Great news

Hi guys after a lot of research I managed a good bios update n guess what my 8600gt which was only 16 Stream Processors and 64 bit interface , now has 112 SP`s and 192 bit Interface.

yup yup congrats on figuring out the issue by yourself

i hate how people dont use their brains and post random problems on forums and being spoon feed

Tell us the difference in FPS. That's just as important

Could be.

@OP: Mind posting a GPUZ validated link?

hey! :-( ,my work is genuine

by the way heres the link

Nice work! Well done, but your card's still DDR2, which I think might be a bottle neck.

no, this is really an old 8600gt, and due to the unlock I got a huge performance boost.

How about you run 3dmark06 and post the validation link of your results?

Photochopped or Simply Messed up DeviceID info.

Since when did the G84 have a 192bit bus and anything more than 32 SPs / 4 Rops?
Was that revision 2, 3, 4 or pi ?

The specs posted are G92-like, which is like saying I succesfully moded my HD3850 into an HD4850 by downloading a new BIOS.

Here's a proper GPU-Z for your device (I chose it for it's acronym );

its A2

What ever you think you have don eyou have not the chip even if it is A2 just dosent have the archetecture the screenshots are showing.

One A2 revision review

ok thats it thread closed officially.

Doesn't really matter the source of it, the result is improper reporting of information, so the end result is that the BIOS flash F's up the tool, regardless of motivation or cause, that's what's happening, not growing transistors (how are you going to fit 80 more shaders, more ROP and larger memory controller on the same die without actually taking the chip and re-etching it?). Just like OrangeGator points out what you did is to break the validation software, not enable stuff that wasn't there.

What I didn't pick up initially in your original post is that you have something that is completely out of whack, and I usually pick up with fake 'new unreleased part info' rumours.

How do you have 192bit memory interface with 512MB of VRAM?

If you can't figure out why that doesn't work from a design perspective then you will never understand people's issues with your post/thread.

Which actually confirms no physical changes.

A0 - A1 - A2 = Same design different spins.
B0 - B1 - B2 = Design revision (without base# change [like GF84 -> GF8x]), and thus a REV2 of the product.

Most A2s became the GF8500, not magical transforming G84s that were G92s 'living among us'.

The number usually that comes in between them describes the cut-down of the part with a higher number meaning higher on the 'full feature' list. IIRC the G84 600 was the GT and GTS and the 300 was the GF8500.

Yes, it is now.

Whether or not you purposely made misleading statements in the original thread is not really the issue other than for your own pride, that what you are saying is happening is something that is physically impossible to happen from just a bios flash is the important thing. That you don't recognize the issues people are highlighting to you shows that's you dont' understand what's going on, so your assumptions in the first post and declarations of these huge changes are misleading to n00bs with as little or less knowledge than yourself, thinking they can go out and buy a crap GF8600 and magically turn it into a GF8800GT/GS. That's why you're getting the huge negative reaction to your post, just look at all the early readers amped to find out about this. I'm just sorry I didn't get here sooner.

Don't take it personally, but what you're claiming is incorrect. Could be an honest mistake, but it's a mistake none the less.
