9800se--->pro

[StrangerGuy]

I do know Excaliberpc ship internationally. Their site is here. Their terms and conditions can be found here.

The main issue here is that the price of the card you want to buy cannot exceed US$150 (if you don't live in US/Canada/UK/Aus/NZ) and you need to pay by Paypal.

I don't know whether if you can find your card you want under US$150, but hopefully what I mentioned here helps.

hmmm doesnt seem i can find a $150 9800pro. does anyone else know of anywhere that ships overseas? im still awaiting the email i sent ncix asking if they ship overseas. ill phone them later today. but it seems that anywhere is going to be cheaper than buying a $600 9800pro over here

ebay may be your only option

i found this they seem to support shipping overseas and have a 9800pro in stock. does anyone have an opinion of these people?

30-Day money back with 30% restocking fee for non-defective returns.

Ouch, thats pricy!
I would look around this site and try to get as much info as you can about it. check: resellerratings.com (not sure if that is exact link but it is something to that). Call or e-mail them to give you a final price so that you aren't surprised when your credit card bill comes.

the 256MB's of ram is really wasted most of the time in games, and not really worth the extra $70-80 you pay for it.

what i have found interesting is the 9800SE from powercolor (model #R98SE-C3) that uses the R350 or R360 core. it will flash to a 9800Pro if it's the R350 core and to an XT if it's the R360 core. granted it will be a 128MB version in either case, but it does use the 256Bit memory and only costs $144 from newegg. It also has a crapy heatsink/fan so you might want to do some creative cooling (such as slapping an old CPU heatsink on it with a 80MM case fan)

just get the 9800SE that has 256Bit memory and flash it to a 9800XT.

old thread...

do not flash any R350... only OC and softmod an 9800SE to a pro (much much safer). an R360 is flashable.

 

[scaryclownsarefun]

How do you perform the flash if you happen to get a R360 core?

 

[Delorian]

You must find the bios and flashing software, try googling
