Howdy,
I recently aquired a 9600XT for V-Day from my G/F, and this thing has been stumping me since I installed it yesterday. First of all, it has absolutely no brand on the PCB at all! The only identification is a "powered by ATi" sticker on the HSF fan, and a white sticker on the back that identifies the card as a 128mb 9600XT. The PCB is red. It came in a generic Radeon box with the type of card identified in checkboxes on the side. So anyways, at this point I installed it, and checked it's info. First thing that caught my eye was it's 324/203 clock. That's quite a big underclock. However, ATiTool lists the GPU as being an RV360, and as far as know those are only found on 9600XT's. However RaBit only identifies it as an RV350. Also, the RAM is AGM, which I've only been able to find on 9550's. I think the card is made by HIS from the subvendor ID, but cannot find a match on their website (though their PCBs look similar to mine). Lastly, the mounting holes for the HSF are not the standard ATi placement (they look more like nVidia's layout), and I have yet to find another 9600 that has this hole layout. The mounting holes are more diagonal than with other 9600's. I wanna know if this is truly a 9600XT or some other card passed off as one. I can always pull the HSF off to see what the GPU actually is, but I don't want to do that unless I have too.
Card info:

Device ID 4152
Vendor 1002
Subsystem ID 2B10
Subsystem Vendor ID 1787
Bus Type AGP

Any help would be truly appreciated!
