Sapphire Ati Radeon 9800pro?????

CreePinG_DeatH · 07-25-04, 03:07 PM

Are these cards any good? I was looking at one of the OEM ones. Can they be modded easily? As in flashed with better specs etc?

Quattro · 07-25-04, 03:08 PM

Yeah they a bloody good!
I love mine, mine does something like 360/380 I think..

HousERaT · 07-25-04, 03:17 PM

just make sure you get the one thats 256bit. If you're lucky enough to get one with the xt pcb and the r360 core you can turn your pro into one of these.....

HousERaT · 07-25-04, 04:07 PM

Yeah... it refers to the actually board... there are a few different ones for 9800pros.... the one everyone wants right now is with an xt layout with xt chips.....

Yeah sapphires are the next best thing next to made by ATi for reliability and price, mine came with R360 core and samsung memory, used to clock to 425/370, now with my VGA silencer, and the ram sinks i get 435/410... yet i beleive i can get the core higher once my arctic silver cooks, and the fact that its been about 90 degrees F around here latly.

Fantastic card, I have the 128mb version it does 418/368 on stock cooling, still wary about flashing it tho, not sure if it's a r350 or an r360, as its new i don't want to take the heatsink off just yet.

but anyhoo's this card kicks butt...

No problem, thanks for the welcome.

Got a BBA 9800 pro for $157 at Best Buy yesterday. Nice card. Hopefully R360 core *crosses fingers*.
