I bought this 9800 this summer. I want to get money for a brand new 9800XT, so that is the reason why I am selling it. It has Samsung 2.8ns (-GC2A) ram, so if you like to overclock this card is for you.
I have only overclocked this card once however, and that was when I was trying to get my max 3dMark score. It was overclocked at a whopping 452/378 (past XT speeds) and I got 19,800 points -

Since then I have put 4 aluminum ramsinks that I got from a Vantec chipset box on the ram to keep it running cool. Note that at the time I bought it, I thought it was a 9800, but when I put it in my system, it was detected as a 9800Pro and ran at Pro speeds. So it may just be a Pro. I have never flashed the bios. So when u put this card in your system it will already be a 9800Pro.
Im asking for $260 shipped. Price includes USPS Priority w/ tracking and delivery confirmation. I am also looking for some pc3700 43B ram (might consider some GOOD pc3200++).
