Question about Ati 9800 XT?
I'm plan to getting a Ati 9800 XT w/ 256 MB DDR in the store cost about USD$499.99.
I need to replace a old Geforce 2 that not fast enough in FS9 and etc. Can you help me that video card is faster enough? |

Yeah, that video card is overkill for most games, I'd wait for the price to drop on it. If you're set on dropping $500 on a card, that's the one to go with. If you have a weak power supply, watch out.... these things are hungry.

Are you sure? 115 W will hardly even run a computer. It definitely won't handle the 9800. http://www.ati.com/products/radeon98...pro/specs.html They recommend at least a 300 W, but I'd get more than that for sure.

and definatly dont pay retail for a video card. go check pricewatch.com for the lowest price on any card you want, you may even find some models you didnt even know you wanted!
Myself, I have my eye on a an ATI Radeon 9800Pro 256 DDR, unfortunatly its right above the big price jump. I might settle for the 128 version, which is still a great card. |

Do you have a reason or do you just not like them?
