| ATI RADEON 9800 Power to the F-Buffer (what else is new?) | |
| (Review by MS, July 18, 2003) |
The RADEON 9800 Pro is factory-clocked at 378 MHz ("380" MHz) core frequency and 338 MHz ("680" MHz) memory. The Samsung components are 8M x 32 and use essentially the same 256 bit quad-controller configuration as known from the RADEON 9700 Pro. Overall, the main difference between the 9800 and the 9700 series is, aside from the f-buffer, the operating frequencies. It is certainly true that, for example the Tyan Tachyon already allowed overclocking to frequencies beyond those specified for the 9800, that is 400 MHz core and 350 / 700 MHz memory but keep in mind that those were not officially supported settings, meaning: "Enter at your own Risk".
The hardware bundle comprises mainly connectors and connectors and .. connectors.
