what drivers are you using for the 9800 pro? I had the same problem, some games ran fine then I installed the Sims 2 and it ran like crap, and sometime didn't even let me go past the menu screen. I upgraded the drivers from the CAT 4.7 to 4.10 and everything was fixed excpept in one of my games I had some graphic issues so I went to the 4.9's and everything good.

alright i tried 4.9 and its even worse... i have concluded thATI has pathetic drivers... my GF4ti 4280 outperformed my 9800 pro how pathetic...

 

[Cawboy99]

sorrry... tried 4.9 4.8 is worse., bout to try 4.7 so far 4.9 is best but not good

 

[dguy6789]

I am running Catalyst 4.6 drivers and NO problems in ANY games.

Nah... That's not possible unless you've got something fouled up. I went Ti 4200 -> 9600 pro -> 9800 pro. The Ti can't do what a 9800 pro can, not close. (Course, I never tried a Ti 4280 , actually never heard of it.)

yah the 4280 is just 4200 with 8x AGP and 128mb ram but the ram was 500mhz as apposed to the usual 128 which was i believe 444... still no where near the 9800 pro... the drivers just seem to suck im using omegas right now, the newest version and they seem to be doing well
