This card is amazing.. If anybody was looking into it, go for it. It's worth every penny. It makes everything so much faster.

Thumbs down Wtf

Sorry m8, i dissagree with you there. The 9800pro is the best graphics card ive ever had the pleasure of working with and i think that it is very unwise to overclock anything by that level. You do not have the equivalent of a 9800pro because you do not have the right drivers, it may have the same specs but its like having a rolls royce being driven by a 17 year old with a skoda. I'd rather pay that much money for quality graphics that works brilliantly and doesnt take up 2 precious pci slots (thanks a bunch nvidia). SO if anybody is thinking of taking that guys advice and getting a 9600 and overclocking, don't buy a 9800pro preferably with 256mb ddr2 graphics.

I'm saving for the 9800 XT. I'm hoping that by the time I save enough to buy the card, it will go down in price or go on sale.

i just built my computer up and bauht the 9600 pro and i just overclocked like a dfew of u said. I would agree though that u really dont need to pay double the price for a card that u can justoverclock aventually. it comes with all the software and withthe computer im using it works just great and i couldn't be happier with it. I would recommend te 9600pro for the value if u have the money for a 9800pro then just buy a all-in-wonder. www.ati.com click multimedia. great card got to love it!

If you are waiting for HL2, like me...make sure the ATI based card comes with the HL2 coupon.
