THe 9800pro has the f buffer and some bug fixes for the shaders. At this time its not a good move to get the 9800pro . The tx line is coming out but i'd say wait longer and buy the next series of cards which should come out after xmass . Rumors have it that they will have 3xs the shader performance of current cards. Games like half life 2 are shader limited and not fillrate limited.
