Question : Is the SAPPHIRE RADEON™ 9800 XT better than the 9800 XT original? Because i am think about purchasing a 9800 XT 256mb but i am just curious if there is a difference. SO i am asking the DriverHeaven community for your advice. Please help me out.

i would say the BBATI would be the better choice. but i know what the best 9800XT is check my sig. and its a fact

check up on PC formats review in the magazine shop! just behind it was Asus 9800 XT <but to me it sucks> anything thats not 100% designed by ATI will suck.

Beware some of the Ati sapphire cards do not have use of the overdrive feature!

I'd say get and offical Ati! You'll be happier!

yeah - that's a good overclock. My preference would go towards the Sapphire card... I have used them a couple of times in the past and they have always turned out the best for me
