Hello,
I bought an OEM Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and it came with those Hynix chips (maybe hyundai, dunno). I know that the retail 9800 Pro usually comes with the samsung chips which are supposed to be better and sells for more on these forums due to that.
Aside from an overclocking standpoint, what is the main difference? My 9800 Pro just performs as it should so I wonder if I have to worry. Do ATi uses samsung chip to differentiate their cards from the card made by their "partners"?
As far as I can tell, I have seen that the chips I have are rated 2.8ns. I know that there is some 3.3ns that people do not like to get (overclock wise).
LMK
