Might make 9800Pro's (even though not proper ones) even more affordable (like true mid range price point).

Pic 2 looks like a 9700 Pro (HSF + power connector) 😕

A. wtf?
B. benchies please

Yeah, That is a 9700 non pro

😀

The point is what? 9800Pro 128MB version has been around awhile since they first came out with the 9800

no, its 128 bit instead of 256

128 bit not 256 memory bus

I couldn't find any benchies yet 🙁, but if this card exists (assuming it has 8 pipes) it will most likely be performing somewhere between a 9800SE and a full 9800 Pro, and I think it's performance should be closer to a 9800SE than a 9800 Pro.

or a 9700 non pro .. what does the bios say

Great :roll:

Guess we needed another card added into the mix to create more confusion.

The 9700np doesn't have the memory arrangement as shown in the pic, and it has a 256-bit memory bus.

9700 non pro has 256 bit I BELIEVE

Hey, if it does not bench proper send it Back .. I cant think of anything else
😀

 

[Lonyo]

Wait a minute, isn't this a 9500Pro with higher clocks?
I'd say it'll be better than a 9600XT and a 9500Pro.

9700 non pro has 256 bit .That is not a 9700np, as they have a 256bus and BGA mem. That card is noting more than a terribly castrated (because of slow TSOP mem chips) 9800se. What are they 6ns mem?

If it's got 8 pipes, I guess the 9500pro has been reincarnated. 😀

IIRC it was the non-pro version that could softmod into a higher performing card.

 

[LTC8K6]

The 9500pro had 8 pipes and 128bit memory, it didn't need to be modded.

oh nm my mistake

thought you meant softmod when you mentioned 8 pipes and 9500 Pro when now I assume you mean 128-bit 9800 Pro = 9500 Pro in terms of performance and/or architecture.
