9800pr0 vs 7800GT

the upgrade youll see will be phenomenal...its gonna look so good itll make you think you were blind until then :p
 
That's a pretty big jump. 9800Pro is about the same as a 6600GT.
 
Awe man, you guys are getting me pumped now...I really didn't think there would be that much of a differnce. I thought maybe 10-25 fps better and what not hehe. :D

Whats the next best card down from the 7800GT? I ask cause maybe the GT is overkill for my css, far cry, fear, etc gaming hehe.
Ty all!
 
besides more fps, you will also see visual differences. more pixel pipelines, shaders, etc etc...
 
You'll also be able to pump up AA and AF. My roommate and I both play Battlefield 2; he has a 6800GT and I have a 7800GTX. When he watches me play on my computer he always says "god damn dude, it looks so real!" And that's coming from a guy who has a card twice as fast as your 9800 Pro already. :rolleyes:
 
Yes, not to mention you will have a DX9 capable card ready for Visa for enabling the 3D deskotp. That card is a huge leap above a 9800 Pro.

9800pro is DX9 capable ;) But yeh, Coffee33 you'll see a massive difference. Enjoy :cool:
 
you'll be able to get more dates. Eat more and not gain weight and ace every test without studying :D

Then there's the quality and framerates the sucker be putting out :D

1) 9800 pro is DX9
2) Its VISTA, Visa is a credit card
3) Its DX10 not dx9 for Vista
 
6800GT/Ultra about doubles a 9800Pro, and then a 7800GT/X is about equal to a pair of 6800's in SLI- call it double. By the commutative (or is it transitive) property, a 7800 is about four times more powerful than a 9800.
 
Well to help you I had the 9700pro and got a 6800Ultra last year. It was like i didn't think my 9700 was all that bad untill i played on the Ultra...i could run most games i was playing at 1600x1200 and have AA and AF on reasonably high levels...with my old card i never hit anything over 1280x1024 with no AA.

Now the 7800GT is even fast and a better card than the 6800Ultra. So i'd say it might be the best thing to ever happen to your computer.


As soon as i'm done with my current computer i'll have 7800GT in SLI...Which will be... fucking awesome.
 
You'll definitely see a difference :p
Heck, I just moved from a 9800 Pro for an OC'ed X800GTO (12-pipes) and it's already a huge jump in performance.
 
U will see a HUGE jump in preformance from the 9800 to a 7800, i'd say almost a 50% increase or more. If your playing fear too then your gonna need those extra horsies from the 7800, that game is pretty tough on the system
 
yeah fear is really hard on systems...I was using a 6800ultra and couldn't run anything over 1024x768 well...

i can't even think about that on a 9800pro.

I run FEAR at 1280x1024 on a 6600GT (soft shadows off, AA off, AF 8x). Are you sure the video card was to blame for your speed issues?
 
I run everything max for game settings, with min AA and 8xAF.

I'd have to try 1600x1200 next...got an LCD. Only works well with certain resoultions.
 
I went from a 9800pro to an X1800XL (ATi equivalent card)

and it was HUGE.

Biggest increase I've seen since going from a GF1 to a GF4.
 
Running FEAR on a X800GTO (@ 590/555, 12-pipes) smoothly at 1280x1024 w/2x AA, 16x AF, everything max except soft shadows.
 
this is a ludicrous comparison, dual core+7800GT is in an entirely different league compared to what you are used to on more than one level
 
I run 9700pro atm, It gets ok marks on 1024x768 in css(60fps) but once you crank up the texture details/aa it starts to get choppy. BTW I'm using an oc'ed amd 2.6ghz with 1 gig of ram.

My roomate on the otherhand have a x800xl, which is less than a 7800gt by quite a bit. And he can run 1280x1024 with all the effects turned on(resoultion limited by his monitor). So its quite a big jump. He even uses a lesser cpu(1.8ghz non oc-ed venice 3000+)
 
9800pro to 7800GT you will see a huge increase especially with your machine upgrade not to mention you will have better IQ with the Nvidia 7800 GT.

Have fun with your new gear!
 
yeah i had a 9800pro about three years back lol. then i got an x800pro.......now i have a 6800gt pci express. so yeah big difference between 9800 pro and 7800gt.

Sorry...IQ?
 
oh man.. i hear you actually. i'm doing the exact same change.. from a sapphire ATi 9800 pro/1024mb/p4 2.4ghz/CRT to a eVGA 7800GT/2084 OCZ ram/amd x2 4200+/ViewSonic VX924 LCD... I cannot wait :D

Didn't realize a 6600GT = 9800pro

6600GT is a little better overall. It has a high core clockspeed compared to the 9800Pro, but the 9800Pro has a 256-bit memory bus compared to the 6600GT's 128-bit.
 
That's the same upgrade i did, ATi 9800Pro @ XT speeds to a eVGA 7800GT....insanely huge performance increase, they're not even on the same chart.
