why no 9800 pics and more importantly...benches

timmyqwest · Mar 1, 2003

...maybe i'm just out of it?

funnyperson1 · Mar 1, 2003

it hasnt been released yet? actually there was a pic a little while ago comparing an R300 to 9800 and there wasnt much difference

Darkseid · Mar 1, 2003

i saw a pic of the 9800 is like the 9700pro but with a molex connector, no a floppy one, and the 9600 (rv350) didn't have one at all

hmm, rv350 is going to have both 8 pipelines and 256 bit memory right??? but just lower clock speeds opposed to r9700...

Stumpjumper5200 · Mar 2, 2003

Who knows, ATI hasn't released any definate details about it yet.

breez · Mar 2, 2003

RV350 is probably 4 pipes and definitely 128bit memorybus. Clockspeeds higher than 9700Pro. And because of lower transistor count and 0.13 process it probably overclocks like crazy

when is this card due out? and what are the prices going to look like. and can someone give me some specs of what they think its going to be like.

breez · Mar 2, 2003

Release next week

baqai · Mar 2, 2003

can't wait for the prices of 9700 pro to drop

i doubt i will be able to buy 9800 as new products are normally have a prize tag i can't afford

Stumpjumper5200 · Mar 2, 2003

My Goal:

Get a 9900Pro (Yeah, the 256MB one

)
Heatsink mod
500MHz core

That would be sweet

Literatii · Mar 2, 2003

I don't think the 9800 is due out until April.

9600 is this week IIRC.

Overclocker550 · Mar 2, 2003

the 9800 pro will have a 256 bit memory bus, be clocked at 375/800

Yep... dang nice

Stumpjumper5200 · Mar 2, 2003

Where did you hear that from? Have the clockspeeds been totally figured out, and annonced by ATI?

So far, I've heard the memory will be about 375MHz (DDR750), but 800 would sure be nice. 400MHz on the core would be great too, I think they might need it if they want that 40% increase....but who knows. Guess we'll all find out soon enough.

Just get me a release date for the 256MB version and I'm there

Overclocker550 · Mar 2, 2003

I wont speculate on pricing this time, but how much are you willing to pay anyway? also your cpu might actually bottleneck such a fast card

youd want over 3GHz

snyper1982 · Mar 2, 2003

i think it will be 350-400 for the 9800, 400-450 for the 9900.

Stumpjumper5200 · Mar 2, 2003

I'm ok with prices as long as it doesn't get stupid (over $500).

I'm not worried about bottlenecks, since some of us actually use AA and AF. And I think my system is fast enough not to bottleneck the card with detail settings that high.

Overclocker550 · Mar 2, 2003

before you buy that card, read all the reviews. if a 3.5GHz cpu scores better in high res, max details than a 2.8GHz, dont buy it!

snyper1982 · Mar 2, 2003

and why not oc550? most often a faster processor will score better. you most of the time make no sense overclocker. and 3.5 is almost 1 ghz faster than 2.8. sheesh man.

Stumpjumper5200 · Mar 2, 2003

Dude..........who cares? To me it's more speed, I don't care if it gets any kind of bottleneck. And of course, bragging rights.
