9800pro - hynix memory or samsung memory?

[troublesbro]

Have an opportunity to purchase a 9800 pro. one has hynix memory, the other has samsung...

I've heard good things about ati cards with samsung memory... but I've heard that hynix
can be better in general.

I know there are some opinions out there... what do you guys think?

 

[troublesbro]

anybody?

I vote Samsung.

I've got a 9800NP flashed to a pro and the 3.3ns Samsung memory runs all the way up to 391 with RAMSinks on it. I haven't heard anything about Hynix memory.

 

[Evdawg]

i've never heard of Hynix

 

[Richdog]

Samsung is about 2x the quality of Hynix and Infineon. Overclocks far better. No brainer.:beer:

 

[modedepe]

Definitely samsung

 

[troublesbro]

The vote is in... the purchase made!

Thanks guys!

I agree. Flash it to a 9800XT

How can you check the ram on the board to see what kind it is?

 

[modedepe]

Just look on the memory chips. It'll have it printed on them.

 

[Schadenfroh]

samsung all the way
