Radeon 9800 Pro 128: Is it worth the upgrade?

by Gr8ful Gr8ful is a Lead on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 08 '04
Pros: Fast frame rate. 128MB DDR. Compares well with NVIDIA 5900FX.
Cons: Somewhat expensive but you get what you pay for.
“Hooray! It’s here!” Finally after 10 days and $204.79, my new Radeon 9800 Pro 128 video card finally arrived. Now all I had to do was install it and explain to my wife why this card was worth two hundred bucks. The first part was easier ...

It's Getting Hot In Here: Upgrades, PCIx, and Shifting Video Cards

by zero_ Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 15 '04
Pros: Fast, fast, fast, and with the latest price drop, cheap!
Cons: Power hungry - Requires a good motherboard and power supply.
Cripes, this review got old. PCI-E is here and going strong, having turned into a better value for the money, performancewise, than AGP is anymore. And they settled on calling it "PCI-E" instead of "PCI-X" so as to minimize confusion with the old and ...

by Techdude49 , Oct 31 '03
Pros: Excellent accessories, Fast, Quality Components, Good Drivers (finally!!!), DX9 Compatibility, Easy to Overclock
Cons: Can get very hot, expensive
I just picked this card up at BestBuy for $299 (includes a $50 rebate) to replace my Radeon 9500 Pro 128MB. I've used the 9800 Pro for the past week and here are my observations. Introduction This is one serious card! Check out all the gaming site ...

It worth the money. Oh is it worth the money.

by steakphish , Jan 02 '04
Pros: Sizzling performance, great image quality, still competetive.
Cons: Sizzling your computer, still a bit pricy.
I managed to get my grubby little hands on ATI's second most powerful card on the market, the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO. Recently, ATI came out with a $500 Radeon XT card which offers slightly more performance for $200 more than the 9800 PRO, which is a ...

King of the hill in graphics cards.

by kweckstrom Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 19 '03
Pros: Fast, driver team very proactive, quiet
Cons: Expensive, but hey - it's the best!
I've been building my own PC's for a long time. I typically standardize on the best components money can buy. While speed is important to me, stability is paramount. In the past, ATI has had a lot of issues with driver stability in their products, and tha ...

Fastest GPU available

by subseb , Feb 21 '04
Pros: Amazing performance. Good value compared to Nvidia. Quiet cooling solution. Only uses one slot space.
Cons: Requires Molex plug (adapter supplied). Physically large (long) card can obstruct motherboard devices. Shop around.
I bought this card to replace my Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB, I only bought the 9000 last year however this was at the budget end of the market and I did not expect much for £60. Suffice to say the 900 Pro suffered greatly with later games and does not support ...

Spectacular Card

by gibtde , Jul 12 '04
Pros: Fast, Quiet, Great Warrenty and RMA
Cons: Poor Linux Support, requires a odd power connector for fan
I purchased my Radeon 9800 from a somewhat questionable online dealer. I paid for the card as if it were new, but the card wasn't. Nonetheless I used the card and didn't RMA because the performance was astounding. To give you a idea of how powerfull ...

Not THAT GOOD.

by bt_tony , Apr 07 '04
Pros: Good for the its price. Graphics improve. Much faster than older models.
Cons: Over heats. Requires high power source. Clock speed still mid range. FPS drop constantly.
Let me start by giving you my own PC spects. I have 1G of RAM, P4 3.0 basically, the works. Now, the ATI RADEON 9800 PRO, this card is good, but not that good, first of all, it requires a power supply of at least 300 and it over heats a lot, if you wanna ...

9800 Pro 128 in the upper echelon of performance video cards

by brandxsavior , May 21 '04
Pros: Screaming fast; best in cost/performance ratio (IMO)
Cons: Runs pretty hot; requires an additional Molex plug for power (a splitter cable is provided)
I’d been hoping to see the price of this card go down in light of ATI's recent announcement of the 9800's successor; the x800. Sure enough, I found a great price at Fry's 1-Day Anniversary Sale on this card. The 9800 Pro 128 is definitely a top of ...

Mine WAS sitting in my closet.

by mfarris2 , May 20 '03
Pros: Is really fast
Cons: Only stable with 8X AGP boards.
First let me say I am NOT a gamer. However I do like to have top quality components in my computers. I started building computers about five years ago for myself and many of my friends. I like to know that I am getting good components in my computers. ...

A quaint review from a completely satisfied ATI customer.

by qbprogger , Jan 15 '04
Pros: Easy installation, nice bold warnings telling you what to remember, and extremely fast product.
Cons: Buy this card and you won't be able to stop yourself from buying games.
Due to my status as a complete ATI fanatic, I must not write this review in a serious manner. I apologize in advance if I have offended anyone, but I insist on expressing my true feelings in this completely honest, heart-felt review. READER ...

Some Ups and Downs, But a Great Card Overall

by squiffy_ca , May 15 '04
Pros: DirectX9 compatable ... Bump mapping, pixel shading, etc, etc ... Incredibly smooth graphics
Cons: Power supply issue
I've had my 9800 Pro for about a month and a half now, and I am very pleased with it. The graphics quality is a lot higher than it was with my old Geforce card, and I can run many games with options cranked where my Geforce would crawl. Ever try running ...
