kingdomwinds Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 is it worth getting the 9800 pro or is the 9700 pro fine? I heard that there is only litttle difference between the two. i can save $70 by getting the 9700 pro. also what are the best drivers for ati? When i get the 9700 pro it will not come with any installation cds because its OEM. But the i can still install it with the drivers right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 This should help you But its a bit slow. The latest ATI drivers are 3.10, get it at http://www.guru3d.com or http://www.ati.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I have a 9800 Pro and I can't recommend it highly enough Top card, and I hear from many reliable sources it's well worth getting over the 9700 Pro. Alternatively you could just get a 9800 regular, and soft mod it to a Pro But, the best thing to do is read a load of reviews, and see what the "vibe" is on hardware sites before you make a purchase.

I'm with him. My games run smoothly, and I haven't had any problems with 9800 Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 In case you haven'y seen the benchmarks, the 9800 pro is only 10-15 more FPS than the 9700 Pro. :/ I have the AIW 9700 Pro, with the Catalyst 3.10 drivers, and it plays anthing very well.

Depends which benchies you read, and what games you're playing When the next gen games start to come out, you'll be wanting a 9800 Pro over a 9700 Pro, for sure...

Lindsey Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Get the 9700 pro, best card right now. Great for making Jedi Academy films I only spend 400 for the card, but it was well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
