Nodgiles Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Well as some of you might know my 9800pro is shot to hell. Im in need of a new video card and am looking for some expert advice. I will be overclocking the card so Im looking for something with potential. my budget is about 200-250us. The one Im leaning twords at the moment is this http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16814121519 I like the looks of it because aparently you can unlock the 4 disabled pipes and easly flash it to an XT. lemme know what you think.

E Fudd Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Spring for it - a Saphire X800Plat. Or if you can find one a Gigabyte model Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolMaster Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 no no, the differance between the x800 and the x800plat 546429[/snapback] I would say it would be "noticeable" at least, i'd go for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodgiles Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Well I went with my choice for a couple reasons. For one, the Saphire X800Plat is almost $200 more than the Asus X800Pro. My other reasoning behind it is beacuse with the addition of an actic cooler I can easly flash the Asus X800pro to XT speeds. Thanks for your suggestions.
