newegg.com just dropped their price of their famous radeon 9800np.

i ordered about a week ago for 259$ with 3.3samsung memory.

its now 248$ click here
 
so next week should be 237 at new egg

then beginning of september should be 227!

i think i wait couple more weeks for price drop
 
I think they stopped charging for will-call a while back. I haven't been charged the last few times, and can't find an item to add to the cart that doesn't say free will-call.
 
Price dropped again allstarshop.com has it for $232 and Newegg has it for $233, maybe by the time I'm ready to buy it'll be around $200 even.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these prices are for the Radeon 9800 SE. The cheapest I could find on both sites for the Radeon 9800np is $249.
 
Allstarshop increased the price for 9800np back to $249 on Monday, I waited for it to drop some more but missed the deal and had to order from Newegg.com for $248 w/Fedex Saver and free Newegg Hat 🙂
 
How high are you guys able to overclock with these saphire 9800 np?
I'm tempted to upgrade from my 8500 but still delaying...

oops, i see it is the non-pro. what is the difference between the pro and non-pro?

how much slower is the non-pro?

Clock speeds. 9800np ~ 9700pro
If you get one that has good ram on it you should be able to hit 9800 pro speeds with it.

se - uses only 4 (half of regular)
regular - use 8 parallel rendering pipelines

i have one. bought it from newegg.com sapphire 9800np with 3.3 samsung.
comes default clock at 340/290.
flashed to 9800pro bios, automatically set clock at 380/340.
i have it overclocked to boot up at 400/350.

very good card. the best i ever owned.
 
Find someone who needs a new dell and pay them to include the 9800np in their configuration, it's only $120. That's what I did, then I just gave them a $15 radeon I picked up at office depot.
