A converted person...

After years of nVidia finally I decided to switch to ATi

Could someone please tell me if the *Radeon Pro 9800* (128Bit) can run
UT2004 at maximum settings; at 1280x1024 resolution or higher; with not less
than 75 FPS?

Thanks!

The Radeon 9800 pro is a 256 bit card @ 128 bit it is not a pro. I have a
9800 np ( still 256 bit ) and it can run better than 75 fps @ maximum
settings with 1280 x 1024 - depending on how your system is set up...

Nope, I doubt if even an X800 XT or any other card out there would never
drop below 75 fps in UT2K4 at max settings and 1280x1024.
Here are results from a default set of UMark benches run at high quality
settings at 1280x1024 on my 256 bit 9800 Pro. If you're talking about a
128 bit 9800 Pro the results wouldn't be as good. These are done with
the latest, 4.7 based omega drivers

I've had a Radeon 9800 Pro for about three weeks now (Built By ATI,
paid $199) and matched with an upgrade to 1 Gb of RAM (done last week)
I've been incredibly happy with its performance.
From what I've read you should avoid getting any 9800 Pro that only has
a 128 bit bus, they're rip-offs.

Dunno. But the 128bit card is crap (it's the 9800se) - spend the extra on a
256bit card (pro or standard).

You will likely see something like twice the speed in many games, for
something like 10% of the cost.

SO this is not a good card?

Here's some comprehensive testing:

http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...charts-03.html

The "R 9800 Pro" clearly isn't the "R 9800 Pro 256" SO must be the 128 one.

And the R Pro isn't that bad after all compared to the 256 version

According to this document:

The part numbers are different and hence that is a 256bit, 128MB card and
therefore good.

OK, can everybody stop confusing BUS WIDTH in BITS with MEMORY SIZE in
MEGABYTES, please.

I actually ordered it before posting in here! You've made by day...I lost a
bit of sleep last night

Yes, I did mean 128MB Rad PRO not...128 bit BUS.

Sorry for the sleepless night, but you did say 128 bit...

I had a Gigabyte 9800 pro before I broke it ( moving from one pc to
another - I dropped it... Long story, but it got a static shock ). The ATI
9800 np is almost as nice, I burned the rom on it to ATI 9800 pro - the only
difference being the chip voltages - so that I could run the core at stock
9800 pro speed. Some people were lucky enough to get 9800 nps with pro mem
speeds. Eh...
