Im planning on buying this card, if you have it can you tell me please how does it run? :)

*bump* :$

i guess it will run correctly :P

I'm getting the same thing for Christmas... Best Buy had a deal on it.

With my R9800Pro is running perfectly,check this screenshot :p

I would not buy a 9800SE.

There are 2 different versions of this card available - the cheaper ones have a 128-bit memory bus and are no better than a 9600 Pro/XT. The more expensive ones have a 256-bit memory bus, but for about the same price you could get a full 9800 non-pro which will work much better in the latest games.

Both versions have only 4 pixel pipelines like the 9600 series, instead of 8 like the other 9800's.

I'd get either a 9600XT or a 9800 non-pro depending on how much you want to spend. Either of these would run PES3 and all the latest games great (I have a 9800 Pro btw).

ATI are really starting to :f***: me off with all these stupid crippled versions of their cards. It's like they're trying to confuse the customer on purpose.

Yes I also considered buying the SE, but its a ripoff. I now have the 9800 Pro, no problems with 1280 x 1027 with detail setting on high.

:rockman:

Then which card should I buy? I only have 150$ to spend.

:(

My specs, firstly:
-Gateway Select 1100 (coming up on 3 years in February) AMD Athlon 1.1 GHz; 256MB RAM, non-overclocked, simply because I don't have a clue how to.
-ATI Radeon 7200 (32MB)
-MSI Athlon motherboard (part #2512594)

It runs in 640x480 windowed mode with low detail. First off, can the motherboard and processor be replaced by stuff which is faster, or am I SOL on the motherboard? Secondly, I haven't had any problems with my Radeon card (Catalyst latest version for me, driver-wise). So which 9000 series Radeon would you suggest I try?

Any help appreciated. The BIOS I have is currently upgradeable, but will that make any significant difference? And what about this new program 3D-Analyze, which was suggested in the gamefaqs forum for this game as a possible antidote to the slowness of PES3?

Thanks :)

i run the game with my ti4200 on 1200 x 1080 and full details fine
i suggest you guys invest in a ti 4600

150$??

Hm... I don't know. Try a 9600 pro or xt.

Also take a look at the FX5700

the game works perfect on my radeon 9000 :)

The best value for money card around atm is the 9600 Pro, cheaper than a Ti4600 on pricewatch.com and will play the latest games better.

I'd get that rather than a 9800SE, or if you can go up to $160-165 get a 9600XT.

ok thanks for the tips guys it looks like im getting a 9600 Pro
