'' :D

[Xazax]

Yea was nice find ^_^ something interesting and unexpect, i might acutally keep them LOL but sure as hell i want some money back these are good cards but no 8800GT's

[ShadowFold]

You have(might) two 9600GTX2's why would you want your money back thats better :eek:

[Wile E]

Yea was nice find ^_^ something interesting and unexpect, i might acutally keep them LOL but sure as hell i want some money back these are good cards but no 8800GT's
Pop the cooler off to see if they really do have 2 gpus on each card.

[Duffman]

am i the only one who is still skeptical that he wants to get rid of these to get 8800GT's??

[ShadowFold]

Pop the cooler off to see if they really do have 2 gpus on each card.

My mind would esplode if it actually has two cores. But then again I doubt it highly since the 9800GX2 is on two PCB's.

dude it does...look at the pic i highlighted above.

[a111087]

to me it looks like just one core...

[ShadowFold]

Damnit why does it have to be 11:24 :( I gotta go to sleep even tho I really want to see a dual core 9600GT :D

[JrRacinFan]

The only way your going to confirm these is to pop the cooler off and take a pic with your TPU nick in there.

[Wile E]

dude it does...look at the pic i highlighted above.

That doesn't prove it. It points in that direction, but the only way to truly confirm is to pop the cooler. Plus we could get the gpu info as well.

[DaMulta]

Yea was nice find ^_^ something interesting and unexpect, i might acutally keep them LOL but sure as hell i want some money back these are good cards but no 8800GT's

You could ebay them for $$$$ because someone that has mads amount of money would pay to have them first.

Also your not held to a NDA or signed any kind of paper work. I don't see how they could stop you from doing it.

[Duffman]

Just doesn't understand what he may have.

maybe...:wtf:

[a111087]

Sell it to AMD, lol

[Xazax]

OK, ill keep one in the PCI-E slot and pop off the cooler on the other im interested myself i didnt even know these were DUAL GPU's, i wasnt aware, wow this is wack.

Face it, there is no way to get 9600gt and this pcb is 8800gtThen it's a completely new pcb. No other 8800GT pcb looks like that.

I say its a mutated Nvidia card, the must have dumped a litle to much toxic waste on this one, the poor thing.:cry:

[ktr]

Yea, its a 256mb 8800gt. I was looking at the back of 10 8800gt's 256mb PCB, and none where 1:1 same, they had distinctive features, but not exact.

What he has a generic white box 8800gt, possible shipped from some name less Taiwan company.

That is a standard 8800 GT PCB design. The cooler looks exactly like a 9600GT cooler or one of the aftermarket designs with a larger fan for the 8800GT.


Could be a 9600GT, however very doubtful. Unless someones computer was stolen who is in "the know" and parted out, and he just happened to pick a couple of them up. Could be. But highly unlikely.

[ShadowFold]

What if its the new 8800GT? The one that has the lower PCB thing.

[tkpenalty]

This is a real 9600GT, the ICs behind the core have a completely different layout, moreover the edge of the cooler near the PCI-E 6 pin connector is IDENTICAL to the 9600GT that expreview showed us. Moreover as I aformentioned, the cooler's duct reaches down. The memory chip placement is rather irrelevant DaMulta as it is a standard 256bit placement.

It could be one of the following:

- 9600gt (most likely due to bios info in addition to altered PCB & cooling)
- 8800gt with 6 pcb layers
- OR it could just be a regular 8800gt with a flashed bios...

Try using the autofocus feature on your camera. Step back a little and aim the camera right at the core. Then just keep your hand still, let it focus, and snap a picture.

B) Stolen hardware.
C) A huge fubar on someones part in shipping these.

he cant bench it, no drivers exist yet.

So far we have tentative proof of the cards being 9600GT's. we really need better pics tho.

seriously Xazax, you cant take a picture.

put the camera down slowly, and kick it across the floor away from you, if you hold onto it any longer it MIGHT get even more out of focus...

if you really want to keep trying, increase the ambient light by a whole butload, then find the focus ring, and if your not using a SLR, then god help us all.

my phone takes way better pics than that........seriously......tisk tisk
