Radeon 9800 Pro Shootout

Loooking for a ATi Radeon 9800 Pro but not sure which brand to buy? then head this way to OC Prices, who have thrown up their six card shootout!

The Radeon 9800 Pro is without a doubt the dominant force in the high-end graphics card market. It has the performance – without image quality cheats – to run the latest Direct X 9.0 titles without having to reduce settings to an unacceptable level.

The cards we are looking at today are the Hercules 9800 Pro, the Crucial 9800 Pro, the Sapphire 9800 Pro with 256MB DDR, the HIS 9800 “IceQ” 9800 Pro, the ATi reference 9800 Pro with 256MB DDR and finally the All in wonder 9800 Pro, again from HIS. The key to this shootout will be differentiation, and of course price.

yes, I love when people compare different brands. I hope that one european manufacturer starts selling their coolers to general market so people can OC their cards better, not to mention LEDs.
