I was traumatized several years ago by a Radeon 7500, at night I would wake up screaming because none of my favorite games would work well with the card, I don't care whose fault it was, but NVidia made it all better, and I've been twitch-free for a couple years.
My latest card, the FX 5600 Ultra has been a good little workhorse, but the problem is I have been at ti4200 Ultra speeds since before that when I had a ti. Doom 3, and moreso... EQ2(beta) are painful to play. So it's time to upgrade.
When I upgrade I usually come to OCforums and cram a ton of info into my head then make a decision... after finding this card in a link on one of the posts here, I put my fears in a deep dark place and purchased this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-131-247&depa=1
PowerColor 9800 Pro
128mb
256bit
This is a big step for me, I've really been an NVidia guy for many years but the benchmarks and price and possibility of making this an XT on the cheap can't be beat! My question is... has anyone had personal experiences with this card by PowerColor? Specifically, will this be softmod-able?
I need some framerate badly, lets hope this works out! I'll let you guys know... I'm running benchmarks till the thing comes sometime in the next couple days.
