I bought 9800 np from newegg. $173
when i installed it it says its 9800 pro.
even riva tuner says its 9800pro.
is there anyway to find out whether its pro or np by looking at stickers on the card?

Do me a favor and download ATI tool off the internet. Just do a search for it. Load the program and start it. I will show you the core clock speed and mem speed. Post what they are on this site and I will tell you what card you have.

324.00 core
290.25 memory

What is artifacts?
What will be the optimum core/memory speed for me?

Definately a non-pro. Artifacts are graphical errors caused by your video card trying to run faster than it can. The optimum core/memory clocks will be whatever is highest and stable (no artifacting).
