Unlock Bios for OC

[kahchye]

Hello guys. I'm still wondering how to unlock my bios settings to overclock my Sapphire 9500 pro. Is it true that if you use powerstrip, you don't have to unlock ur bios or anything? I've checked rage3d without any articles on it. Any sites in which i can look into?

Btw, i ran 3dmark 2001 SE, with direct3d and opengl set to 'high performace' (under Display>Advance), adjust double buffer, no anti aliasing, 1024 * 720 (in 3dmark01) and got around 10000 points. with 4x anti aliasing and triple buffer at 1600 * 1024, i got around 7000. Is it correct? My system spec is AMD XP 1800, 512 DDR, asus motherboad, sapphire radeon 9500 pro, everything not overclocked.



I'm for the UNDERDOGS!

Go to the rage3d site and look for the post by warp11 covering the unlocking of the bios. Powerstrip will no overclock this card without a bios swap.

I have a P4 2.53 with 1G DDR400 memory. I was getting 11,900 on highest quality settings and 11,983 on highest performance settings, so your numbers are probably right.
