hi, I have a 9800Se AIW. It does not softmod without artifacts.

What do you think its worth ? Comes with the remote etc and it in as good as mint condition.

Also I have been offered a straight swap for a 9800Pro. What do you think the actual performance increase in games would be like ? I play Americas army quite a bit and when I had my old Radeon 9000Pro the screen would stutter when smoke grenades were used, so I upgraded to this and it no longer stutters on smoke. So would see any real difference between this and a 9800Pro ?
the clocks on my 9800SeAIW are 378/338 and it has the 256bit mem. The 9800Pro is 378/337 and is basicly completely the same except for the 4 extra pipelines. Would I be able to see any difference?

thanks

As you can get actual 9800pro's for £135. I would say in the region of £70-80ish. But as you do have the remote its probably £80-90inc...or around there i would guess.....

Just out of interest where does it generate artifacts? i.e windows/linux, games, 3dmark?

Well basicly the artifacts are pink lines. They are always there, 2d/3d, as soon as I bott up into windows. Not always that noticable, but still there

I would say go for the straight swap buddy. The 8 pipelines will give you a difference, and i guess you are at max OC on the 9800SE AIW, whereas the 9800pro is just getting started. Possibly be able to flash it to 9800XT and then you have a uber good card.

If you dont use the AIW functions then go for it.

Interesting to see a softmodded 9800SE AIW beats a 9800pro... : however as yours doesnt.
