Bought the card yesterday. I always buy the best performing last gen hardware (mostly because I am cheap). System is an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ with 1 GB ram, 5.1 Gamer SBLive and the new 9800 Pro.
I knew it was going to be fast but I expected it to be faster. To be honest it isn't much faster than the Geforce3 it replaced. I expected huge gains and what I got was pretty big gains. Does that make sense?
I am not bitching, the card performs very well and I am very happy with it. I almost bought a 9700 Pro instead because it was about $50 less - GLAD I didn't seeing as the 9800 Pro didn't meet expectations.
Anyone have similar opinions? Or completely different opinions?
Haven?t played Doom3 or HL2 with the card yet so that will be the real test.
