Thats the only complaint anyones ever had about them, is the memory they use. Dont bother with thinking about "I could have got one with faster emeory" and enjoy your new card....I would.

I help because you suck

use the 3.8s there's nothing wrong with them

endyen · Oct 26, 2003

This may be info you already have, but after you load the new cats ( the 3.8s work great for the 9600 pros) remember to set quality to max. I forgot and got halfway through halo thinking the graphics sucked. Better yet do the same thing I did, then you will really see what Ati chips are all about. Welcome to the club. The ram on your card may not clock as high as the BBA cards, but IQ is everything, one more frame/second means zip. Enjoy!!

<A HREF="http://www.sysopt.com/reviews/ati-AiW9600Pro/index.html" target="_new">My New Card</A> It runs at 500 chip/385 (DDR770) RAM. The problem I see is that your 3.3ns RAM will only run...maybe 300MHz (DDR600), a fairly large handicap.

I got a 20% performance gain by overclocking mine, it really helps when I'm using AA, AF, and high resolutions on DX9 games.

The two main issues are RAM, and $hitty Naming of cards. They also usually (at least for the R9600s I've heard about in the forums) have lesser overhead on the VPU too.

You shouldn't have any problems running it/them at stock speeds.

Now you can try and reach the same speeds as me, 535/365(730). But I wouldn't bet on it. :tongue:

Side Band Add= on or off? Same as above.
Stable o/c speed= Every card is different. Try it and see.
