i have a 128mb 9800 pro, and a 256mb 9600le. which is better for gaming? which is better for video editing? i dont overclock. im curious because i noticed doom 3 read the 9600le as the better card. let me know. thanks.
compare radeon 9600 specs VPU Core: 325MHz - 128-bit DDR memory interface - 4 parallel rendering pipelines powering - 2 parallel geometry engines - Full Floating Point Precision in real time - AGP 4x\8X support radeon 9800pro specs Bus Type AGP 4X, 8X Memory Amount (MB) 128 Memory Type DDR1 Memory Interface 256-bit Memory Clock Speed (MHz) 340 Engine Clock Speed (MHz) 380 Pipelines 8 Pixel Fillrate 3.04 Gpixels/sec Geometry Rate 380 MTriangles
9600 LE: GPU Clock Speed 325 MHz RAMDAC Speed 400 MHz Installed Memory 256 MB Memory Tech DDR SDRAM Memory Data Width 128-bit Pipeline Engines 4 Pipeline Engines Fill Rate 1.3 Gpixels 9800 Pro: GPU Clock Speed 380 MHz RAMDAC Speed 340 MHz Installed Memory 128 MB Memory Tech DDR SDRAM Memory Data Width 256-bit Pipeline Engines 8 Pipeline Engines Fill Rate 3.04 Gpixels 9800 Pro's memory speed may be slower, but the engine clock is faster. Also is 256 bit and has 4 more pipes. I would go with the 9800 Pro. Nephilim has that card and he's never complained about it.
