9600 pro or 9800 non-pro?

[AgentZero]

Alright, I have about 250 to spend on a video card... and best buy has theses 2 cards on sale, the Raedon 9600 pro for like $170 or the Raedon 9800 non-pro for like $250... which one should i get for HL2?? lol :dork:

9800 np of course

silly question 9800np clearly because it has the extra clock speed and 4 more pipelines

I gotta sapphire 9800np running a pro speeds. Blinding card. HL2 will play like it does in all the videos. It's gotta be a 9800, that extra money will pay for itself later down the line.

no not worth the risk for a couple more frames a second. Changes your memory voltage, sounds risky. Just regular overclock works great for me.

I might go pick it up at Best Buy, I hate waiting :flame:
