need an ATI 9800/Pro suggestion

[ThePiston]

I'm in the market for a card and I like ATI. I'd looking in the area of $150. THe 9800 cards go from $125 up to $200 for the Pros. What's the difference and can anyone suggest a middle of the road card? I'll be playing HL2 and CS Source at 1024x768 and I want to see most of the lighting effects. Thanks.

The 9800pro 128 meg is the best choice of the lot at that price point. It plays the latest games very well, full resolution. The drivers at this stage are very stable. Just finished HL2 at 1280 x 1024, with everything on high. The graphics are tremendous, the game played very smoothly, no problems at all.

Good luck with your decision.

be sure you dont get the 128 bit version of the card.
