Radeon 9800 Pro

Is the 9800 pro worth the 60 dollars more then the 9600xt?

 

Is that canadian, tobagon or american dollars. If the first yes, if the second - hell yes, if the third yes - if you need the extra firepower.

 

wouldn't a better question be is the 9800 pro worth the extra 40 of getting a 9700 pro

 

The XT is only worth it if you what to see higher frames per second while gaming it is a higher clocked version of the pro. It may be worth invesigating the idea of overclocking a pro card yourself just make sure it has a good cooler on the GPU and the RAM you should be able to raise the speed on the RAM and GPU.

 

..........and when you stick the cooler on the ram and the GPU you would get speeds up to the 9800XT........mmmh...........wonder what speeds you would get up to if you stuck that cooler on the 9800XT??????

Yes definitely !!!!! They use two different processors and the 9800 Pro is as good as it gets in video cards (minus the AIW 9800Pro). I think toms hardware had a review and compared them, along with the nVidia. 9800 Pro won in every class
