Umm i'm trying to decide whether to get a 5900XT or a 9800SE, the 5900XT has a good performance guaranteed while with the 9800SE i have a 50% chance that a softmod will turn it into a 9800 Pro. Wich one would you get?

Btw wich softmod version should i get?


Link to softmods


P.S can i use the omega drivers and the apply the softmod?
 
I am in a middle of a video card crisis right now, I just bought the 9800pro (built by ATI, full retail) for $189. I am still thinking of whether to keeping it or not.
So how much is the 9800SE gonna cost you?
 
I'd wait until next month before buying a new video card 😉 If I had to buy a card now, I'd spend just a little extra on the 9800 Pro.
 
SE stands for "Special Education", which in video performance talk means SLOW CARD!!!! Stay away from SE cards in general. I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole!!!!
 
Make sure you get a 9800SE with 256bit memory, or it won't come anywhere near a 9800pro.
It would be like a 9500pro if it has 128bit memory, which would still be a lot faster than a 9800SE.
 
yes it has 256bit memory, its selling for about 130$ while the 5900xt is at 180$.

so when is the new batch of cards coming out?
 
9800 Pro for $189? Where do you see that? I havent seen them lower than $200 since September. Still my card of choice, but like i said if the 20 bucks is THAT important to you....

The evga 5900XT overclocks like crazy. If that is your thing, you can get some pretty decent performance on it.

Or you could go for the pre-OCed BFG 5900OC, HardOCP just did a review.
