Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card

Strengths: This card is built with the ddr-II spec memory and performs as well as any 9800xt for about 150 less! Woooooooooooooo!

Weakness: NONE!

Amazed with the performance right out of the box. The video card ripped 3dmark 03 to 5613 with no tweaks. I am very happy with the upgrade from the ti-4200 I was running. This is definely the best card for the money period!

Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card

Strengths: Great visuals, what you can expect from ATI. Fast as hell, great refresh rate. And pretty darn cheap for a 256MB 9800 Pro.

Weakness: Generic fan which is generally stable but I would recommend buying an aftermarket one just to be on the safe side.

Fellow modders rejoice! Runs great straight out of the box, easy as pie to install. And boy what a bang for the buck. Runs Doom 3 perfectly on the "Ultimate" video settings in any resolution. And dont worry about this video card being an ATI clone, the company Sapphire actually manufactures all the "Official" Radeons anyway.

Are you sure it runs doom 3 perfectly on the ultimate video setting in any resolution because I read some other reviews and they said that they get less than 30 fps with all the lowest possible settings.
