SAPPHIRE ATLANTIS ATI RADEON 9800SE 256MB TVOUT DVI RETAIL

Is it good? Can I upgrade it to 9800pro with the omega drivers? Is it worth 140euro?

In my experience the Omega drivers never gave me extra fps, actually, the omega drivers sometimes had a graphical glitch for me that the ground dissapeared and i fell down trough the world and died because of ultra high falling damage.

Below are some nice screenies showing the Omega Drivers in action:

As I understand you can softmod some 9800SE cards to open all of the pipelines, however you may expereince graphical corruption and/or other problems and it will almost certainly invalidate your warranty... :)

What about the price? Is it worth it?
