jaredalv Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 ok, due to a graduation gift i went out to buy a 9800 non pro i bought it and installed it and using the drivers off the cd and even before i installed them XP found it as a 9800 PRO Sandra finds it as a pro and 3dmark 03-01 find it as a pro without me installing the drivers, i install off the cd and same thing. then i ddloaded the newest drivers and it said i had a 9800 PRO. so is this just a driver issue saying i have a 9800 pro or is it (very wishful thinking) it could actually be a 9800 pro. on 3dmark 01 im getting 16500 to 17000 Non OCd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Well maybe you are lucky and just happen to have a mislabeled 9800 Pro rather than 9800, run dxdiag and check your video information such as driver version, chip, ramdac,etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredalv Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 ok i dloaded rivatuner and when it looked up my clock speeds they were WAY off from the sites given speeds. My engine clock is 380Mhz (normal for 9800 PRO) but my memory speeds were only at 295Mhz compared to the sites listed 680Mhz. any ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy54354 Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 look at the memory. 3.3ns = nonpro card, 2.2ns (i think!) = pro card. Thats the only way u can tell by actual hardware. Software can be tampered with so i wouldnt trust it. But from the looks of it u have a overclocked nonpro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredalv Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 are the memory speeds riva tuner shows multiplied by 2 just like a FSB because mine shows 295 so if it 295x2 it sounds more accurate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
syneze Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Yes it's DDR, so your memory is running at 295x2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inu_Yasha Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 Don't believe anything that software tells you. My 9500 shows up as a 9700 in software and when I pull the extention cable out so its just what software recognizes it as. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
