256 mb radeon 9800 pro question

i heard from someone that the 256 mb radeon 9800 pro has a lower cache rate than the 128 mb version, does this effect its performance in any way? because i plan on getting the 256 mb version

I'm thinking I'm going to stick to buying an R9800 - 256mb

6xAA/8xAF is good enough visually for me Doubt 8xAA really does anything that you'd notice while actually playing.

Edit: By the way, whats with this? http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/..._guide-12.html

Tom was probably utilizing NVidia's "special" drivers for that test...

I have to say, I have the 128mb 9800 and I think its great. I went from the Geforce 4 mx420 in my sig, so the jump was HUGE.

How much is the 9800 Pro 128 MB going for across the pond, back in the motherland??

Logic says that if it's selling for $270 USD, it should be selling for £170 or so. But it's probably selling for more like £270 or so... the exchange rate doesn't quite work out for electronics for some reason.

You got it in one. It cost me £300 about a month ago, dropped to about £270 ish now. The conversion doesnt work on electronical stuff. On the expensive stuff, we end up paying as much in £ as you do in $ on some kit.
