9800 AIW

[apesoccer]

Was wondering how the AIW conpare to the straight 9800s and pros? Some older AIWs had faster timings... Is there any difference now? Anybody know of any current benches of the AIW...yes i've chked out all the benches on all shades of 9800 other than that, as well as about every other card out there.

Reason i'm asking is i found a AIW ATI card with 9800 and the tuner on it...but its labeled aiw 9800, not aiw 9800 pro. $140 [Link is dead now. Was to OutPost.com]

Well the AIW generally do not OC very well as the standard ones. That and mounting better HSF solutions were a pain. Only get the AIWs if you ARE going to use the DVI function of it.

Officially there isn't, but unofficially several companies have bought foreign cards and imported them to the U.S. market against ATI's wishes.
