New 9800 Pro
Got my almost new Retail ATI 9800 Pro 128Mb today....I'm very
impressed.....Barton 3200 / Nforce2 / 1 Gig Dual Channel...gets 5877 3DMark03 and 17,847 in 3DMark01 at the default 380/680. Guy who sold it to me complained "it wasn't fast enough for me".....and he had it installed on a Palomino XP1900! Oh well, his loss is my gain..... |

Now overclock it... Memory should go to at least 700 Mhz. :-)

As per request this is the results of my 415 / 720 overclock: 3dMark03: 6092 3dMark01: 17, 992 Seems quite stable. Did 3 runs of each bench at this clock rate without any artifacting or lockups/reboots. |

same here - ebayed mine for $300au ($140us) including postage - the 9800Pro
is an excellent card (Ive moved over from nVidia) - the only thing which annoys me of the card is the absence of 'digital vibrancy' setting which most nVidia cards have. ATI needs this, it makes so much of a difference. "Augustus" wrote in message news:V11zc.1711$eA.517@clgrps13... "bp" wrote in message ...

I just got a new retail ATI 9800 Pro which is nicely replacing my tired old
9500 pro and I will stick with it until I get a whole new computer using the pci express format. This 9800 will be my last agp card and I am happy with it. Thank god I read these forums and found out about those sapphire 128 bit versions. I will never buy their product now. |

Er... his CPU is becoming a bottleneck.... er... the 9800Pro is/was the top 2-3 cards on the market... The X800Pros are CPU limited with 3Ghz P4s.... Only a 64bit CPU can really give the X800 the juice it needs. Your gain.... - - - - - Remember: In the USA - it is dangeroud to draw or write about Heir Bush in a negative way. The police or SS are called, people threaten to kill you. (What country is this again?) - 15yr old boy in Washington was disciplined for drawing such images. - White House blows cover of an undercover agent because her husband said there were no WMD (before the USA started the war) - her job was finding terrorist. (This makes sense?) God bless the land of the free. Where you can burn the Constitution... Ashcroft does it every day. |
