Got a 9700Pro !!! *does a little dance!!!*

[yukka]

I just bought a 9700pro for £225. im pretty damn happy about it - call of duty is looking totally awesome on it

im about to overclock it - any suggestions about what i should be expecting to hit with it? current is 325 and 310 for memory. just using the stock heatsink but i may get a better one if it makes a major difference .

card if a hercules 3d prophet 9700pro with 128mb. i know that 225 isnt the totally best cheapest price on the planet, but its a better price than the 9800pro (by £40) and i like to be a little retro - been admiring the beauties for 12 months

i have got 380 and 340 so far with the stock cooling

but is that stable with no artifacts? Run 3DMark2001/03 and if its all stable and has no artifacts you have a pretty good OC. I dont think aftermarket cooling will make much of a difference.

you can also test artifacts with your radeon card with the Rendering with Natural Light Demo on your Catalyst CD.

Cool, I love my 9700 pro. A very good buy IMHO. unfortunatly my overclock wasn't too impresive, but it still chews up 3d gfx and spits out solid FPS.

Why not get a 9800 pro for cheaper?

Sorry to piss on your bonfire .

i paid 225 inc delivery. that 9800pro is 248 inc vat and you need to pay delivery on top.

you can wipe up your piss now, if you like

Be nice boys or I'm going to have to remove BOTH you cards. I'm about due for an upgrade anyway.

I wouldn't buy anything from those w**kers. I got a defective Radeon AIW 9700 Pro from that outfit about 7 months ago, and I sent it back. I'm still waiting for my refund (credit card company is dealing with it). I bought a replacement card (9800 Pro) elsewhere, and I wouldn't go back to that company again.

You got a defective one like it was broken and didnt work when u put it in. or it was cracked when you opened the box?

read my post in the forums about my total F**ked 9700 pro which is still kicking away for some reason but its pissing me off !
