Anyone out there using the ATI 9800 Pro and EVE together?
I'm putting together a new system and am debating on whether to go with the NVIDIA FX (which I heard kinda sucks) or the ATI 9800 Pro (256mb version).

Wow, after having read through this section at length I can see that ATI wasn't really taken into consideration when EVE was being coded.
Either that or the nVidia and ATI cards are so disimilar that you almost require an nVidia card to play.
Now I think I will order the graphics card on the new machine last and see what develops over the next little while.

So you are saying you have both cards and they are both working fine with no problems at all?
Im not sure if I will have to upgrade to another MB since I will be purchasing a brand new MB with AMD processor within the next month or so.
Yes, the 5900 Ultra would be the way I would want to go except for the damn price of the thing.
I also like the looks of the Hercules 9800 Pro and own a Hercules Prophet III right now which works with no problems.
If CCP could make some form of statement as to the compatibility issues that EVE may or may not have with ATI cards I would much appreciate the information.

Excellent!
Well then I will take a risk and get the Hercules 9800 Pro and go from there.
They only make a 128mb version but the 256s from what I've seen only offer another 4-5 FPS for a bundle more of cash.
I'll look around for these catalyst 3.5's as well.

I don't think there will be fear of improper cooling...
I just picked this up on Wednesday.

My next trick will be the card and an AMD processor with suitable 8x mb.
Any links to the latest drivers for ATI cards? I'll check those out as well so I can install properly the first time around.

Morl,
I'm close... a little south actually, near Oakville area but I shop at Bigfoot since they seem to have decent pricing and some items that other stores don't carry.
