Just got a 9800 Pro, very happy

[Slogun]

Couldn't wait anymore, ran out to BestBuy today and picked up the 9800 Pro for $350.
(I know, can be had online for less, couldn't wait any more, was gonna pm at Staples, but 3 stores I went to had none).

My 3D Mark 2001 benchmark jumped from 12,952 to 19,016.

And now I can say goodbye to the need for the nVidia refresh rate fix for my CS.

BTW, I just loaded the drivers from the CD, what drivers do people find to be best for this card?

Cat 3.7? The newest ones so far....

Save yourself an install and wait for the Cat 3.8's due Wednesday.

3.8 when they come out. 3.7 for now. 3.6 if you have compatability issues with some games.
