9800 NON-Pro what does it says in Device Manager?
It's a known driver 'issue' but not really incorrect (can't remember a link,
but it's on Radeon forums everywhere), a non-pro is hardware identical except for clock speeds and the rating of the RAM. Your default clock speed is the way to tell if it's a non-pro. BTW, what do you think of the card? I'll be getting a 9800 non-pro shortly. meshJ "J" wrote in message ... I have a machine with a 9800 Non-Pro. In the device manager it read: "9800 series". After i upgraded to WinXPPro and Catalyst 3.7 drivers it now says: "9800 Pro"? The speed is set to 325/294,25 = Non-Pro, but I have no problem what so ever running the card at 378/340 via Rage3D Tweak? Question to you 9800 Non-Pro owners: Can someone with a 9800 Non-Pro card please answer what your device manager reads?! / J |

BTW, what do you think of the card? I'll be getting a 9800 non-pro
shortly. Let me put it this way: I was accused of cheating on my regular TFC server right after I got the card The 9800 is actually too powerful for Half-Life, I had to turn all the settings down. -M -- http://www.joinarnold.com http://www.saveourlicense.com "meshJ" wrote in message ...

Should be a nice change from my *ahem* geforce2 32MB.
Got me thinking about old games which I play quite a bit, what sort of probs are you seeing and is it the card clock speed settings you turn down? OT I know but I'll start a new thread now. meshJ "Mike B" wrote in message . .. BTW, what do you think of the card? I'll be getting a 9800 non-pro shortly.

My 9800 non pro was shown in the device manager as a 9800 series card until
I flashed the bios with the pro bios. After that, XP detected the card as a pro card and it is now in the device manager as a 9800 Pro. JK "Wayne Youngman" wrote in message ...

LOL do what ther rest of us have hehe. Over in the Rage3d forum "Tweakers
Tweaking & Overclocking " (think thats right) there is a thread over 20 pages long on how if you have Samsung memory 3.3 on the card to simply flash it with the pro bios there is a link to and Viola you have a pro running at pro speeds. If its go infinion(read inferior) memory then you wont be as happy with the flash. Also if your card uses 2.8 mem instead of 3.3 most have said better just to OC and not flash those. Read this thread and decide for self, heres a linkto it hopefully wordwrap wount break it but if does just cut n paste it all into browser window: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthre...0&pagenumber=1 If you do it I HIGHLY recommend backingup the old bios first , that info is also in the thread Cheers Just Jess (one very happy Nvidia-ATI convert) "meshJ" wrote in message ...
