The reason the 9800se is priced lower is b/c it has 4 pipelines compared to the 9800 pro that has 8. The 9800 se 256 bit can be softmodded to open up those extra 4 pipelines, but the chances arent 100%. If you can open up those 4 remaining pipelines, it should preform almost as a 9800 pro.

It WILL be a 9800 pro.

It WILL be a 9800 pro.


In theory...lol. Lately people have been opening up the extra pipelines and it still doesnt get the scores a 9800 pro would get in 3dmark.. Thats what I've been seeing on these forums.
