So which Mac ATI card is fastest?

Posted:
in General Discussion edited January 2014
There are way to many letters and numbers surrounding the ATI graphics cards. I know the 9800 series is fastest, but there is the XT, 9800 Pro, Pro SE or something like that, and I'm sure a couple others. Which one is fastest? Is the best one offered by Apple truly the fastest, or should I buy from ATI?



Sigh... I never thought I would have this problem with any Apple-related things.

    9800XT is the fastest clocked on the PC side IIRC, so I assume the same holds on the Mac side.

    The 9800 Pro is the baseline Mac card (of the 9800 series, that is). The 9800 Pro SE is the 9800 Pro with 256 MB of RAM, as opposed to the 128 in the normal 9800 Pro. The 9800 XT is faster than the 9800 Pro, with 256 MB RAM.
