Radeo9800 vs pro version, diffrences and performance lvl

[Bratboy]

Okay is the main diff just the clocks and if so how well does the np OC (can
it get close to Pro's clocks). Im asking as Im being sent a 9800 np and it
will be replacing my gf3 which is still working and kinda curuous as to what
to expect. All the reviews Ive found talk about the pro card so havent
really found a chart to show how big performance diff tween pro & Non pro.
Thx in Advance

Hi,
the Radeon 9800np looks to be a great card and depending on which memory you
get on it, can overclock like a champ!. As far as I know the 9800np and the
9800Pro are almost the same, just the 9800Pro has slightly faster ram which
has ramsinks!. My Sapphire 9800 Atlantis has 3.3ns Samsung (I think you can
get 3ns and 2.8ns Samsung memchips also if you are lucky). Check the links
below watch the wraps), from what I read about the 9800np it should have no
trouble beating a stock clocked Pro version!
