2.8NS Vs. 3.3NS 9700 Pro.

[Meziron]

There are two 9700 Pro's I am looking at. One is 275 with 3.3NS RAM and one is 289 for 2.8NS RAM. I know this changes my theoretical max RAM clock, but if I'm only overclocking slightly will I notice a difference? Will I notice a difference between the two stock? Is the difference worth $14?

Thanks.

definitely worth $14.

2.8 ns ram is good for 720 mhz stock...

1/3.3*1000 = 303. since its ddr, 303*2 = 606 mhz
1/2.8*1000 = 357. since its ddr, 357*2 = 714 mhz

going from mhz to nanoseconds is same formula
1/303*1000 = 3.3 ns
1/357*1000 = 2.8 ns.

I would buy the 2.8ns. My card has it, and it gets to 720 without any problem or cooling.
