[khrisjon1205]

I wanted to know how much performance if any would be between these cards:
Sapphire Radeon 9800SE 128MB DDR AGP8x DVI-I TV-Out Retail Box 150 GBP

or

Tyan Tachyon Radeon G9600PRO 8xAGP 128MB DDR VGA/DVI/S-Video/Hardware Monitoring Retail Box 129 GBP

thanks

I believe the Sapphire 9800SE has a 128 bit memory bus. If that is the case, it is a much worse performer than the 9600 PRO.

If a 9800SE has a 256 bit memory bus (Like hercules' 9800SE AIW), it is on Par with the 9600 PRO however... and has about a 50% chance of being modded into a true 9800 using only a hacked driver!

But if the Sapphire is 128 bit like I think it is, it's more expensive than a 9600 PRO, and performs worse as well.

The 9600 Pro is the more powerfull card. Both cards you show have the same technical specifications, but the 9600 Pro is clocked higher. It also draws less power and produces less heat. And it overclocks better.
