November 21, 200421 yr This is directed to people who have and use the ATI 9800Pro.Whats it like in FS2004? Frames etc... Can you post me links to screen shots etc.. Im looking at buying the card next week.
November 22, 200421 yr Hi Pete,You should see a vast improvement over your current card. The 9800 Pro has twice as many pixel pipelines and faster memory and core clocks. Keep in mind that the upgrade won't yield alot more FPS... but you will certainly have a far nicer IQ. With your system you should be able to run at least 4XAA and 8XAF (w/ Quality setting).There are very few true 9800 Pro's (R350 core) available today. Most Pro's come with the R360 core (XT). It's a simple process to flash the video BIOS to turn the card into a 9800 XT (w/ 128MB of VRAM). The advantage is faster default core and memory clocks as well as some nice DirectX shader enhancements. If you do decide to flash to XT you should also purchase Arctic Cooling's VGA Silencer.Below is the only screenie I have remaining from a few I shot with my 9800 Pro. Image is of the Grand Canyon on an early morning flight this past summer aboad the B200.Hope this helps,Greghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/98403.jpg
