Digit-life caught some interesting news today. There are Radeon 9800 Pro graphics cards on the market with a 128-bit memory bus, completely misleading the consumer. It basically cuts memory bandwith and thus performance in half. Sapphire is such a company that is selling them. Although Sapphire marks the box with a 128-bit specification most generic users don't have a clue what this means and thus can do for performance.

 

As you can see, they are designed similar (but not identically) to usual RADEON 9800SE-128bit/9500Pro products, feature TSOP chips, but clock rates are 325/580 MHz instead of PRO's 380/680 MHz. They are suitable for RADEON 9800 more.

 

In other words, there are three differences:

 

PCB design

TSOP memory chips

Reduced clock rates

Nevertheless, the card is named Radeon 9800 PRO. It's good there's a sticker on box that notes of 128-bit bus, but the "Pro" suffix is not to mean reduced clock rates, so we are slightly anoyed by this. Very misleading.

 

greit å vite...

Dette kan nok lure endel ja. Det ble også tatt opp i en artikkel her på hw.no: http://www.hardware.no/art.php?artikkelid=7606
