Introduction
Recently, I whipped up a guide showing you how
to mod an ATI Radeon 9800SE into a full-fledged Radeon 9800 Pro.
In that guide, I showed you the performance differences between the various
soft-mod methods. But I'll bet you are still hungering for more performance
comparisons! ![]()
In this article, I'll compare the performance of the modded Radeon 9800SE against the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra! I will test the FX 5950 Ultra at stock speeds to show you the actual performance of this card. The purpose of this article is to show you how well a modded RM 560 (USD 147) card can perform, compared to a RM 1395 (USD 367) card.
Just in case you are wondering, I didn't include the Radeon 9800XT for two reasons.
First, I think you know as well as I do that the Radeon 9800XT would simply
blow my card out of the water. ![]()
The second reason is, I wanted to compare it with the best that ATI’s
competitor has to offer, bar the GeForce 6800 Ultra which was just released.
Interesting, eh? Here they are - the two contestants for this evening! ![]()
