Default Radeon 9800se

my friend said he would sell me a radeon 9800se 128mb for $110. I haven't been keeping up with the newer cards lately but i c hecked on some sites and it is like $150 so now the question I am asking is if this card is any good? Well for that price at least or can i get better?

Some of the 9800se cards can be flashed to a 9800 pro but its a small percentage. Basically a 9800se is a 9800 with disabled pipelines. It will perform pretty close to a 9600pro/XT - I believe depending on the game the 9600pro/XT will have the edge over the 9800se. Check what brand it is and see if you can find a review on it......keep in mind you can order a 9600pro off pricewatch for $82 and have a new card.

I THINK he said it was a saphire edition but I'm not quite sure, I will ask him about the make too. Thanks

The 9800SE is a total joke performance-wise, even 9600 Non-Pro's beat it.
If you can turn it in to a 9800 Non-Pro then by all means get it.

to be able to flash the SE to NP or even Pro it needs to have 256-bit arcitecture; not the 128-bit system that most 9800SE's have...

I'm not 100% sure how you could find that out though...
