    How do you mean what do i mean?

    The flash should work on all R360 cores, regardless of PCB.

    1337modderman.. there is an obvious difference in the PCBs.

    The temp monitor is only on the 256mb XT, and the 256mb pro which has the R360 core, and is on the XT PCB, as it is EXACTLY the same card as the 256mb XT. You can only unlock the temp monitor on the 9800pro w/256mb.

    Nevermind, i just thought from what people had said in this thread it was kinda obvious what cores the Sapphire 9800pros had..

    But i suppose no one directly said "Sapphire 9800pros currently are shipping with the R360 core".

    Check the pics I posted above, there of a Sapphire ATi Radeon 9800PRO 128MB that I bought a few days ago.


    Cheers,
    Mike

    P.S.
    You can clearly see the R360 core :rock:

    No, unless you have a 256mb version, which is, as i said, indentical to the XT.
