The R9800 Pro has slightly better framerates, but is also a few $$ more. They both must have 128MB as I can't afford the 256mb model of either.

I want to run Doom 3 and Farcry at reasonable resolutions (High-quality, 10x7or 8x6).

There's also the option of softmodding a R9800SE into a pro. Very cost-effective.

I'm a relative video card noob, so I'm guessing that you can't compare clock speed cross-platform (core/memory speed). So it wouldn't be fair to comparea 375MHz Radeon to a 600Mhz GeForce.
 
600mhz :confused:
The 5900XT is competetion for the 9600XT, and pretty much owns it.
But the 9800 pro is much faster than the XT, even more so with newer games, half life 2 being one of them.
 
i agree with him. i have a 9800pro and a friend of mine has a 5900xt and when we lan ut2k4 my FPS is constantly at least 20-30 more than his.
 
Okay, is there a good chance (upwards of 50%) that I will be able to softmod a Powercolor 9800SE (not a Sapphire) to 9800Pro?
 
i have a 9800pro with the r350 core and i am able to oc this bitch like crazy on air cooling..stock is 380/338 (676 ddr), im at about 445/755 on air!

unless your talking 3dmark 2005, then its the 9600xt that owns the 5900xt... and 5900 ultra... and 5950 ultra. :D :p
 
9800se TYPE2 (256 bit memory) from newegg.com, the sapphire one.. has a great chance of softmodding.

I thought the competition for a 9600xt was the 5700u...and the 5900xt was something between the 9600xt and 9800pro...

could be wrong though...
 
aww crap *&#*%^%^_$&(#()$^#&*^$%*&^$%(&%$(#&. Are all of you telling me I could have saved 20 bucks up and bought the 9800 pro instead? :confused: . ooo boy looks like I should have never upgraded from a 9600xt to a 5900xt. I feel like such an idiot :mad:

5900XT was a responce the 5700 getting its ass kicked by the 9600XT :D
 
Yeah I bought a 5900XT... nothing special. Kinda bleh upgrade from the Ti4600. I mean obviously it's faster, but not by a whopping lot. Main reason, I wanted to play with Linux.
