ATI Radeon 9800 PRO Mac Edition 128MB DDR (DVI/VGA) (AGP) Video Card
Description
The cinematic revolution continues with the Radeon 9800 PRO Mac Edition, one of the fastest and most visually advanced 3D performer on the planet. A supercharged, 128-bit DDR memory interface and 8 thrilling pixel pipelines generate the power to deliver real-time, Hollywood calibre graphics for the most demanding next-generation games.
More than just a higher clocked Radeon 9700, the Radeon 9800 Pro doesn't cease to impress because of the minor but potent improvements ATI made to the R350 core. Definitely a pleasant surprise, ATI has produced a worthy interim successor to the Radeon9700 Pro. If you want the best out today, look no further than the Radeon 9800 Pro; it's quiet, faster, occupies a single slot, and will enjoy much wider availability than the GeForce FX.
The R350 neither makes much difference from its predecessor, R300, nor offers any radical changes. The clock speeds have been raised, with some optimization to the drivers and some small architectural innovations added.
The F-buffer proved to be the major innovation. This technology offers hardware support for the execution of shader having unlimited length through partitioning them into pieces. Use of this technology gives some performance boost in shader-enabled applications.
By and large, the R350 is simply a polished and optimized version of the R300, even the quantity of transistors in the chip remained the same. There aren't any essential technological distinctions from the predecessor chip.
Comes in full retail box.
Q: How can I determine if this is the correct Video Card to order?
A: The best way to determine this is to email us at sales@welovemacs.com with your machine serial number, NOT the serial number of the Video Card and sales will email you the correct part to order. You can also check your EEE code on your Video Card. To be sure you are ordering the correct replacement part for your computer, make sure the EEE code of your existing Video Card corresponds to one of the EEE codes listed below in notes.
EEE Code Note: All Apple Video Card have a special three digit "EEE" code embedded in the Video Card serial number which positively identifies the part. Please note that this is the serial number of the Video Card, NOT the serial number of the machine. The Video Card serial number is on a tag which has the format "xxxxxxxEEEx". The "EEE" code is the three letters immediately preceding the last digit of the serial number.
