Radeon 9800 Pro 128: Is it worth the upgrade?

byGr8ful Apr 8, 2004
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Fast frame rate. 128MB DDR. Compares well with NVIDIA 5900FX.
Cons Somewhat expensive but you get what you pay for.
Recommended it? Yes

"Hooray! It's here!" Finally after 10 days and $204.79, my new Radeon 9800 Pro 128 video card finally arrived. Now all I had to do was install it and explain to my wife why this card was worth two hundred bucks. The first part was easier than the second since my wife knows little to nothing about...

It's Getting Hot In Here: Upgrades, PCIx, and Shifting Video Cards

Pros Fast, fast, fast, and with the latest price drop, cheap!
Cons Power hungry - Requires a good motherboard and power supply.
Recommended it? Yes

Cripes, this review got old. PCI-E is here and going strong, having turned into a better value for the money, performancewise, than AGP is anymore. And they settled on calling it "PCI-E" instead of "PCI-X" so as to minimize confusion with the old and seldom-used server board standard of the same... Read full review »

Pros Fast, driver team very proactive, quiet
Cons Expensive, but hey - it's the best!
Recommended it? Yes

I've been building my own PC's for a long time. I typically standardize on the best components money can buy. While speed is important to me, stability is paramount. In the past, ATI has had a lot of issues with driver stability in their products, and that's kept me on the NVIDIA side of the road... Read full review »

Cons Can get very hot, expensive
Recommended it? Yes

I just picked this card up at BestBuy for $299 (includes a $50 rebate) to replace my Radeon 9500 Pro 128MB. I've used the 9800 Pro for the past week and here are my observations.

This is one serious card! Check out all the gaming sites and you'll notice that this... Read full review »

Pros Fast, Quiet, Great Warrenty and RMA
Cons Poor Linux Support, requires a odd power connector for fan
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my Radeon 9800 from a somewhat questionable online dealer. I paid for the card as if it were new, but the card wasn't. Nonetheless I used the card and didn't RMA because the performance was astounding.

To give you a idea of how powerfull it is, I was able to play all of my... Read full review »

I bought this card to replace my Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB, I only bought the 9000 last year however this was at the budget end of the market and I did not expect much for #60. Suffice to say the 900 Pro suffered greatly with later games and does not support DX9, frame rates were getting unplayable... Read full review »

Pros Is really fast
Cons Only stable with 8X AGP boards.

First let me say I am NOT a gamer. However I do like to have top quality components in my computers.
I started building computers about five years ago for myself and many of my friends. I like to know that I am getting good components in my computers.

9800 Pro 128 in the upper echelon of performance video cards

Pros Screaming fast; best in cost/performance ratio (IMO)
Cons Runs pretty hot; requires an additional Molex plug for power (a splitter cable is...
Recommended it? Yes

I'd been hoping to see the price of this card go down in light of ATI's recent announcement of the 9800's successor; the x800. Sure enough, I found a great price at Fry's 1-Day Anniversary Sale on this card.

The 9800 Pro 128 is definitely a top of the line unit. Even when compared to the... Read full review »

Pros Sizzling performance, great image quality, still competetive.
Cons Sizzling your computer, still a bit pricy.
Recommended it? Yes

I managed to get my grubby little hands on ATI's second most powerful card on the market, the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO. Recently, ATI came out with a $500 Radeon XT card which offers slightly more performance for $200 more than the 9800 PRO, which is a ripoff. If you're looking for a high end card that...

Pros Really fast, powerful
Cons Expensive, power inefficient (just need good power supply, 400+ W)
Recommended it? Yes

This product is unbelievable... I definitely do not regret spending the $200 it cost... while it may not be the most efficient card (which most people who have this card are NOT worried about)... requires a decent power supply and generates significant heat... will handle any visual eye candy you...
