Who got the 9600np's at Best Buy?

[Juan Sanchez]

Just curious who here got the 9600np at best buy on Black Friday, and how your OC's went if you attemted it. I got Mine up to 424/526 and ran fantasticly. I basically got a 9600 Pro for $70. Wonder how any of you did. BTW i had to use Omega Drivers to OC it as ATI's driver CLOCKLOCK the 9600np for some bizare reason.

however it's performance ain't that bad, could run COD at 1024*800 with default quality flawlessly.

Just use the Omega drivers I mentioned and it'll OC wonderfully my friend. Well if you got one with Samsung ram as opposed to the ones with ELIXER ram. The elixer ones cant oc (on the ram side of coarse) but the core can go as far as you want. Heck with active cooling I bet I could take this thing to XT speeds !!! (again only on the core)

is there a difference between the 9600, and the 9600 xt?

You mean 9600 pro and XT, 100 MHz increase in core frequency.

Best Buy had 9600 Pro's on their website for $96 but they were sold out by the time I go to em, the XT is replacing the Pro so i guess they did a close out on them or something?

Yea I just bought the 9600 xt and am hoping it will give me thoses seemless graphics. The only game I really play is Star Wars Galaxies and the card I have now does not allow me to max all the graphics settings...
