Was originally thinking of getting a 9600 Pro (Connect 3D or Sapphire) but I
may now stretch to a 9800 (non pro) after reading some reviews, in
particular ones where the 9800 non pro can be overclocked to be almost if
not as good as a 9800 pro. Also some can be flashed with pro bios which
sounds even better.
I understand from reading these reviews though that getting the right ram
chips is important and this seems to be a bit of a lottery... (samsung being
the ones that seem to overclock the best and the faster rated the chips the
better)
I have seen (in the UK) a Connect 3D 9800 for about £215 and a Sapphire 9800
for about £220 - these seem quite good deals to me but am wondering which
one to go for ie. does anyone have any experience as to which ram chips both
these manufacturers ship their cards with?
Not sure if the retail pro's come with any extras (eg. games) - usually the
Sapphire bundles seem better in this respect.
Anyway, hope someone out there can help me?
