Finding out your GPU specs

[ReWolf]

i want to flash my bios an soup up my ATI 9550, but all i know that it is a sappire ATI 9550. could anyone tell me how to find out the memory and all taht, and especialy waht 'core'memory' its got. i know these are probably stupid questions, but could anyone help? (btw, im running win98 here, but will be upgrading to XP in the new year). tanks y'all!

on the card? u can tell wat memories it uses by looking at the memories on the card it self, i belive its samsung 5ns chips on those sapphire cards.. or if u want to know wat speeds they operate at just install atitool and have a look

ok, but bear in mind that im runing win98, so is there any way of finding out the speed a different way (ie, a way not requiring ATI Tool/Win XP)? but anyway, thanks for that.

Do you not even know who makes the card?
Have you overclocked it or do you want to know the frequencies it comes at?
If you want to know default frequencies see what frequencies some of the bioses in the bios database on this site come at.


Yay 50th post 3rd star for me

what do you mean, 'do you not even know who makes the card?'?? its a sapphire ati 9550. what more is there to it? i just need to know what i need to know to flash it with a new bios so it'll run btr.

Sapphire is what i wanted to know. Sapphire 9550s come at 250Mhz core and 200Mhz memory according to the bioses in the database.

take the card out of the system and look at it! you can tell what the memory JUST BY looking at the memory. There's a product code on the memory.

Oooooh ok. kool. i geddit now. thanks

He wants to know what frequency it runs at rather than what type of memory it is.
It is almost certainly samsung 5.0ns if you do want to know.
