ati 9800 pro r350 vs r360 video card

[rickyman]

i want to know what is the difference?

Uh, one has the R360 core, one has the R350. Duh.

The R360 is the core originally developed for the 9800XT. They tend to overclock a bit better, and have the onboard thermal sensor (although I believe this is only enabled if you softmod your card into a 9800XT). That's about it.

no onboard sensor on either r350 or r360 except for the 256MB versions of r9800 including xt.

The ONLY difference is the r360 is a later "stepping" that handles heat issues better - i.e. can usually o/c better . . . . although the later r350s o/c about the same now.

i wouldn't care which one was in my rig unless it was the 256MB version - in that case, only r360- can be flashed to a "true" 'xt'.

so can r350 chip will be able to o/c to xt too or not?

to xt "speeds" . . . . usually but not guaranteed for the later r350s

it is also not guaranteed for r360

ONLY the r360 r9800 256bit/256MB can flash to a "true" 9800xt.

i guess that is why 256mb/256bit is about 200 or more.


can every ati 9800 pro 128mb /256bit flash bios to xt or not?

I unfortunately ended up with a R350 core on 256MB version. However, it overclocks to 420mhz core and 370mhz mem stably. I dunno how this compares to R360 overclcoks.

The above will answer your EVERY question and some you haven't thought of . . . . STUDY it if you want to flash your pro.

it is a waste to flash a 128MB pro into xt (imo)
