PowerColor 9800XT - Upgrading to DirectX 9

Damn this videocard is fast!

Quote:

While most of the reviews out there give you an idea how fast a video card is, almost none show you what the actual visual difference is between a DX8 and a DX9 capable video card. In this article we'll show you what improvements you get when upgrading to a DX9 graphics card, the Powercolor R9800XT (XR98T-D3)

Does this card provide core/mem temp readings?

jmke · 4th August 2004, 18:52

Core only if I remember correctly, through the ATI display options

Gamer · 4th August 2004, 19:49

only the core has a sensor on today's videocards, maybe in the future it will change

I believe they should change, don't you??
