opinion about 9600 pro or 9800 se

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati (More info?)

I am looking at a new 9600 radeon pro for $105, and my friend wants to sell
his used 9800 se 256 bit for $100

just curious as to what you people would choose?

according to this guide
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/g [...] ts-02.html
the 9800se is 128bit not 256. it has slower core speed and faster memory.
some ppl find they can mod the card to a 9800pro just
by using the omega drivers - ask your friend if he has tried that.
even if you cant mod it the performance is still a bit better than the
9600pro so its worth it.

There's two versions of the 9800SE......

The SE model is noticeably slower. Not worth the small difference in price.

When I had to RMA a 9800Pro and the only other cards they had in stock
were a 9800SE AIW and a 9600 Pro, the shop recommended the 9600 Pro
even though it meant them giving me more money back as it was cheaper.

If it's a Powercolor 9800se it's definitely 256 bit and clocked 380/340 so
it will walk all over a
9600Pro. Also a good chance it can be modded to a full 9800Pro.
