I have the same card as 9600 Pro DDR2 - it's running 500MHz without any issues, just like yours.. Lovely card. But mine has got an RV360. 😁

I compared it clocked like that to few cards :

On NV side it's pretty close to 5700 Ultra

Usual GeForce 6600 AGP (non-GT) is a bit slower :

I got the card in the mail and i installed the omega drivers and it works great. I also ran Everest home edition to see if it was 128bit memory interface but what's weird is the card is reporting having 256mb instead on 128mb of ram. I'm also interested in flashing the 9600 bios onto it as discussed on this thread if anyone has advice for doing that. I also have a new cooler i ordered from aliexpress for it but its been stuck in the same place for a few days on tracking so it might have gotten lost in the post.

First, find the operating frequencies for your GPU and memory using RivaTuner before flashing anything. Strictly speaking, they can be set to autorun and not flashed, then in order to pass this card on to descendants in its original form, you will literally not have to take any action.

P.S. I'm just now testing one of my R9600s 256 MB with artifacts he he.

As your card is a DDR2 variant, you'd have to find a fitting BIOS of a 9600 for the same memory. I don't think it's worth the hassle. Perhaps you can edit the BIOS using Rabit https://www.techpowerup.com/download/rabit-bios-editor/ and get your clocks higher, or just use the software route under windows.

If you can get us the markings on the memory ICs (they were barely readable on the pictures) we can tell you if it is 128MB or 256MB. I suspect its the latter.
