Is this the same as a standard ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with 128Mb DDR, just made
by a independent manufacturer?
Any comments on quality or performance?
Thanks

Yes, Sapphire is the largest company that makes ATI card. In fact they even
make ATI card for ATI. I have one and it's a great buy. I paid $215 at
Newegg. The ATI is going for $270. I'm very happy with my card. JLC

Hi,
yeah Sapphire is nice!. They make great Radeon cards. The one you are
thinking of buying is very good, better than mine (at stock!). I have the
Sapphire 9800 (np) bought last year for $394.08 US. Even though mine is the
non-pro version it is still really crazy fast, and very beautiful 3D. I
have bought some TweakMaster BGA ramsinks and an Artic VGA cooler. If you
get the 9800Pro you should also order the Artic cooler, its made to fit the
9800 series very well and will help your VPU/general system run cooler. You
should see it, so big! but it takes the heat from your card and sends it out
the back of the PC.

Have no worries, buy that card, add the Artic cooler (maybe ram-sinks also)
and overclock it past 9800XT stock speeds, not that you need to!

Been looking into overclocking it. Any advice on the best method? I have
got Ram sinks. Plus I am buying a thermaltake case to fit it all into.

Is that the same one I just bought at Newegg? (-: I know the GPU is
important, but I think sometimes who the independent manufacturer is can be
half the battle for a good card.
