Did I get ripped off on my Video Card???

[kadu1669]

About one month ago I bought an ATI 9600 xt (Bought it off Ebay by the way). The cpu core speed is supposed to be 500 mhz and the memory speed is supposed to be 600 mhz. If I go into the video setting it will say 9600 xt. I never been into overclocking, besides my machines are all so crappy I don't think it would improve much. Well I decided to look into it and I downloaded rivatuner before finding out it was for Nvidia not ATI and then I downloaded ATItool. On riva tuner I did however ask for it to detetct clock speeds and core was 398 mhz and memory 202 mhz. and later when I used ATItool it shows the same speeds as my default speed. Is there something I don't know about and the clock speeds are correct or did I get ripped off by purchasing some crappy card with a 9600 pro chip that says 9600xt on it. (card was not built by ATI by the way... don't remember name right now but some crappy third party company). Please advise... Thank you.

edit: I only noticed minor improvements from a 9200se.

No luck huh? Look basically what I'm trying to figure out is this. Lets say you have a 9000 xt. Specs say core is 412 Mhz and memory is 730 Mhz. If you run ATI tool, is ATItool going to show that your Core speed is 412 and memory speed is 730 or not? Help me out here guys so I can figure out if I should try to get my money back.
