New 9800 Pro

[Augustus]

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.....

Nice, muchos power in 9800 Pro cards, and the X800 even comes with more
power... wow..what must we do with all that power!

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

I paid $220 Cdn...about $155US.

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.

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?)

What the hell? Sapphire produces both 256-bit and 128-bit versions with
accordingly different pricing levels. The company is not intentionally
trying to scam you
