also i benched it with 3dmark2001se (missing out dragothic,as it kep crashing) and i only scored 13591 3dmarks,isnt this a bit low?

It's possible for it to be seen as a Pro - is it seen as clocked as a Pro too?

I would have thought 16,000 ish.
Try uninstalling & re-installing gfx drivers & control panel.

hi there

i havnt had a chance to see wot the clockspeeds are yet,it has infinion 3.0 ram onit does this tell u anything?
its also running on its stock drivers (cat 3.2) which are best?
would 16000 ish be for a normal 9800,or a pro??

For a non-Pro, a Pro should get well over 5000.

ahh i see,,so why does it register it as a pro then?
im assuming its becouse basically it is a pro just underclocked slightly?
it has infineon 3.0 ram onit,wot does this tell me in the way of overclocking?
thnx guys

i get 13,000 somthing with a 9600 all in wonder pro... and about 3900 plus in 3dmark03

nice 1 evil

well i done a little fsb overclocking last nite and tested the card again and ive managed to scrape 15250 in 3dmark2001se and just a fanny,s hair under 5000 in 3dmark2003!

i guess ile be happy enough with that for now,but im still baffled as to why it shows as a 9800pro,dont get me wrong it looks pleasing to the eye when its registered as such but the score doesnt reflect that of a pro unfortunately,,i hear its easy enough to clock them to pro levels and ide like to give it a go but i need some guidance from u guys,,could any1 reccomend a decent tool which will allow me to mess with the clock speeds,and also the card has infinion 3.0 ramchips onit (from wot i heer infinion dont clock well) could any1 gimme any more info please?

sorry for the questions but ive searched all weekend on the net for anything to do with powercolor 9800 and all i keep getting in the results is for the 9800pro version!

thnx in advance
