Hey guys,
I have an odd question.

My AIW 9800 Pro is not showing up in xp as a pro. Just a 9800 Radeon Series.
My clock is at 400 and my ram is at 300..
Shouldn't it say Pro somewhere and shouldn't the ram be a little faster?
I ran 3dmark 2003 and got 5071 at 1024 at 32bpp.
I could swear this thing should be faster.

Thanks!

My 9600 Pro is also showing as a 9600 series so I thought that yours was
probably right. However while looking for you I spotted an 'additional'
display adaptor! A "9600 Series - Secondary".

Took a look at properties and the system (Win XP Pro) thinks its a PCI card
in slot 7. This led me to look at properties for the "9600 Series" and that
is also in PCI slot 7. Its obviously an AGP card (running at 8x according
to bios and smartgart) so what gives? Any ideas anyone? Is this affecting
anything (seems to run OK)?

Many thanks, Shawk.

Many thanks, Shawk

Damn. I get 5000, in 3DM03 when I overclock my 9700np to pro speeds.

BTW - you asked about mem speeds - the 9600 Pro is also clocked at 400/300.

I noticed the same thing with some alarm after upgrading from Cat 3.4 to 3.5
just after getting my 9800 Pro a while back and then found some posts which
explained it - basically it's a second driver for the secondary display that
your Radeon can output to. Perfectly normal.

Cheers Sparky - worried for a while :-)
 
Wow..6 posts and no one answered my question. lol..

Anyone have an answer to why this shows up as a 9800 series rather than a
pro?
What should my ram and core freq be?

is 5071 about right for the number on 3d mark 03 on a athlon xp 1800?
 
Mine shows up as a 9800 series as well. Clock speed is 378 and memory is at
337. I get about 5200 in 3Dmark03....
