Hello,

How does the "eye candy" of the ATI 9800Pro compare to that of a 9600XT?  I
currently have an Sapphire 9600XT and I'm actually considering the
All-in-Wonder versions of each, but wanted to get an idea of what I should
expect in terms of visual improvements from the 9800Pro..  The games I play
the most are Unreal Tournament 2004, Need for Speed Underground 2, and Doom
3  I
also expect to play Need for Speed Most Wanted when it comes out next
month..  I'd imagine that my frame rates would go up given the faster clock
speeds, but how much of a visual improvemnet if any should I expect?

Also, anyone have any major problems with the 9800Pro?  I've had my 9600XT
for over a year now and I've been satisfied with it thus far.  I've not
even had problems with video drivers, a major concern when I switched to an
ATI card.

Thanks for any and all input,

Jeff
