Is anybody running a 9800pro with Cats newer than 7.8 ? When the 7.9 came out I tried them but it kept failing the Direct3D test in dxdiag so had to roll back. I tried 7.11 tonight and they still fail the D3D test. I have a sapphire 128MB 9800pro. Is the 7.8 Cat the limit for these cards ?

Which is better, the 9700 pro or the 9800 non pro at standard speeds ? Which is the more overclockable ? Thanks.

I have a 128MB Sapphire 9800pro. I've been using the cat 3.7 for years now. Although its stable, the performance is lacking for newer games. Today I tried the Omega 6.5 drivers. Benching Doom3 I gained an extra 9fps and 3dmark03 I gained 300 points. However I found the text in Windows not as sharp...

What's the difference between the OEM and Retail versions? The clock speed is slower on the OEM? @drian.

The video display (actually, Windows XP) just froze on my system. I was composing an e-mail at the time, doing nothing graphics intensive. It froze for 20 seconds and came back in 640x480 mode, telling me: "Microsoft Windows detected and recovered from a device failure. Please save your work...

Has anyone sold their 9700 Pro to upgrade to a 9800 Pro? I was considering upgrading to a 9800 Pro so I don't have to upgrade early next year. Only problem is, from the articles I read, the performance doesn't seem that much of an improvement over the 9700 Pro card. Second hand, I'd probably get...

Is the 8500DV the one with the TV tuner? If so, from what I remember, that TV tuner is the culprit of heat. The TV tuner on that model is digital and heats up so bad, it can't be touched with a finger. @drian.

Hi all I have been wondering whether or not it is worth going from a GF4 Ti4400 to a Radeon 9600 Pro. I have read lots of reviews and they generally have the same results. That is, with no AA or AF, the GF4 would be ahead in most cases. However once turned on, the 9600 Pro leaps ahead. Another...

Are you putting the card on it's own power source ... ie nothing else hanging off it. Do you have enough power to do the job: http://tinyurl.com/24zoz regards @ndrew

Interesting when I installed the Cat 4.4s on my 9800 Pro no problems .... they bench a little slower than the 4.2 or 4.3s but they are solid. Installed the new drivers on my second machine with a 9600XT same settings as the 9800 except with fast writes turned on ... the card locked the screen in...

Chris, Look at the posts on DirectX9b with the AIW .. think that may be your problem. regards @ndrew "Chris LeBlanc" wrote in message ... I just picked up the All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro and I seem to be having some

Morning all, I recently got a 9700 pro which is an amazing card and a worthwhile upgrade from my old R7000 Vivo, lol... Anyways, over the weekend I did a clean install and made sure that I installed the AGP bridge for my motherboard so that I could enable 8X AGP mode in smartgart. On previous...

I had to go back to the 4.1's (Omegas) and those work fine. a

Hi all. I just got the Circuit City 9800np for $200. It has a DVI - VGA converter. Along with the standard VGA port, does this mean that I can use two monitors simultaneously? Thanks,

I currently have a Socket A Barton 3000+ with 1gig of 333DDR RAM and a 9800Pro, I'm looking to upgrade the card to at least an X800 XT. The question is do I do it now and buy the AGP version or wait until I'm ready to upgrade the whole lot with a new motherboard and go for the PCI Express version....

The only drivers available on the ATI site are with the CCC, are any non CCC drivers available? What about Omega versions for x64? Jez

I'm currently using a 9800Pro and a 19" CRT. I usually run games at 1600*1200. I'm tempted to buy a 19" TFT, but this has a native resolution of 1280x1024. The question is, will i be under utilising my video card if i buy the TFT? Will i be able to run the TFT higher than 1280x1024, with anti...
