O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 From what others have told me, the XT series has better ram and capable of higher clock speeds than the pros. The XT series has better cooling, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neural Interface Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Although what O(V)eGA_l2el) said is true, The XT has'nt really that much more performance over the 9800Pro, and IMHO dosn't justify the price. The 9800PRO will run HL2 and pretty any other game coming out B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0DE Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 get the pro... always a good idea to get the one right under the best of the best. my current card overclocks higher then the XT... ofcourse th XT will overclock even higher but the price is right for the pro right now..

FanATIc205 Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 get a 9800pro aiw and your set. now if you really want to spend a extra 200bucks get the asus 9800xt. but if you oc your pro to 412core and 365mem youl have a 9800xt with half the ram wich the extra 128 isnt worth it right now and wont beneeded till late next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 hmm why bother with an aiw? If he doesnt need the extra crap he should waste his money on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSticky Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 (edited) I'd consider the XT, but I wouldn't buy the ASUS version. It's overpriced. I picked up the Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800XT 256MB for 475 or so off NewEgg, and it came with Half-Life 2 (even though the advertisement on Newegg said it wouldn't include HL2).

Nuclear Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 I have the Sapphire 9800XT also. Unless you are a benchmarker or want the best possible 3d, I'd save the bucks and pick a 9800Pro. I love my 9800XT, I picked up tons of points on 3DMark and now my games run even smoother, but if I weren't so into gaming and benchmarking, I would've gotten the 9800Pro.

Mist Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 The pro will run anything out there on full gfx (9700 pro does to i believe) so save ur money and dont get the xt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
