9800 pro vs 9700 pro

[Just Wondering]

Differences between these cards noticeable?

Not apart from clock speeds and a slight tweaking of shaders. Not worth the
extra anyway.....

To me, just speed. I have, 9800pro, 9800np, 9700np...

The image quality seems indistiguishable...

Thanks to enhancements, the 9800pro/np can be slightly faster than the
9700pro/np at the same clock speeds, but in practice...

The difference is slight.

However, I have my 9800pro 380/340 @ 409/360, so it blows away my 9800np
325/290 ( slow infineon memory - some non pros use the same memory as
pros... Just flash the bios for a pro! ) @ 378/329, which kills my 9700np
275/270 @ 340/297...

Even so, the 9700np is still so fast!

Not worth the money if you're thinking of upgrading.

Unless FSAA is in use, in which case the 9800 can pull out a bit of a
lead on the 9700.
