I still remember trying to flash my 9600 bios to a 9800 because some were able to that. Unfortunately I didn’t have one of the lucky models that could do so.
- gattilorenz 3y agoWait, why would you want to do that? I still have my 9800 :)
- sgtnoodle 3y agoI think they were trying to modify their 9600 to think it was a 9800.
- gattilorenz 3y agoHah, that explains it, thanks. I remember of people flashing the Radeons to get them to work on Mac, but I didn’t know this detail.

- alexgaribay 3y agoFrom what I remember, some 9600s had the same hardware as a 9800 but had features/processors disabled from the card BIOS. Those could be unlocked with the right BIOS.
