radeon sapphire 9800 or radeon sapphire 9800se

[ateam321]

after many attempts to fix the problem of image corruption on my sapphire radeon 9700. i have just about given up on it. I am thinking of selling my 9700 and buying a sapphire 9800. so my question is, is the sapphire 9800 any good, and if it is, should i get the sapphire 9800, or the sapphire 9800se.

The 9800SE is a "crippled" 9800. There are 4 pixel pipelines rather then 8 & it's generally fitted with 3.3ns RAM rather then 2.8.

Is the difference between the SE & the non-SE very steep ? Otherwise get the non-SE.

PS. Are you sure the image corruption is because of the 9700 ? It would suck for you to get a new card & have the same problem.

i used to have a sapphire radeon 9100, the 9100 never gave me any problems. im not sure why im having problems with the 9700, maybe it has compatibility problems with my via motherboard

is a sapphire radeon 9800 better than a sapphire radeon 9700

ive decided to sell my sapphire 9700 pro, and buy a ati 9800 pro, is the 9800 pro really as good as everyone says it is???

Yes it is - I have two of them.

The 9800-non-Pro is slightly slower then a 9700-Pro. The 9800-SE is the slowest of them all & the 9800-Pro the fastest ( behind the XT of course ).

HTH
